Ever noticed how someone can seem even more attractive when other people are interested? A new trend suggests that a girl may find a boy twice as appealing when she sees other girls staring at him.
Psychologists say this reaction is driven by a concept known as “mate value.” When others show interest, it signals to the girl that the boy might be more desirable, triggering a boost in her attraction. “It’s a natural human response to feel a little possessive or protective over someone we find valuable,” explains relationship expert Dr. Sarah Greene.
So, next time you catch someone giving your crush the side-eye, it might just be a sign that they’ve become even more irresistible in your eyes! 👀💘
