Within a fictional setting, two people having the same name creates the logistical problem of needing to tag one of them as ‘Other (Name)’. Joe is simply displaying fourth wall awareness.
Rachel seems nice. I wonder what she had to say in response to a simple “hi” that was both cheerful and lasted three panels of Joe staring unresponsively?
It’s not that Joe’s shallow, it’s that he’s afraid of women who have depth.

Oh, Joe. You are aware that there’s more than one woman named Rachel in Denver, and indeed the world, right?
Or has Joe somehow banged more than 3,600 women and never encountered two with the same first name before?
it was exactly 2030
prob one or two were Rachael or Raychell
Or Raichu. The sparks were really flying that day!Within a fictional setting, two people having the same name creates the logistical problem of needing to tag one of them as ‘Other (Name)’. Joe is simply displaying fourth wall awareness.
Come to think of it, I have actually only met two Rachels in my entire life.
I’ve met 0. Funny how wildly name statistics differ when it comes to individual experience.
I guess Joe just assumed the Rachel he was talking with online was someone who works at SEMMF.
All of the Rachels Joe knew before were familiar with “A Study in Scarlet” and told him the morning after that their name is ‘Rache’.
Honestly I’m just confused over why Joe cares about what someone will look like when there 45, he doesn’t seem the type to think that far ahead.
Which is a huge clue how far outside his usual wheelhouse this online romance is.
The word wasn’t “thicc” back then.
Joe, if you extrapolate far enough into the future, any potential partner’s going to end up ugly. Don’t bank on future hotness.
Or present hotness for that matter, if you’re looking for an actual relationship.
This one really upset me when I first read it, haha.
