- Ye Thuza: Say something romantic.
- David: Uhhh…
- David: Your perfect waist-to-hip ratio signals health and high fertility.
- Ye Thuza: Never ask a biologist to say something romantic.
- David: And the luminosity of your eyes is two standard deviations above the mean.

The one time I made the “hip to waist ratio” comment in my biology class their unanimous answer of the ladies was “Are you impliyng that we’re fat?”
Also, I love how the passion for FF made an american biologist marry a burmese rebel fighter 🙂
“Birds of a feather flock together” they said.
Your ad lib skills need improvement, David.
Ye Thuza’s face transition from panels 2 to 3… XD
For some strange reason, I expected David to say something that was more related to video games rather than biology.
Ye Thuza’s face in the first panel made me blush.
hahahaha it reminds me of my ex, who was very socially awkward, and whenever he tried to complement me it became something like:
Him: you’re really pretty
me: thank you ^^
him: you know, for a average person. Not that you’re average. You’re deffinetly more than average. I’m not saying you’re bad. I’m saying you’re great. you know.
me: …..?
him: you’re pretty
me: *facepalm*
AAAHAHAHAHAAAAA THIS IS HILARIOUS! And her face in the first panel looks kinda weird, but the third and fourth panels are just priceless.
Perhaps he should let their bodies do the talking, and let his detailed knowledge of anatomy speak for itself. >:=)>
Now that I think about it, my GF sits JUST LIKE THAT when she plays games, even in a rocker! It kinda drives me nuts because it makes her look like she barely knows what she’s doing, but I live with it. XD

But…But he’s a Biologist! He’s married and had kids! He’s got so many motherly words to woo her! What is this i don’t even!
D’aw!
He said, she has a great body and her eyes sparkle. How sweet!
Why doesn’t she apreciate it?
Maybe she wants to hear something about her gaming skills?

Let’s hope when the time comes for Cloud to answer Sandra’s similiar questions he’s a bit smoother with his replies than his dad.
‘Two standard deviations above the average’?
If you tend to use the term ‘standard deviation’ you would most likely use it along the term ‘mean’ and not ‘average’,
Anyhow, her eyes are brighter than 97.5% of the population you compare her against. Good to be her.
Is it me or David’s hairdo is kinda reminiscent of Izuru Kira’s from Bleach?
Reminds me a lot of this Xkcd comic.
I’m not sure which is funnier.
Hey, he could have just answered “Something romantic.” At least the dude tried!
@ Leomon:
“If I had to choose between you and Tifa, I’d pick you.”
Don’t fret Ye Thuza, he’s a biologist. At least he knew well how to make you “Scream in bed” if you know what I mean.
Proof? those two bundles of problems that running around in your house is a good enough proof.
@ Cinnamoon:
Sometimes you can’t expect who will be your true love is. It also reminds me that I keep falling toward women who later I found out to be married X(
me and my bad luck.
@ Petah-Petah:
David: “If we’re RPG characters I will always put you in my team.”
Ye Thuza: “Wait, are you comparing me with Aerith?”
@ Queenie Capria:
Aww poor guy, at least he’s sincere.

Those two bundles of problems running around the house are proof of -nothing- but fertility. 🙂

God help the both of them if he was a Proctologist instead! If he made a compliment like that, he would just come off as an ass! =P
@ illeatyourself:
Personally i think it helps to keep the back straighter, allowing a longer game-time. ^-^
….Pfffft! Oh gods! These two never fail to be lulzy! XD
At first I read waist to HP. 😛
Women love to put you on the spot, don’t they?
Wait, only 2 standard deviations above the average? C’mon man, if you’re supposed to be romantic, it should be three standard deviations above! And as long as we’re talking luminosity, you should say something like “you’re eyes sparkle with a lumen output only comparable to the lumen output of my bright love for you”. That’s how you be romantic, David!
Well, we physicists are worse 😉
WTF DAVID!!!?!?!?! YOU ARE PLAYING VIDEO GAME WITH YOUR WIFE!!!
say something like: “You can Call me mario, cuz you are a princess!!!”
………thaaaaat’s…not soooo bad…..there are worse ones…..
Thus PERSPECTIVE!
To paraphrase Randall Munroe, the trouble with scientists is not that they take the beauty out of everything, but that they find beauty in everything.
You would think he could have found a better line from a video game, but then I remembered the love dialogue in Final Fantasy VIII (not that VII was much better) and figure this may have been the lesser of two weasels.
Hey, she knew what she was getting when she married a geek. That’s the whole reason why she married him! 😀
Here’s another one.
“The way you fraged that guy was so sexy, baby! Did you see the way his head came apart?”
“Maybe asking him while playing Dishonoured was a bad idea….”
“And your knife weilding skills just pwn.”
Some of these gaming related dialogs here are very funny, but you can do just one joke in the actual comic and I stuck with my initial idea.
Now, the important question is: what’re they playing??
@ Jowen:
I don’t believe anyone said the distribution was normal.
This being Ye Thuza, I have to wonder whether she would have preferred him saying: “Your beauty is such that I would butcher a thousand of your enemies with my bare hands, just to be allowed to kiss one of yours.”
You’re asking for something romantic from a biologist.
I’m sure he has plenty to “say” on the matter 😉
Oh, hey, I sit like that in chairs too.
Keep trying, David. XD
@ Maiorem:
Why am I not surprised that someone could find a relevant Asimov quote?
kyaaa
@ Queenie Capria:
Lol, I’m not that awkward but that is definitely something I would say on purpose just to get my girlfriend to facepalm herself xD
lol, anyway I like the base line :] “you have a great body and bright eyes” and if you pay attention than you can tell from his face that he’s doing this on purpose to bug her, exactly the kind of thing I do with my girlfriend ^^
Well . . . for a biologist it’s very romantic . . . his words come from the heart . . . he means every word . . . besides, sometimes it’s not what is said, it’s how it’s said . . . c’mon Ye Thuza, snuggle up to him and ask for more! Also, wonder if we could get a flashback as to how they met . . .
And yet I bet he could come up with the one true right answer to the question…”does this make my butt look big?”
Could have been worse.
I did Palaeobiology at Uni… and had somewhat of a fascination with behavioural evolution.
I used to get told I wasn’t very romantic… but then the very topic of romance usually let to my wondering what sort of selective pressure could possibly lead to the prevalence of such a concept, and contemplate the relative advantages and costs of basing mating habits on what appears to be arbitrary displays of pointless extravagance.
.
She didn’t appreciate it.
For what it is worth, I didn’t much appreciate her lack of appreciation either. It is a fascinating subject.
As a student of Psychology who regularly uses statistical tests to analyse a variety of data…
Take the standard deviation line as a compliment woman! Do you know how few people get to be two standard deviations away from the mean of any given sample/population? Damn few!
…
Statistics ruin your life…
Better than I’d do. I get put on the spot, and I say stupid shit like “Uuuuuuhhhh… nice tits…”
