Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT strips 4381-4385 (Oct 26th to Oct 30th 2020)
Tova:
I also wouldn't interpret the question, "Do you find me attractive," as an invitation to immediately imagine having sex with them.
sitnspin:
Also fair, although I can't really think of a situation where I would actually ask that question.
Tova:
I also also don't think that rating my desire to have sex with someone as the greatest way of determining whether I want to start a relationship with them.
DaiJB:
This is another of those comics where I read it and chuckle - then I re-read it and chuckle again...
It seems Clinton is doomed to be QC's Butt Monkey :-D

Oh, I fully immerse myself in my imagination, when I do. And even when I don't. Even when I `stick to the facts' about the person. The best guage, I found, is going over all the little details, in mind, imagining fully each separately. After which, when I interact with the person, with all those small imaginings ready---after a few times, I can make the decision. A few days later, I make my decision. This is actually the same as my hiring process, except I stick to the facts on the resume. (And use a bland surrogate (average employee) instead of meeting them---the interview is after the decision is finalized, only to test the truth of their resume.) That's actually why I thought the `dating resume' bit was perfectly natural. (Or was that from Something Positive? which I found about the same time as Questionable Content, and my start-binge had me switching between them like alternating storylines---meanwhile in Boston.. meanwhile in Northampton.. To day, they feel like mutual spins-off.)
