compound hotness

When a girl, or a boy, is perceived as hotter than they actually are due to one's pre-existing crush on them.

Friend 1: What would you rate Ashley?

Friend 2: Oh my god she is a definite 10/10, so attractive.

Friend 1: Nah man, you've liked her since freshman year, so that's the compound hotness talking. She's barely a 7.
