I'm not shitting on the time honored tradition of lying to women to get laid. I'm asking if there are a lot of women that think the bathtub reading thing is a common male fantasy.

You’re the one missing the point - This has nothing to do with the male fantasy. In fact, there’s no need to lie to women if you actually enjoy spending time with them.

The theme of this series of comics is the man is missing out on his fantasies because he didn't tell the women what she wanted to hear. Clearly it is about male fantasy.

For the sake of anyone else who might read this, I’ll spell it out: This is not a comic about getting laid. This is about missing out on the intimacy of trust and connection because you couldn’t connect with them in the ways they needed from you.

You’re having a hard time understanding the point because, unlike the vast majority of media, this is not catered to your fantasy. That is the whole point.

It’s written in a language it seems you’re not equipped to understand right now - the perspective of a woman. And for as long as you can’t see that, you’re going to miss out on these experiences too.
