she could just be further in the background compared to the top right girl… i mean she is shaded over, but by that logic then the top left girl would be a giant.
There was a scientific study done on this sort of thing. Turns out that it has to do with hormones and pheromones. Being in a relationship generally makes one happier, and thus release more endorphins and other chemicals. In the end, some of these hormones make your skin and eyes clearer and make you release more pheromones. Now if only someone could find a link to that actual research study and correct the parts I got wrong…
Lots of people have noticed this phenomenon. Chris Rock even has a standup bit about it.
You could think of the dating process as subconsciously searching for a mate that meets all your criteria to spend the rest of your life with and help you make high-quality children. It’s a difficult and frustrating process, trying to figure out who’s actually a great partner, who’s a diamond in the rough, and who’s just a loser who hides it well. Unfortunately you can’t tell everything about a person at a glance; it takes a while to really get to know them well enough to decide if you want to spend forever with them.
“Someone else’s man” is an individual who’s already successfully passed through another woman’s screening process! Chances are much higher that he’s not a loser, and might pass your screening process as well, as it’s already proven that he’s good enough for the woman he’s with.
As I’m reading this, I’m entertaining the thought that this could give a clue about why women get angry at other women when they’re in an affair with their husband. They’re saying, “Hey, I’ve already done screening this one.” A message of — Go screen your own…. Do your own homework.
My best friend after high school had the opposite problem. He couldn’t find anyone available to date, but all of his friend’s girlfriends flirted with or tried to seduce him.
Apparently only unavailable women were attracted to him.

Ahh! I love that show!!
and the show in question might be?
The show I am thinking of is a musical called “The Last Five Years”. Dunno if that’s what they meant…
Yes it is
I doubt it’s true…
I’ve been married 6 years & I’ve never noticed any such thing.
Then again, I AM pretty clueless about these things; not to mention completely smitten with my wife.
the key word here is that you haven’t noticed.
Weird how that works. True though it is.
was that Phix in the bottom right corner?
Way too short for Phix
she could just be further in the background compared to the top right girl… i mean she is shaded over, but by that logic then the top left girl would be a giant.
It can’t be Phix, she’s stuck in the you know where at this point of the comic.
Every woman wants the dress marked SOLD (okay only most do)

Is it really that simple??
Nyaaaaaaaaaaa. Who am I foolin’.
Are you getting enough IRONY in your diet?

Perhaps they’re attracted to the “husband” archetype, rather than the man.
Pfft. I’ve found that if I want to talk to an attractive young women, all I have to do is walk up to her and say, “Got a light?”.
‘Course, I’m well and truly married, so that might skew the results. But we can have some great convos.
