piranha effect

The term for when a guy gets a girlfriend and immediately becomes desired by other girls. It is a sociological phenomenon involving social status, showing that the man is okay to be desired. He has been approved by a sociological microcosm as a man who would make a good mate. It also involves competition, the guy is almost a prize now, something that can be won in a competition.

Once one piranha bites, they all swarm.
Single guy walks down hallway, girls barely notice. Guy gets with hottie and now girls can't stay away.

Campanella Effect

The sense of almost boyish enthusiasm that comes over middle aged men when pursuing a hobby that requires expensive stuff and leaves non-hobbyists scratching their heads to figure out why it's so damned important. (Derived from Roy Campanella's observation about baseball: "You got to have a lot of little boy in you to play this game.")
When Jerry began talking about model railroading, it was easy to see the Campanella Effect in action.
