Two things that come to mind.

If I see 2 girls walking together, and one of them has certain nice features (ie nice legs), and the other one has different nice features (ie nice face), my mind kind of combines them into one and I end up appreciating both of them more, because each one is next to someone who has what they lack. I've often wondered if there's a name for this. And I've always taken it for granted that must be universal.

If a girl has a nice face, her body immediately looks nicer, even if it's imperfect.


Have you noticed the same things? Can you think of any other strange things related to attraction?

I don't know if it's exactly the same, but I believe #1 is cheerleader effect and #2 is halo effect.

No it's not quite the same thing, but I suppose it's close. The cheerleader effect is when someone looks better because they're in a group. What I mean is when two girls look better because they're next to each other and together they have more than they have individually. ie it feels like the girl with the nice legs is prettier because the girl next to her is.

I usually think of the halo effect as being when a girl is perceived to be nicer because she's attractive, but I think it could also apply in terms of what I mentioned, although it should have its own name. Maybe it does.
