The Keith Effect

A phenomenon that occurs when your friend's boyfriend is shittier than a homeless man on Ex-Lax and therefore makes anything your own boyfriend does look like Jesus walking on water in comparison. Inadequate in general, but especially in the bedroom.
Examples of the Keith Effect:

Girl: Oh, honey, you got me a burning bag of dog shit for my birthday? You're so sweet, unlike that Keith guy!

Girl: Oh, honey, you remembered my name! God you're wonderful!

Girl: Oh, honey, I'm so glad you've only cheated on me fifteen times; I heard that Keith guy cheated on his girlfriend a hundred.

The Siren Effect

When you hear a person sing, and their voice is so beautiful that they suddenly become extremely attractive, even if you didn't think so before. This is applicable to women or men with sexy voices, even though sirens are technically female.

This phenomenon is named after the lusty, half-bird, half-woman sirens of Homer's "The Odyssey." They beguile sailors with their seductive serenading, only to bring the poor individuals to their deaths. The siren effect uses singing to deceive (albeit unintentionally), having the potential to give average-looking persons a façade of sexiness, "luring" others in.

For instance, this is the reason (or one of the reasons) the Phantom in all musical productions of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera" always manages to be sexy.
Broadway Fan 1: "Oh, my God, Ramin Karimloo is so sexy, even when he's playing a deformed man!"
Broadway Fan 2: "I completely agree, and the siren effect just adds to it. That voice is so seductive!"

Person 1: "Man, Sarah Brightman is so beautiful!"
Person 2: "I don't know, man. I think it's the siren effect."
Person 1: "Well, maybe it's both."

Student 1: "You know, I never found Matt that attractive before, but then I heard him sing. I think I'm in love!"
Student 2: "I know, right? It's a perfect example of the siren effect."

Will Riker Effect

It's the unsettling feeling given to others by a man who has removed his facial hair and who, as a consequence, looks strange and unfamiliar. It is often intensified by any one, or more, of these: a weak chin, thin lips, or a strongly cleft chin.
When I shaved my beard off, my girlfriend stopped putting out. She blamed it on work stress, but I think it was the Will Riker Effect.
