Surely we can do better.: You Need To Get Laid

I'm voting no pic.

EDIT: Could we do something with this Loserz strip?

How's this?

I definitely like that last one.

I'm good with it.

Doesn't illustrate the trope at all. They're try to get laid and failing.

The trope is "Responding to a person who is tense, stressed, ill-tempered, or uptight by telling that they need to have sex. Can be somewhat patronizing due to the implication that whatever's bothering the person is just because of their hormones."

It is not about the behavior that leads to such a response. It is about the response. It is not about the person being told "You need to get laid" It is about the telling.

I don't mind the current pic; I saw it as a slanted perspective of the picture from his psych profile or something.

Code Monkeys had a psychologist's self-assessment saying she needed to get laid, but the style of the show may make it not readily apparent.

How about some panels from Buck Godot? These take the medical angle that certain people are too stressed out to think properly, with the obvious solution.

(edit) and yeah, I agree with Maddy that the Loserz strip is not actually an example of this trope (although it would work fine on Nerds Are Virgins).

I dunno, the current pic on that page is pretty good and the source comic gave me a good laugh.

The Buck Godot comics are good examples, but cropping could be problematic, especially with the second one.

I liked the one with two panels and three guys. (I have no idea what comic it came from.)

Three day clock set.

Scratch what I said earlier. I'd support the image with the Frog Sperm.

I do, however, still find it gross and almost painful to look at.

BTW:

Motion to pull the current image.

So, this is about the telling and not the behavior? The only answer that I can think of is to have somebody point at the camera with a caption like, "Did you just spend all day surfing tvtropes?"

Okay, it wouldn't work very well, but I got a laugh out of the idea.

Seconding the pull.

Clock extended since it's moving again.

Support.

Pulled.

The clock's up; locking for lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
