" Oh and FYI, if anyone ever says "It wasn't technically cheating"... it was cheating. " -> This is only true for the more orthodox kinds of relationships. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.229.29|108.162.229.29]] 02:07, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 
Agreed. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.29|108.162.216.29]] 19:40, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 
 
:The point they're trying to make - and the joke in the comic - is that if you ever have to justify something as "technically not cheating", you've overstepped a boundary, regardless of how orthodox your relationship is. More to the point, if your partner is upset by something you did, telling them it was technically ok isn't going to get you anywhere. The joke is that goatee guy did something that hurt his girlfriend's feelings, then summarily dismissed her opinion when she tried to talk about it.

The "not technically cheating" bit in my eyes simply makes it very clear that Goatee Guy is indeed an "unlikeable character".  Ugh.  Right with you on this one, Cueball! {{unsigned ip|108.162.222.38}}
 
 
Honestly, is nobody going to give Goatee Guy the benefit of the doubt? We know next to nothing about what actually happened. {{unsigned ip|162.158.58.123|19:44, October 24, 2017‎}}
 
 
As a man with a goatee, I object to Randall's depictions of our demographic in this [[675: Revolutionary|and]] [[796: Bad Ex|other]] [[435: Purity|comics]]. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.63.6|162.158.63.6]] 21:30, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
 
: As a person who has dated men with goatees, I'm fine with it. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.166.153|162.158.166.153]] 00:48, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
