[Help!] The Girl I Like Won't Respond to My Emails (´･ω･`)

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 03:35:08 -0400

A tale from 2ch of girls, emails, and hamsters. (Posts from the thread-starter are labeled #OP, the people replying to him are labeled #2ch.)

#OP
There’s this girl I’ve had feelings for since high school, and now we’re in college together. We’ll call her Denko.
Once we hit second year, we went out drinking, and I worked up the courage to exchange numbers.
We started out talking often, but she hasn’t answered me in three days now.
I’m getting depressed just thinking that Denko might be sick, or that something happened to her… (´･ω･`)
Please, somebody give me some advice.

#2ch
SHE DOESN’T LIKE YOU.
GIVE IT UP.

omg for the hundredth time, Orphan Black, clones (identical twins) do not share finger prints. there prints may be similar but computer software would easily be able to differentiate between them.

Despite being called “identical twins” they DO NOT have the exact same DNA. Studies have found that they actually have hundreds of different genetic differences, which leads to the different fingerprints. Perfect clones on the other hand are supposed to be exactly the same genetically, so it isn’t crazy for them to say their finger prints are the same

It seems most of women’s hints involve intentional touching, grazing, and rubbing up against men. Start purring and the female gender essentially employs the same tactics as my cat.

Courting a girl is exactly like making friends with a cat. In the beginning you only give them non-threatening signs of affection. Don’t come on too strong, and for the love of god, don’t touch their belly.

How exactly where the two gay men stereotyped? I did not even get the gay vibe from them until half way through the show when they said they are going back to their appointment. Both seemed like typical guy friends to me. They did not talk in a stereotypical fashion, and the pictures of the two of them in their apartment is totally realistic.

In all fairness, these two characters didn’t really show up until half way through the episode (if not a little bit before) and they mentioned about going back to their apartment relatively soon after.

Also, I only recall seeing one picture of the two of them together and it looked a bit like a Glamour Shot that a family/couple might have, not like a picture that two buddies might have taken.

And though I don’t mind having this conversation, why has no one attempted to defend the weak Poe research and plot cliches? Just curious…

Maybe people are addressing this first being you had typed in your original post in full caps how they are portrayed as stereotypical and cliche. But now you are admitting that the show did not even show them together as a couple until half-way through, and that the glamor shot in their home looked of that of which a normal couple would have. How exactly are they cliche and stereotyped here? You still have not given any examples.

Have you ever considered that the info on Poe was superficial because this was the first episode.? They have to create something they can build off of, and make room to go deeper. If they gave us everything there is to offer, the theme of Poe would be over before the season even got going.

That’s not an excuse.

Here we have two gay characters portrayed in a very stereotypical fashion even though it does nothing to help the plot by them being portrayed this way.

You can’t excuse embracing a stereotype by coming back next week and going “No, it’s okay, because we were just kidding! Nobody’s really gay at all! They were just pretending! So stereotypes are okay!”

So no, that doesn’t work.

And the pilot was still terrible.

~~Also the fact that this is how you’re defending your show makes me not like your show even more! 8D~~

“Comparing illegal marijuana to legal alcohol and saying alcohol is worse is an argument to ban alcohol, not legalize marijuana. Otherwise you are still arguing for a worse system overall.”

This time Mike’s grandma died the day before they vote, and Rachel was the one who told him.

“Cats seem totally comfortable being exactly what they are, and they are totally alive to the moment, which is something we, as humans, have lost sight of, though we are trying to get back to that enlightened state.”
