relative hotness

The phenomenon where a member of the opposite sex (or same sex for homosexuals) seems increasingly attractive due to a lack of attractive people within certain surroundings.

For example, while at work one may begin to think that the girl sitting two cubes over is hot, when in all actuality she is not. This perception of hotness is based solely on the fact that she is the only female in the office under 60 and/or under 300 lbs. Outside of the office, she would not stand a chance to an actual hot or cute girl.

Dude, relative hotness is kicking in bad.. I wouldn't mind gettin' a piece of that big girl on the other end of the conference room table.

The Theory of Relative Hottness

The theory that states that one judges a guy/girl's hottness by comparing him/her to those around them. This explains why one would think someone is hotter when seen at, say a movie theater, than at school. There are fewer to compare them to.

Guy 1: Dude, that girl that goes to your school is really hot.
Guy 2: Naw, that's the theory of relative hottness. At school she's not that hot.

Serial Monogamist

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.

Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
