Just have to remember that he just doesn’t know who he’s dealing with…. he just thinks he is offering practical advice, not yanking the tail of a cosmic tiger 😉
Psychology is NOT a good way to pick up chicks. Being a Psych student? Yes. Actually using that hard-earned knowledge to psychoanalyze them? Not so much.
Isn’t he? Put it this way; if this weren’t in a bar, and you assumed he wasn’t trying to pick her up, would his approach seem so unwise?
Now, consider that this IS in a bar. Where people go to loosen up. Where, sometimes, people will listen to things that they would ordinarily slap you and walk away for…
I can’t help imagining him saying the same thing to Bud. “It is totally your fault that you were kidnapped by power mad priests who starved, tortured, and raped you.”
Certainly we should take some responsibility for our lives, but we can’t take responsibility for the actions of others-we shouldn’t, to do so is to take responsibility for something we can’t control.
Authority and responsibility should be equal, you can control yourself, so you are responsible for yourself. You are not able to control other people in most cases, so you are not responsible for them.
All you can do is get away from bad people, and even then it is not always possible-and not just in the kidnapped by evil priests situation. Maybe you have a job at a diner and some creepy guy starts eating there every day and hitting on you. Do you quit your job to get away from him?
I doubt he would if he new the facts, but all he sees is a woman making a gross-generalzation of the opposite gender and he calls her on it; basically, he thinks she’s blaming all men for her own poor choices and is calling Shenanigans.
My choices have almost nothing to do with what people I have in my life. There’s my cousin, my brother and basically no one else. They’re who got left with my condition preventing me from basically ever meeting people and from getting to know the ones I meet and holding on to the ones I get to know. But keep talking about how I should just know who, out of the 110 000 people within walking distance I might meet, would be the most healthy for me to be around.
XD I love how Jin’s anger just keeps escalating. Her face in the last panel is great.
Dude, if I was you, I’d stop while I’m ahead.

No no, the phrase is”Quit while you’ve a head”
I wouldn’t say that. I’d say, “He needs to quit now that he’s behind.” Although yours is good, too.
Sometimes people like Jin need to be told they’re wrong.

Speaking of not making healthy choices…
Buddy you are NOT helping!!

Trying to figure out if he’s running a ‘neg’ game, or is just THAT spergery.
If a woman with those eyes and those teeth were yelling at me, I’d quietly pay my tab and make my getaway.
Then you’ve got the problem of her smelling blood and fear, and at that point, it’s all over… for him.
So, he has no place to turn, so might as well just keep on going.
