Somewhere—I think it was from a novel I read back in 1980 or so—there was a description of this club, which had a recipe for preparing a steak so they could test their theory that “if a man don’t know horses–t, he don’t know nothing.” Regretfully the recipe was not provided.
The only way Nick would be less attractive to Virginia would be to act deeply out of character, and I imagine he very much would rather not. Probably best if he just leaves for a while – magnetism is proximity based, after all.
I suspect that Virginia wrote out the plans for the last weather machine when she was obsessing about a problem while she was heavily sleep-deprived. Now she just keeps thinking about Nick. And she can’t put that down on paper.
Insecure people don’t absorb praise very well, even when it’s true or well deserved.
And even if Nick did manage to, Tip is still literally an egotistical narcissist. It’s like saying a bit more ice cream and Nick’s weight wil rival a whale’s. Not even close.
Nick has seen himself through Ginny’s eyes and no longer feels self-loathing, but he’ll never be a narcissist…
Tip: “I’ve lost count of how many women I’ve been with!”
Nick: “To each his own, Wilkin. I’ve got True Love.”
Tip: *Sigh*
If she feels that way about Nick, I wonder if she goes ’round warning others not to hit on him, since the others must find him as attractive as she does…
When you’re secure in your partner’s loyalty, such thoughts often never even enter your head, and even if they do they seem laughable.
Who cares if other people are attracted to Nick, or even if Nick is attracted to other people, if you know that Nick is genuine in his feeling and faithful?
It’s a matter of trust. She doesn’t distrust Nick, and so she has no reason to be suspicious of other people finding him attractive. If anything, it probably seems like pleasant validation of her own feelings, and praise of Nick for being attractive.
Virginia kept Tip’s attention WHILE enticing Artie to switch teams for a weekend. I don’t think that she’s going to be insecure about Nick remaining faithful.
Okay, lukewarm ditch water and brussel sprouts?
I don’t think it would matter what he brings her. The real distraction is simply his being in the same room.
Candy coated brussel sprouts. On a stick. Mmmm!

It’s probably just as well that the recipe was not provided. I don’t like the sound of that steak.
Remembered the name of the novel. “The Wanting of Levine,” Michael Halberstam. Political novel about the first serious Jewish candidate for president.
Pour the hot espresso over the marshmallows, add a few chocolate chips, give it time to melt a bit, then toss it back in one go. Yummmmmmmmmm!
I was thinking that too.

D. Walker: I’ve noticed THAT. It’s an insoluble situation, unless they invoke
solitude…..or ‘something’ like it.
Intense sexual magnetism? No…still not seeing it…
You don’t need to. Only she does.
Lovelace agrees with Ginny.
I agree with them both.
In the words of a recent Oglaf strip, he has “an earthy sincerity I enjoy”.
These two dorks.
Is that a screwdriver in her ear, or is she just happy to see him?
Yes.
Strictly speaking it’s a screwdriver -over- her ear. In her ear would be a bit more troubling, methinks
A bit more of this and Nick’s ego will rival Tip’s. Maybe he should vacate the area for a while.

So that’s why tip asks people not to hit on him
He does?
Tip does seem to be the love of Tip’s life. Except maybe when Tigerlily Jones is around.
