Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Just avoid behavior that is associated with predatory types. Imagine a spectrum with one extreme being "I couldn't care less" and the other being "I'm going to chase you". Choose the center. Civil and slightly friendly but not let's-be-friends friendly. Like a coworker you don't know and who works in a different department but you see each other sometimes. Be friendly enough to not make things awkward if you meet again. The rest is up to the woman.
Tbh I'll prob just stick with my tried and true awkward white guy smile-nod. There's people that have been working in shipping for months I've never even spoken to (oddly though they're all guys, the women talk a lot and they're mostly funny.)
That nod is a male thing, it doesn't work with women. Women smile instead - which gets misinterpreted by men.
Oh well, still not going to talk to people.
And if they approach you?
Assume they're not interested and are just being nice of course.
Correct.
It is a great way to meet people, I will say. I met one last October once!
Don't. People bad!
It do be seemin' like it lol.
I'm not kinkshaming...
