Would you date a telepath? (Comicstrip)

[dragonmp93]

I wouldn't want to be ever close to a telepath, period.

I mean, even if she's somebody you wholly trust, how can you be sure that trust is natural, and not a compulsion implanted by that telepath? Even if I don't remember that telepath ever doing anything disrespectful or dishonest with her power, how can you trust you memories?

Merely being around a telepath would destroy your sense of self at its fundations. Are you really you, or a creation of somebody else?

That's the reason I find either unbelievable or creepy how the X-Men accept having telepaths messing with their heads all the time, and the reactions of the telepaths when they react as if protecting your mind were a personal offense against their right to peek into you thoughts and manipulate your mind.

I find it unbelievable because anybody normal would feel uncomfortable about the issue, and even if the X-Men have been thoroughly trained by their mentor to accept that, they all have had their trust betrayed by their fellow telepaths (Xavier erasing Vulcan and the others from the X-Men memories, manipulating their loved ones' minds so they would forget about the school/accept their children going there, Emma violating Jean and Storm during her villainous stage...etc.).

I find creepy because the unfortunate implication is that the non-telepath X-Men have been conditioned by their telepath teammates so they don't care the constant mental intrusion.

And the reaction of the telepaths when they find somebody is shielding their mind is cringe-worthy: "If you weren't planning something heinous you wouldn't protect you mind against intrusions and manipulations!".

Well, i think that its because basically all the telepaths, except for the Professor X who is a father figure, are hot chicks who are into kinky things.
And like i said, i wouldnt mind at all if we are talking about Emma or Jean.

If you are into BDSM, telepathic mind-control might be a turn on.

Ah! But, are they really kinky chicks, or are they stinky old fat hairy sweaty men who use their powers to make you believe that they are hot chicks and make you touch their man-boobs?

What if Jean/Emma/Psylocke's true identity is this?

No sorry. Too many nasty thoughts running through my head

[Wedge Antilles]

I would. She wouldn't have to "convince" me at all.

Disadvantage to dating a telepath no privacy, possibility of mind control. Advantage ultimate intimacy.

wwtcomics.com/comic20/ Did this strip inspired by the relationship between Scott and Jean. I don't think I would be able to be with a telepath myself, as I would not like the lack of privacy, or the fact that she could control my mind whenever she wanted. Which brings me to the question, would you date a telepath?

LOL, very good tonywwt.

If she was hot enough...

Depending on the telepathy, telepaths are so used to see/hear what is in other peoples heads that it really doesn't bother them that much. Perhaps it is part of the reason they might actually like someone. Also, there is no beating around the bush with them and problems can be solved instead of letting them drag on and on and on until the damage is too great.

Would I date? I don't know, I never met one, also it would depend much on the telepath. I may love Emma as a character, but I am inclined to think that I would her... irritating... if I knew her in person. However, it doesn't mean that I wouldn't try to befriend her (I like to believe that Emma genuinely cares about people, she is "just" very abrasive) as I know from experience that the best friends are not necessarily the simplest to handle or comfortable ones. It's those that come through for you when you have some kind of trouble, the ones that you come through for when they are in trouble. Once befriended though, who knows what happens.
