Dating Tips for Women

Nicole sent this trifecta: The first panel is a LOL, while the second panel is one for the Ewww Files and needs to be shunted over to the Arlo Page.

    Funny …. I didn’t actually think of this as an Arlo candidate … I must be slipping

    Nicole, does your boyfriend often ask you to dress up as Lara Croft? That’s the only explanation I can think of for you not going “ewwww” at this.

    (especially if you actually LOOK like Lara Croft. But then you wouldn’t be hanging out here with us.)

    LOL — I thought everyone here knew, no my girlfriend has never asked me to dress up as Laura Croft, which is probably beter for all concerned

    And I gave the main comic an LOL .. and the extra was an EWWWWWW

    @padraig (2) “(especially if you actually LOOK like Lara Croft. But then you wouldn’t be hanging out here with us.)”

    Mais non, cheri, all the ladies here are incredibly beautiful, and all the men are as handsome and virile as it’s possible to be.

    Haven’t you been paying attention?

  5. Nicole Mar 1st 2010 at 03:18 pm 5

    Chakolate … and all the children above average ? You sound a bit like Garrison Geillor (sp ?)

    Nicole, you beat me to that by mere seconds.

  7. Nicole Mar 1st 2010 at 03:24 pm 7

    gotta be quick on the keyboard :-)

  8. Chakolate Mar 1st 2010 at 03:24 pm 8

    Dahlinks, on the web (that is, in print) we’re all beautiful. In fact, I’ve never seen you look better.

  9. Jeff S. Mar 1st 2010 at 04:21 pm 9

    Did she ever ask to have you dress up like Leia? You know the outfit I mean… ;-)

  10. padraig Mar 1st 2010 at 04:29 pm 10

    oops Nicole, sorry about the assumption… does explain your innocence in areas of male fantasy. But hey, maybe you should give the Lara Croft bit a try anyway? Might give your sig other some amusement… ;)

    Wow. For some unsettling reason, Cartoon#2 made me think of my twelve-year-old son.
    First, he’s absolutely gaga for anime (he knows more about Naruto than Alan Keyes does about being crazy); second, he’s, well, a twelve year old boy.

    Not me, I’m a dog. No one seems to know though.

    I realize Eww is subjective, but can someone explain what makes the bonus panel an Eww? I’m not seeing it. Is all masturbation an Eww? Or is it just Eww because it involves a fictional character? Would it be Eww to masturbate to a fictional character in a book (e.g. a romance novel)? Would it be less eww-ful to masturbate to a non-fictional historical figure (e.g. Eleanor Roosevelt)?

    The author doesn’t understand what Venn diagrams look like.

  15. Jeff S. Mar 1st 2010 at 10:38 pm 15

    Harold @ 14… He understands. It’s an intersection of two identical groups. All the male friends who joke with her are exactly the same members of the group of men who would have sex with her if she showed any interest. There’s no one exclusive to just one group. Same idea with the bonus panel, just the groups have changed.

  16. Kamino Neko Mar 1st 2010 at 10:51 pm 16

    All the male friends who joke with her are exactly the same members of the group of men who would have sex with her if she showed any interest.

    Also identical to her list of straight and bisexual male friends.

  17. Rainey Mar 2nd 2010 at 02:06 am 17

    Is there some sort of connection between being a heterosexual man and being addicted to sex? I wouldn’t know because I never had any interest in sex.

  18. mkilby Mar 2nd 2010 at 04:18 am 18

    It’s probably been mentioned before in other threads, but I think a link to the “Geek Hierarchy” is appropriate here: http://www.brunching.com/geekhierarchy.html (versions abound, this is just one of many).

    P.S. The link posted by waferthinmint (see 12) was ruined by Wordpress’s “smart quoting” the apostrophe. Here’s one that should be easier to use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_you%27re_a_dog

    I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, part 1: The thing is, it’s true. The co-worker who shares the dirtiest jokes with me as well as a bunch of double entendres, has also suggested he’d cheat on his wife with me.

    I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, part 2: Imagine making the assumption that Nicole doesn’t look like Lara Croft! I have always pictured her as a dishy brunette. I picture all of you as dishy brunettes, actually.

  21. Lihtox Mar 2nd 2010 at 08:32 am 21

    @Rainey: there is a connection in the imagination of popular culture, the way all black people listen to hip-hop and all women love shopping.

  22. Nicole Mar 2nd 2010 at 08:48 am 22

    Keera #20 Wow that is amazing, you nailed it right on the head. I am SOOOOO a dishy brunette …. 22 years old (you left that part out)

  23. DonBoy Mar 2nd 2010 at 11:29 am 23

    I bet that first one is wrong…surely there are men interested in having sex with you, archetypal female, who are not already your friends.

  24. Elyrest Mar 2nd 2010 at 12:22 pm 24

    Once again these comments are so much better than the comic. I too am dishy, but not a brunette. I hate shopping. I like sex. Gender stereotypes abound, but they’re often wrong. And I would love to come back in another lifetime AS my dog (tummy rubs whenever I wanted - YEAH!)

  25. Derek Mar 2nd 2010 at 12:27 pm 25

    I have to question the accuracy of the bonus panel. I’m 32.
    Ah, Princess Peach!

  26. Thomas Mar 2nd 2010 at 12:34 pm 26

    Thing is, it’s not saying all men, or even all male friends. it’s specifically taking the subset of all male friends who tell you dirty jokes, and then applying it to men who would sleep with you given the slightest chance.

  27. Elyrest Mar 2nd 2010 at 01:27 pm 27

    After thinking about this for a while I started wondering - my brothers tell me the best dirty jokes I ever hear. I’m praying that just means they just love to hear me laugh! :-D

  28. DonBoy Mar 2nd 2010 at 01:35 pm 28

    Thomas: if that’s arguing against my point, I still think I’m right. The set “Men who would have sex with you showed the slightest interest” must contain people who are not members of the set “Male friends who joke about having sex with you”. All X are Y, but not all Y are X.

  29. Keera Mar 2nd 2010 at 02:44 pm 29

    Donboy #23, are you suggesting sleeping with the enemy?

  30. DonBoy Mar 2nd 2010 at 02:56 pm 30

    Keera: Hey, the math is the math.

  31. Jeff S. Mar 2nd 2010 at 11:11 pm 31

    Keera, I’ve always pictured you as a blonde Nordic godess, complete with a Thor-like helmet and lots of leather. Don’t say anything… I’m extremely happy with my vision as it is.

  32. chuckers Mar 3rd 2010 at 04:42 am 32

    You know there *ARE* pictures of Keera on the interweb thing. You are too far off (IMHO.)

  33. chuckers Mar 3rd 2010 at 04:50 am 33

    Damn it. I meant to say you are NOT too far off.

    (I think I have Keera’s proovreeder.)

  34. Vroshnak Mar 3rd 2010 at 08:00 am 34

    In Part 1, then “Men who would” circle should be MUCH larger than the “Men who joke” circle. “Men who would” could easily encompass 60% of the even larger “Men” circle, not shown.

  35. Keera Mar 3rd 2010 at 10:57 am 35

    I think it’s my poofreader who is the leatherbound, helmeted blonde Nordic goddess in this story, the way she’s getting around.

  36. Chakolate Mar 3rd 2010 at 06:31 pm 36

    Keera, you Nordic goddess you - I don’t believe you have a ‘poofreader’.

    Although, come to think, if you do, can I borrow it?

  37. Keera Mar 4th 2010 at 01:39 am 37

    Heavens. I’m not lending my froopreader to anyone. I’ve read too many (proofread) stories about the havoc gods can wreak on the world when not kept in (spell)check.
