[2011-Dec-27] Hey, this comic was good! Let's talk about it!
http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db ... 2474#comic
12/28s was so bad, that it makes this comic sooo goood. Let's just assume it is still 12/27.
BTW, anyone know of any journal the character could have actually wrote to? Would People Magazine count? I bet you could argue that People Magazine is a Sociology journal that focuses on attractive people, "like you, baby." I wonder how much you would have to pay Popular Science to run that? I bet you could have it in there as a 1 page ad, then she would HAVE to believe it is legitimate!
It is too bad sympathy didn't work. I thought getting girls by being emotionally wounded was a decent strategy, like with Nightingale syndrome, where nurses fall in love with their patients, or being emo, like that guy in "Hunchback of Notre Dame" (Disney version). I mean, come on, do you really think Lorraine would have had sex with George McFly if he wasn't at his utter most pathetic state?
...Stupid Friend Zone!

Effective or not, emotionally manipulating people to get them to sleep with you is really creepy. Also the whole friend zone thing is really creepy. Also Quasimodo didn't get the girl in Hunchback of Notre Dame. She ended up with Phoebus and he was happy for her like a decent human being.

I would not be too upset if I never heard the words "friend zone" again.
Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

I want to remind everyone that both studies that found that red wine is good for your health were funded by the French wine industry, and no other studies ever found that any alcohol is good for you.
Also, the guy in the comic is pathetic.

what about all those people who get old and say that they drank red wine all the time?
Their anecdotes are evidence enough.

Exactly! As the saying goes, "the plural of anecdote is metastudy".Pitch Hitter wrote:what about all those people who get old and say that they drank red wine all the time?

What you call emotional manipulation, I call love.smiley_cow wrote: Effective or not, emotionally manipulating people to get them to sleep with you is really creepy.
Seriously, though, call my cynical, but isn't emotional manipulation a large part of love and other relationships? Granted it isn't usually concious or the like.

I think there's a definite line. You're talking subtle manipulations that people probably do subconsciously every day. I'm personally thinking about all the various "strategies" I've heard guys talk about where they consciously manipulate women to have sex with them, usually for a one night stand while implying otherwise. Often through guilt, pity, or through being able to pinpoint the more emotionally vulnerable women in a room. There's a big difference between trying to get a girl to laugh because you know that will help endear you to her and purposely and subtly getting her to a certain level of drunk that she's less likely to say no to sex.*

In the Disney version, yes. It ends slightly differently in Victor Hugo's original novel.smiley_cow wrote:Quintushalls wrote:Also Quasimodo didn't get the girl in Hunchback of Notre Dame. She ended up with Phoebus and he was happy for her like a decent human being.

Yes, I'm pretty sure they were talking about the Disney version.

Don't drink and drive, take LSD and Teleport.
