Complexity bias is a cognitive bias where individuals tend to favor complex explanations, theories, or solutions over simpler ones, even when the simpler ones are more likely to be correct or effective. This preference often stems from the belief that complex ideas are more sophisticated, intelligent, or thorough.
Whenever I ask my friends for advice on a simple problem, they always dive into some wild complexity bias, making everything sound way more complicated than it needs to be!

Get the Lunial complex mug.Essentially the antithesis to the Madonna-whore complex where a woman may be sexually attracted to the dominant and agressive "gigolo" but may not see him as an ideal partner or spouse. On the other hand she romantically desires the mellow and submissive "gentleman" to be a husband and father to her children but may not respect him as a man or partner. The "gigolo" may possess dark human traits that are deemed "toxic" or "dangerous" such as Machiavellianism or could simply just be charismatic, masculine, and attractive, as well as being able to sexually satisfy the woman. Meanwhile the gentleman may possibly possess pure traits including sensitivity, emotional intelligence and even leadership qualities and financial success, but may also be shy, non-confrontational, passive-agressive, and submissive which at worst makes him more susceptible to molding and manipulation and may not sexually satisfy the woman.
Man 1: Did you see that girl Cheri give that millionaire dude her number
Man 2: yeah but she has a Gentleman-Gigolo Complex, and that guy isn't going for someone like her

Get the Gentleman-Gigolo Complex mug.The Napoleon complex, also known as short-man complex, small man syndrome and many other hilarious names, is a debilitating inferiority complex that axiomatically afflicts all manlets (males shorter than 5ft10). The deep insecurity that results from being the same height as a little girl, drives the petite and effeminate manlet to ever greater levels of compensation, delusion and puerile rage. If the afflicted manlet is a turbo-manlet or terminally insecure, then the already devastating Napoleon complex can advance to a Napoleon complex deluxe. Infamous Napoleon complex deluxe sufferers like tiny Tom Cruise and lying manlet boy Todd Howard have shown the world that, despite their stunted physical development, they aspire to the maximal height of insanity.
Look at that sissy manlet boy prancing around in high heels while insulting people over there, I hope he chokes on his Napoleon complex! That utterly insignificant runt of a manlet is clearly suffering from a Napoleon complex deluxe, if you ask me. Short people got no reason...

Get the Napoleon complex mug.Someone who often expresses narcissistic traits and wants to have many friends just for the sake of looking popular. These friends mean very little to this person and are only there to give some form of benefit creating a very one-sided relationship. They are very arrogant and must be the center of attention.

Get the Soh Complex mug.This complex involves a cognitive distortions around beauty, value and safety. Cognitive distortions are irrational thoughts that can influence one's feelings and behaviors. A belief that not being the prettiest girl by social comparison usually by definition of an ideal beauty standard, could lead to physical danger may be an example of "catastrophizing," where an individual unconsciously predicts that the worst possible outcome is likely to occur.
I struggle with The Pretty Girl Complex, so I haven't been going to parties because I can't emotionally regulate or have fun when I see other women getting more attention than me.
