Tinder's Law of Attraction

On Tinder and similar dating sites, when trying to figure out who the appropriate person is in a group photo, always err on the side of the least attractive person.
Gary: How am I supposed to know which one she is? The only pictures she posted were group photos.

Tim: She is most likely the least attractive person in the group. It's Tinder's Law of Attraction.

Operationally Attractive

Ugly People Mingers who become attractive only because there is no other choice.
After a while the hormones adjust to the ambient level of ugliness and you can find these people 'Operationally Attractive'. All is fine until you return from the 'area of operations' to your usual life.

Eg:1 You're from the big city and you have to work/study out of town in hill-billy country where there is only 1 bar and only 3 girls/guys ..all with moustaches and tatoos, and hairy backs..after a few days/weeks/months (delete as appropriate) they start to look stunning Operationally Attractive.

Eg:2 Private Jones was on a 12 month tour of duty in SomewhereISTAN. At first the available women/men all looked quite Ratty with substandard looks, but after a few months they became "Operationally Atractive".....

Eg:3 My boy D who only dated gorgeous girls in London went to live and study in Nottingham..He swore abstinance for the first semester cos' the girls were all Coyote Ugly...then We didn't hear from him till the end of the summer term when he showed up with a minger under each arm like he was Hugh Hefner...They were huge and they were heffers...
We laughed him out of the neighbourhood. Since then he comes back to London every few months to re-calibrate his Radar
He has made a full recovery and is back dating only Top-totty again.

Minor Attracted Person

Otherwise known as a pedophile, but a nicer way of saying it, it's been made so clean of any filth actually associated with the term that a good handful of Tumblr users are actually not disgusted by them, just because the term sounds so much nicer like this.

opposites attract

Like a magnet, polar opposites attract.

Differences and opposites pull, attract and draw together while samenesses and similarities push away or repel from each other

So opposite people fit together and identical people don't mesh together, according to the expression.
Guy: You two are nothing alike. I don't know what you see in him.
Girl: Opposites attract.
Guy: If that were true then rich dudes would like gold diggers
Girl: Who said they didn't? Other girls?

Fundamental Attribution Error

When a problem with a person is really a problem with the situation.
We tend to attribute people’s behavior to their core character rather than to their situation. It's the Situation, Not the Person.
“What a jerk!... see how he drives!”
Fundamental Attribution Error honey, I wonder the situation he’s in that’s causing him to drive so crazy.”

"What do you mean?"
"He is the doctor in charge of emergency at the hospital few blocks away... don´t you remember?"
