It will suck when the old wizard gets tired of being a frog and realizes he doesn't have the limbs to turn himself back into a human.

Yeah, this comic could reflect the feelings of women who were unlucky enough to meet such outrageously bad people, or at least have the fear of meeting such a person.

But to say that this is the rule is, I feel, a stretch.

I can't relate at all either from personal experience. My concern when reading something that I cannot relate to is that what I'm reading could have been astroturfed. We are in a pseudonymous discussion forum where anyone can LARP as anything and make shit up. It's not a stretch to say that this vulnerability could be used to further agendas through manipulation in an organized manner.

There are a few ways to verify what people are saying, that I know of. One is to use established studies, and another one is to use anecdotes. But if all I have is hearsay from some internet account, then I can't take it as truthful until I have something that can verify it. It doesn't mean I will discard what people say, or not take them seriously, but I will exercise caution.

Anyway, upon further reflection on what people have said, I am inclined to take the concerns that OP (and others here) express more seriously. It's wrong to say that these people can never exist, and I would not like to invalidate the fears that some women have for such people. I simply reacted based on my own anecdotal experience, but other people can be more unlucky than I, and may develop said fears.

I think @Kusimulkku expressed what I wanted to say better than I did. Yeah, calling you a schmuck was unnecessary. Sorry if that offended you, no really.

That's absolutely disgusting behavior. Maybe I've been lucky with the people around me.

I understand what you are saying, and I don't want to invalidate your concerns. I can see now that this comic resonates with women more than it would with a man.

I don't have to be a woman to know that men generally don't respond like that. This is silly.

I've never seen a man respond like that to being rejected, ever.

lol @ the schmucks feeling threatened by men giving their opinions or feel the need to preemptively post personal attacks.

Lmao!

Girl: Sorry, but I'm not interested.

Guy: Stupid fat bitch slut!

Who responds like that?

Edit: Removed unnecessary statement.

That feel when you slip and somehow end up near a hill

It's good that you make that known. I hope that you find a good alternative.

Personally, I'm also jumping out if common sense gets too censored around here.
