While I don't disagree that that is one of the (stereo)typical qualities of men that suck, unfortunately women suck just as hard as men (or just as little, in my opinion), just because of different (stereo)typical qualities... :roll:

--- Quote from: snufflebottoms on 31 Oct 2017, 05:35 ---I thought Claire was a bit harsh. I mean, Marten was just making conversation that it was bothering him, he was't like lamenting about it. And while yeah his sarcastic comment about being emo might be annoying that's his personality so like don't date him if you don't like it?
But I'm wondering if this set up is leading us to learn something about Claire's personal life.
She really reminds me of a friend of mine. Except my friend's Dad isn't missing and her brother is younger and she isn't trans. But like the bro/sis relationship, the piercings, how she jokes and laughs and how she treats men in a relationship? SPOT ON for the bad and the good.

Yeah I'm with you on this. Marten made it pretty clear that he was being facetious and actually seems perfectly aware that he has to be proactive about it. This seems like a setup to dive a little deeper in some of Claire's emotional spectrum and underlying reasons for possible chips on her shoulder (e.g. with regards to her cheating father who she seems to not have contact with anymore). Possibly one of the reasons why her parents' marriage didn't work out (prior to her dad cheating I mean) was a lack of emotional labor by her dad and instead chosing the 'easy' route of infidelity.

I assume the comments previously in the thread quoting Marten being a "fuckboi" are referring to the author's comment at the bottom of the comic image. For the record, this now reads "Marten is kind of a dipshit sometimes".

Seriously, huge difference in tone. "Marten is a general dipshit" is way different to "Marten is this specific kind of dipshit", and it's nice to see the edit get made.
Is it cold in here?:

I know, right? Almost as attractive as when a woman belittles a man for the emotional stuntedness caused by society's, which includes her, expectations of him.
Yeah, that street goes both ways lady. :grumpypuss:

Welcome, new person!
With Marten being from California I'm going to guess that his mother was more of an issue than society was. We know she can be overbearing.
Thing is, he's been out on his own for years and while I respect and acknowledge the difficult work involved the fact is he's responsible for his own life now.
