Erin Stout, Seductress

[Sixcess]

I love Erin's expression in the 4th panel. Did she learn her seduction technique from Leisure Suit Larry?

(Better him than Kratos, I guess.)

 

[Hexenwolf]

Goddamnit, I was promised gags and I got this shitty storyline. What an awful webcomic, promising things and not sticking to them.

I want my money back. I'm boycotting Critical Miss. And why do I have to be always online to read this, huh? IT'S NOT EVEN MULTIPLAYER

I love you. I just wanted you to know that. Feel the love.

 

[DugMachine]

What a classy guy, better man than me that's for sure.

 

[Biodeamon]

awwww, i had mood music set up and everything...

As for "Nice guys", well i'm a nice guy but i'd still stare at the Bar Wench's cleavage.

Arr!

but also clearly a pirate, so you don't count!

Guys can do that easily.

"Hi! I've been looking at you for a few minutes and find you attractive. Mind if I enthusiastically jiggle my face between your ample bosom for a spell?"

I can't imagine how a female could be subtle when faced with something like that.

It's our cross to bear.

I think if someone said that to me I'd have to let him, simply as a reward for such creative use of the English language. It usually goes more along the lines of 'you, me, we go to car *suggestive hand gesture*'. Although my friend did maintain her dignity last Saturday when approached with the proposition 'You have big breasts, my friend has a big penis. It's perfect!' I live in Italy, and subtlety is the first thing that gets lost in translation!

 

[Ohlookit'sMatty]

Now I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt here // He may be saying no because he's not the kind of guy to sleep with a girl he just meet as he does seem generally interested in her

Note to self: Go to Puglia for your holiday.

I speak like that all the time; Mostly to confuse people, but also because I love living up to the stereotypes of English people (I have a few 'Murrrkin friends) and apparently "Foreign chicks dig posh people" - The words of a good friend of mine.

For a lot of people, being in a foreign country makes one lose one's inhibitions (Away from friends and family and all that) so I suspect that subtlety is standing right beside their parents, waving goodbye at them as they leave for the Airport.

Maybe it's just a British thing, but every person I know who was in a relationship at the time of going on holiday had much merriment at the hands of some tanned, hairless native.

A few came back with the Scurvy of the parts below deck!

I have many alter egos as I am quite good with accents and impressions. Me, myself and I are fairly nice in general unless one finds good cause to anger me (Nary a man has succeeded in this endeavour). People, including those i've just met, actually ask why I don't have a girlfriend.

 

[renegade7]

I haven't really liked Erin's character in these past few strips. I mean how long has she known this guy? A few minutes? I can't see it being any longer than a few hours, and she wants to do this guy. Classy. I would have the same reaction to her as this random guy did if I was in the same situation.

It's called 'alcohol'

Ah, you misunderstand me my friend - I'm Welsh. I live in Italy as an English language teacher. The hilariously unsubtle come-ons are from Italians, who I can assure you are still living with their Mums (until at least the age of 30 in this area)!

I agree with the holiday comment though. The amount of friends I've had to turn on the fake sympathy for after they 'accidentally' cheated on their boyfriend whilst on holiday is laughable. Lets face it: Everyone knows it doesn't count if it's in a different post code area.

I now have this image of you teaching English to some Italian children with a Ruth Jones-esque accent. It is amusing.

At least I can say with confidence that at 19 I no longer live with my Mother, and it's nice to know that even those who are stereotypically considered 'sexy' are the same as any other shut-in.

Still want to go to Puglia, if only to test out my "Creative use of the English language".

Appropriate Captcha: Live your dream.

 

[Robert0288]

I wish it was that easy.

 

[dmcc85]

i don't get it.
first of all he started the conversation, and sat on her table...
just to say "no" when he get's to score?
that makes no sense at all... except for if he is just some imaginary character, that is somewhat eather a total pussy, or an absolute gentleman.
who on earth is that guy?
when did he unlock "retarded"?

