I remember reading this blog post / article a few months ago, about how a girl (let�s call her Girl A) can perceive a [boring- or plain-looking] guy to be �handsome(r) by proxy� (I don�t remember the exact term used, and I also can�t find the article I�m referring to orz) when she finds out that the guy actually has a girlfriend (let�s call her Girl B), and not just any girl but someone whom Girl A considers to be on a �higher ground� than she is, in terms of physique or other shallow criteria for judging the �better girl�.
