>>112663152ironically, seeing romantic relationships as comparable to "transactions" is probably why he has trouble in the first place. assuming the green dude is like an author mouthpiece, he outs himself so hard that the comic is borderline poetic.
money is like chuckie cheese tickets, if you walk into chuckie cheese with a backpack full of tickets you have an advantage over the rest of the people there.
At the same time those tickets came from somewhere. but the fact of the matter is you have an obscene amount of tickets while others are starting with nothing. you could clean out the prize counter at any point. you do have an advantage, either earned or unearned. this is a banal statement to make, "rich people can buy things."
relationships are not a transaction, if you view them that way you might as well stick to fleshlights.
relationships are an emotional and mental bond nutured between souls. also some souls fucking suck and don't deserve your time anyway.
don't date people who treat you like a vending machine, don't treat the people you date like a vending machine either.
there are other types of relationships than just romantic. people can reach each other in thousands of small but meaningful ways. i like seeing what you people think of things and shitpost about for example. you've made me laugh, /co/. you've shared stories I never would have known about or given a second look. you've all brought me happiness.
if this comic isn't itself some kind of hyper meta bait, then this guy needs to open his heart to
the love in the world around him and find things that bring him happiness and self-worth, he needs to respect himself and others, and then he might have an easier time getting a date despite being a hideous green muppet. admit it, you would date oscar the grouch over this moldy used condom and oscar probably eats those for breakfast unironically. oscar has personality and self worth and passion not contingent on having a gf or not.