This is exactly how I do it


actually, sorry to disappoint but this is a Cardiff accent and I'm north Wales. And since North Wales is pretty much just a suburb of Liverpool I sound more like Wayne Rooney than Ruth Jones. Either way my students are highly confused, but I've managed to get them to enter the classroom by saying 'y'alright laaaaa'

OT: Thinking more about Erin's marvellously unsubtle advances, does anyone find the use of the 'v' word by women a turn-off? I don't know why, but it just sounds weird to hear (or in this case, read) it.

Well, as long as you don't look like him then it's all the same to me. Is it quite warm in Puglia this time of year?

Jokes aside, I do find some Scouser accents remarkably similar to Welsh accents (Even Cardiff and South Wales ones), Caernarfon in particular. I also now have an image of an Italian man coming home and going "Y'alright maaaaa".

To answer your question, it depends on the context. If it is an invitation, then that sort of inane language is reluctantly welcomed, as I seem unable to grasp subtlety or just deal with it in an awkward fashion. If she just wants to talk about it as if it were some sort of household pet, then I suspect most men would actually leave the conversation altogether. I would probably stand there and nod my head occasionally but, alas, no female has seen fit to talk about their lady parts to me, in any context.

 

[mike1921]

Oh...this is what I'm doing wrong. Thanks Critical Miss!

He´s turning it down because he is afraid of a rape accusation because she is drunk and does not know what she is doing.

Yes because being assaulted while you are practically unconscious is exactly the same as being a bit merry and propositioning a guy...

I get very ...excitable after I have drank wine which is why this strip resonates with me lol.

Or maybe because obviously drunk and suspiciously unsubtle women aren't a turn on for everyone.

Spoiler: Okay

Well according to many laws you cant consent while drunk and any sex without consent is rape.
So yeah......

Yeah, and according to a few laws pizza can be legally called a vegetable. That doesn't make it true.

Their is a big difference between getting a drunk person to have sex with you by asking/agreeing to sex, and making them have sex while they are unconscious.

Not saying if you go out getting people drunk with the intention to get them to have sex with you won't/shouldn't get you in trouble, but at that point unless you were very drunk too it would be a bit dumb to blame the other person.

You don't have to obey something blindly. Not even laws. As long as you use common sense, you should be able to tell right from wrong.

But that's not a legal defense you could use to keep off the sex offender registry or keep out of jail. It's not like he has a reason to trust her either

That's nothing. My flatmate is also a teacher and she's Irish. Listening to the kids repeat everything in an Irish accent cracks me up. Purrrrrple Horrrrrse

Can you hear that? It's pretty quiet.... you sure you can't hear it? It sounds like... yes, I think it is... It's the world's smallest violin playing just for you! If you ever have the misfortune to walk in on female friends talking about 'their lady parts' you might think differently!

I just think the 'v' word has a cold, almost medical feel to it. I can't imagine ever using it in a 'romantic' (read: slutty) way.

 

[RoBi3.0]

If I had to guess I would assume that he turned her down because 3 or 4 strips ago she called a meaningful tidbit from his childhood "fucking lame". She is real smooth.

 

[Jedoro]

"Hello. I'm crazy. Not like, 'Your Mom is car-AZY,' but, 'We the jury find the defendant.'

Wanna bang?"

Win

OT: Guess he didn't know just how drunk she actually was. Can't really see another reason he'd make the first move, then turn her down.

Never said it would get you out of it. Look if a person while drunk can agree to sex, be awake & aware enough to actually participate in aforementioned sex, and if they later can say that they were raped even though the other person didn't force/drug them then yeah. We should probably change that law to be a bit more specific. However, I doubt that this is really the case. If it is.......well people could just set a personal rule for themselves to not have sex with drunk people.

CRAP!! Pardon me for a bit I just saw a spelling error of mine.

Ha! I own the World's smallest Violin! I care not for your impudent attempts to mislead me.

Saying "The V Word" is similar to saying the 'p' word. It's cold and certainly clinical but preferable (In my view) to referring to it by using the 'c' word, in much the same way I wouldn't want a woman to refer to her bits as that other 'c' word. Just sounds overly dirty and far too horny. I am a scholar and a gentleman, and I will only tolerate proper employment of launguage, by jove.

Out of curiosity, how would you, as a woman, refer to it in 'romantic/slutty' conversation?
