The "Lovey Effect" occurs when a man realizes that a woman previously viewed as a sexless old crone is actually quite bangable. This usually happens at about age 40. The name is derived from "Lovey" Howell from Gilligans Island. When you watched the show as a kid you thought she was like 80. Then as an adult you realize there were three good options on that island.
Dude 1 - "Bro I went to our 20th HS reunion and lemme tell you, that librarian that always broke our balls was there... I never realized she's actually pretty damn hot! The "Lovey Effect" for real!"
Dude 2 - "bro she totally worked my junk by the card catalogue senior year, but I was too ashamed to admit it at the time!"
