The BAM Effect

When you go at least a week without shaving or combing your hair. You dress completely like Shit and look just out right awful. Then just before a big get together or meeting up with a girl you like, BAM!! You clean up real nice. The contrast from before and after makes you seem so much nicer.

John: Dude, you look like shit, You goin to that party lookin like that tonight?
Mike: Nah man, I'm goin for The BAM Effect

Stonewall Effect

When members of a marginalized community with a reputation for not defending itself actually defend themselves in a way that sparks not only immediate resistance, but also a long-term movement for equality. Derived from the Stonewall Riots of June, 1969, which are generally regarded as a turning point in the history of LGBT civil rights activism throughout the world.

When the kids from the Glee Club gave the guys from the football team a sound thrashing, it triggered a stonewall effect throughout the school, and nothing was ever the same again.

Letting younger women fuck with your mind. This leads to irrational spending behavior and a general disconnect with normal events.

the ddr effect

The DDR Effect adj.: a member of the male gender doing something thought to be totally 'uncool' in absolutely no attempt to get female attention, but yet attracting the eyes of every female in the room. Doing something your 'mates' would laugh and mock you for, but the female gender find quite 'adorable' or 'sweet' and therefore think of you as a sensitive guy and potential suitor.

those kids that are like massively awesome at ddr are the main inspiration for the ddr effect or guys that take their little siblings to a movie to get them out of their parent's hair for a while potray aspects of the ddr effect LOL. guys should totally try this. it's a total chick magnet :P
