EXCUUUUUUUUUUUSE MOI!
Straight men can be sensitive, loving, caring and gentle. I should know. It’s the woman’s fault if she can’t appreciate what they do.
If straight men who are sensitive are constantly bullied by brutes like the ones who view this comic, then there is no hope for humanity.
I should know. I’m straight and yet I’m sensitive, loving, caring and gentle. Sadly, I’m also autistic, so I can’t find love no matter what I do.

A great philosopher once said, “Having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting.” If Trey suddenly transformed into her ideal husband, she may find her attraction to him waning. She chose him for a reason, right?
@Ishikawa Goemon – while you have a good point about some women, you also used a gross generalization of the men who view this comic. Also, calling yourself out as an autistic is a feeble attempt to shield yourself from future criticism for your comment. For someone who uses the nom de plume “Ishikawa Goemon”, you seem a bit whiny. What would either your historical namesake and the manga/anime namesake think?

I’ve found that the more mature a woman gets the more she is likely to appreciate the kind of man I am
If our culture did not expect it, there would be no “typical man” younger woman to “think” that they want
Most, but not all women eventually grow up enough to realize what it is they really want in a man
Some men even grow up

The problem is I do have autism. A mild form, but it’s there nevertheless. It took psychology classes in high school and college to even make me able to diagnose myself. I used the gross generalization of men who read this comic based on the overwhelming amount of misogynistic comments I have read on this comic before. I know it’s limited data, but that was my case.
My historical namesake was as cynical as myself. He set himself up as basically the medieval equivalent of a gangsta rapper. I chose this name because I wanted a recognizably Japanese name of a tragic hero. And I don’t mean the one from Lupin XIII. (I’m a major fan of Tomoko Nikomaya, Rumiko Takahashi and Takeshi Hashiguchi, so I don’t care for pulp like that)

However macho male homosexuals are worse than the normal straight man. Far worse.

I know the feeling, I’m (probably) schizotypal and I have the same problem. Too “weird” or just can’t communicate well enough to make a friend much less any closer emotionally.

I agree. I have three sons and they are all sensitive, caring, and gentle with their girlfriends. Besides, Trey is really a pretty good guy!

Of course the deeper point of this comic just might be that both Trey and Maria are wrong-headed about this issue. They’re almost always wrong-headed about every other issue, so why should they be right about this one?
