Similar to the cheerleader effect, the captain effect occurs when everyone in the group, male or female, is agreeably unattractive, EXCEPT for one individual. That individual is deemed the captain because he or she commands the outer attention of the group, AND is undoubtedly the best looking of the bunch. However, without his or her crew the captain is nothing.
Ex. If you have 4 girls in a group and all of them are the same, except 1 girl is noticeably taller and slimmer, who do you sleep with?
a. 1 of the 3. You have better chances.
b. The 1 exception. She's the captain.
c. All of the above. "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." –Aristotle
d. None of the above. You've got a computer at home.
"A captain without his crew plays with his ship, alone, by himself, in the middle of the sea, where plenty of fish do NOT exist."

Bro 1: You see that girl?
Bro 2: Which one? They're all ugly.
Bro 1: The good-looking one.
Bro 2: She only looks good because everyone else is way uglier than her. It's the captain effect.
Bro 1: Well, I'd still do her.
Bro 2: Well, that's because you have beer goggles.

Get the Captain CamoPantsmug. Much like "The Houddini", during intercourse the male should spit on her back to create the impression of him being "finished", then when she turns round he spunks in her eye. From this, he should then kick her like as to ensure that she is covering one eye whilst simultaneously hopping and yelling "aaargh", much like a pirate.
