island effect

An effect that happens to men in regards to only seeing ugly women for an extended period of time, in which they begin to see ugly women as attractive.

This consistently happens to men who work too much, and dont go out often. Especially in low paying, night shift jobs.

Its called the island effect because one is isolated from the attractive, outside world.

Priguna Effect

A theoretical psychological phenomenon proposing that individuals, regardless of intelligence, moral awareness, or ethical education, are inherently predisposed to commit morally questionable or harmful acts under certain circumstances. The Priguna Effect suggests that intellectual capability does not inherently prevent ethical lapses, implying that the potential for wrongdoing is a universal human trait, not mitigated by rational thought alone.
"Despite his towering intellect and numerous accolades, the scandal reignited debate over the Priguna Effect—can brilliance ever truly insulate one from moral failure?"
