Eye protocol

Because she's ugly?

Young, nice skin, pretty eyes, nice hair...works for me.

Of course I bet you look like a fitness model.

  She is in no way a "butter face".  I agree she's the least hot one there, but that's not saying a whole lot.

It's her shirt & position. If she was facing the camera, the conversation would be different.

It's an optimization problem I think.  Our protagonist wants to maximize the chances of the female in question making the first move without falling into the time-consuming dating trap.

Success! For example, girl in another of my classes did the initiating a few weeks ago. We caught each others' eyes, and she added me on Facebook. With that go-ahead, I started engaging her without fear that she might think I was coming on to her. She sent me a message tonight asking for me to come over and help with her work. I said it was too late, but I would drop by tomorrow since it was "on my way". I believe that we are mutually looking for friendship (Facebook says she is in a relationship  ), but now I secured a female companion who happens to be Latina. I have been meaning to connect with the small, but vibrant Hispanic community at my university, so this was the ideal eye-ing situation. Very minimal effort and risk on my part.

I'd dunk her head in the toilet.

Yes all of the text of P's post. "we are mutually looking for friendship"

Totally irrelevant point, just because one cannot afford a Ferrari does not make a Lada a good car.

It's perfectly relevant.

But does that mean you regard everything short of a Ferrari as a shitty car?  Because if you cannot afford one that seems like condemning yourself to be miserable your whole life.

Yup, that's "internet standards" in a nutshell.

Better to base your standards on what is actually available in real life.
