his world has an almost where every physical location he inhabits is painful (work with Tai hitting on Dora, Coffee of Doom with Dora blowing him off then dating an old perv, and My Secret Backery with said perv) and his friends all just accept the situation without support or commiseration except being told to buck up or that it would be hot if Tai and Dora got together.
THANK YOU.
Marten may have had one off-night where he turned into a dick and showed the
false sense of entitlement of being a "Nice Guy", but that doesn't deter me from thinking that he does deserve some kind of break. Granted, this happened at first when his mother flew in to remind him what a nice living situation he had, (and he had Faye, Hannelore, and Tai to hang out with him, whereas Dora had Sven telling her how hot Marten's mom was), but now it's just devolving back into him being the scapegoat and butt of more sadistic humor, whereas Dora is able to get a date almost instantly afterwards.
Additionally, if Marten is going to find another date, he's probably going to have to go out and approach other girls, (which will take nerve now that he's no longer emitting "
the scent"), whereas Dora will most likely have the guys coming to her to pick and choose from.
And someone summed it up - since one visit from his mom didn't manage to cure him of his post-breakup blues in one night, all his friends seem to be expecting him to suck it up and move on. A woman who stressed him out a bit during his relationship with various double standards still gets plenty of other guys coming to her, showing her that she can re-enter a relationship almost any time, whereas Marten will probably have to hear a few "No's" first before he gets a "yes".
Perhaps I am a little bitter, but it just means the comic is that good in order to draw some relation.
