By the way, the comments you see in the second panel are taken from actual Facebook comments!

the power of Social media
Exactly! They’ve made us all narcissists!
how VERY true….
I was hoping you’d be the one telling us the answer to that question, coz i ask myself that all the time
Also, the more the girl knows the guy the less acceptable it becomes, why is that?
Youssef, if I knew the answer to that question, I would have been a millionaire! Also the answer to your second question, easy. He’s been friend zoned!
(Y) hahah good one !
Yay! Glad you like it
I also see creepy messages when woman go from in a relationship to single.
Honestly, I don’t know why people even bother to put the relationship status. Shouldn’t it be a private thing?
So true!
More creepy messages are when the same messages are being written by girls
So very true….
I think one possible reason why the first is more “creepy” than the second is the possibility of physical harm: The present danger of harassment or even rape.
Although both are driven by the same sentiments (outspoken, not-too-hidden lust), the second is more accepted socially because the woman is shielded from the potential physical manifestation of that lust.
Ah but you missed the point. My point was that in the second one, she WANTS the attention. Also, it’s a comic, so it’s supposed to be a little exaggerated
*snif* .. none of my “friends” tell me nice things when I put half naked pictures of myself on Facebook.. not fair !
Start by posting some here
Wouldn’t want to overshadow Sareen’s work now would I ..
It’s all in the perspective, I guess. Very well written, Sareen!
Thanks a lot Mark! I guess so too..
Haha perfect
Thanks Sarine!
My guess: The first way is creepy simply because it’s said in a moment and then lost; the second way is written, so it may be seen by everyone (especially by EXs and friends, so causing her to feel more powerful.
Not only powerful but popular, right?
nice one so true …
So funny! Her butt in the first caption is hilarious.
HAHAHAHA now this is the funniest comment on the comic
This is creepy either way I say!
LOL VERY TRUE! Thanks for commenting Jenn!
LOL exactly! Thanks for commenting Jenn!
very nice!! keep it up.. ferry brofissional
Thanks ahmad! You haven’t been commenting a lot lately
hahaha true
Although tis a bit creepy for the right too.
I think cz when one puts up a picture, one is waiting for comments. But when one is walking down the street, one is not waiting for comments? I just confused myself, but you know what I mean?
You’re right, although the creepy comments on the pic is weird..no?
well thats what facebook is all about … stupid people being stupid.
It’s creepy only when the girl can actually see their facial expressions (and doesn’t find them attractive)…
Online, her imagination makes all the difference:
Guy 1: Comment + Friendly face + innocent eyes
Guy 2: Comment + Playful smile + wink
Guy 3: Comment + Manly chin + gorgeous eyes + 6-packs abs + perfect ass (since she can’t even remember his face anymore & his profile pic is the latest jet fighter plane)
Oh and btw, here’s how her comment was read (and seen) by those guys:
Guy 1: Her comment + Shy smile + head tilted downward + eyes looking up + fiddling her hair
Guy 2: Her comment + Seductive smile + looking over her shoulder + her long hair partially covering her back revealed in an open-back short black dress
Guy 3: I’m sure she meant me! (After all why did she choose to reply right after my comment?). And to think all it took was for me to smile at her once in a cab, God I’m gorgeous…
Sareen, you were my biggest surprise at Tedx Beirut this year. Okay, I admit it you were my only surprise actually
You’re a natural comedian and comics is where you shine the most (for now)…
Your comics show you’re a heck of a sitcom writer as well!
Keep it up gurl
Btw, I believe u now have enough hints to guess who I am
well the answer is pretty simple, women want to feel sexy and attractive, but they don’t want men they aren’t attracted to drooling over them. you see the same stuff in highschool (i have 3 sisters, i noticed this with both of my younger ones). on the net people are faceless entities, not real people, therefore stating you find them sexy doesn’t infer (somehow) that you are drooling over them, or that you are some unattractive individual (even if you are). also you are stating that at a picture of them, not themselves (a disconnect), if a woman had a picture of herself in a bikini in her house while a party was going on and someone said those things to the picture it would be better (you still have the physical presence, and thus looks).
that whole what a woman finds acceptable and when is a strange subject that predates social media, just look at major sexual harassment cases in america since its inception (not saying that the law is wrong, just that it highlights weird stuff with ‘woman’s’ perception of acceptable prior to social media).
