Re: 2016-01-08 But no peeking now
The problem was the "no worries there"... I would've said something like "ok, but you're asking me a lot" or "why would i peek? because a hot naked girl is changing?" or something like that... she receives the message that "i want to see you naked but i respect you", what Alex said is basically "i have not the slightest interest in seeing you naked"...
That's what i do... i drink and i know things...

Alex is another geeky teen; asking for witty, deft flirtation from him on the spur of the moment is a bit optimistic. Marie is getting polite, which is probably as much as she can hope for.

That's why i said that if it was me. But you're right, she's getting polite because Alex doesn't see her that way, if he had the hots for Marie like he has for Sandra, he would've blushed, stuttered or said the wrong thing (maybe all 3 at once).Spidrift wrote:Alex is another geeky teen; asking for witty, deft flirtation from him on the spur of the moment is a bit optimistic.

Ah women. You keep wanting us men to be civil and polite, the perfect gentlemen, instead of turning every situation into sexual opportunitism and general dickery...
Except when you don't.

Re: 2016-01-08 But no peeking now
The trick is to convey that you'd sink to sexual opportunism in a heartbeat, except that you respect them too much.
Which should of course often be true, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Why did he offer to just turn around... why not just leave the room? He must of been standing there for a couple minutes while she got clothes and put them on.
The concept of rooms are so confusing. What are they to them? Why do they only have 3 walls? Why does this 4th wall go out to nowhere, and why can they not look directly at it? Is the door merely a conceptualization of the perception of privacy, or does privacy hold no true meaning to one without a 4th wall? Do MA3 characters dream of electric doors, and if they do... do they lock?
These are things I do not know. What I do know is that with this much barging into rooms, Alex has most likely seen Marie naked already. The probably of this not happening already are 2^276709 to 1.

… and then Ingrid jumped out of the closet, grabbed Alex and said "Yu can look at me, sweetie. I am experimenting!!!"

...and manifests that standard male grumble. Though I think Dave, like any sensible adult man, knows perfectly well what the answer is.

I'm finding it way easier to identify with Alex in a way Gary never managed.

Burned with rage, Marie may finally realize that she needs to raise the stakes to ensure Alex starts seeing her as a fine, healthy, and horny beautiful woman. It all leads to Marie finally contacting Zoe, about accepting her offer and becoming her protege in modeling.Abraxas wrote:BlairFan wrote:… and then Ingrid jumped out of the closet, grabbed Alex and said "Yu can look at me, sweetie.

I know we all overlooked the IP joke, but I think it's a joke kn Rule 34. I.P. stands for "Internet Protocol", does it not? Protocol is just another term for a set of rules. Like the rules of the Internet. Marie's comment parodies the usual outcome of rule 34.

Re: 2016-01-08 But no peeking now
No, I'm sure that in this case, IP stands for "intellectual property". Marie is a games geek who blogs about the business, rather than a hacker, so she'll be moderately familiar with discussions of intellectual property rights, whereas she'll see internet protocols as a means to an end, and ideally something that should remain invisible. She's thinking of her own bod here as something akin to Super Mario or whatever -- a unique thing under (her) monopoly control, which should be of interest to Alex.
