This one is especially for the women. On an everyday basis, we compare ourselves to other females, whether we're working, shopping or even watching television.
So after a relationship falls apart, it's only logical that if we are aware of your next girlfriend, we are going to compare and often, for some reason, we feel she doesn't measure up.
After taking a survey of a few females I know, while we think a guy can never replace us or do better than us, we still would prefer to see a Beyonce than a girl who looks like Flavor Flav's twin sister. We would rather see Eva Longoria than Carlos Mencia in a dress. We would rather see Angelina Jolie than Rosie O'Donnell.
But no. A guy will leave an educated woman for a ditz. A guy will leave a young attractive woman for an old hag. I even have one friend whose guy left her for a little person who he quickly impregnated and married. And let's not even begin on men who leave women for men and save that for another day.
Now, making these comparisons can be dangerous, especially if you're single. Why? Because despite everything you may feel the new girlfriend is lacking, she still has a boyfriend. And there also may come the realization that in the guy's mind, the woman is better than you or you would still be together.
And the funny thing is, this doesn't necessarily change with age. The evidence is the women who return from their 20-year high school reunion calling their friends discussing their high school boyfriend's wife.
Have you ever found yourself comparing yourself to the next girlfriend? Did you feel that they measured up?

It's amazing. Whether she's got a hump on her back or a Victoria's Secret model, it just sucks to see a person you really cared for kick you to the curb for someone else. But yeah, I would prefer they at least upgrade rather than go slumming anyday.
Yes my ex left me for that! Now she is looking over her shoulder because the way she got him will be the way she loses him!
Funnily enough, my ex's seem to follow a pattern in the women they choose. They look like me. It's been like that since I was 17/18 years old.
Big brown eyes, full lips, prominent nose (hey that means you have a lot of character hahaha), curves, not too tall, confident smile, soft speaking voice.
It doesn't matter if they are better or worse, you always feel inferior. Jealousy sucks!
yes it does suck to see your ex walking down the street with someone who is quite obviously (to everyone but your ex & maybe even him too) a hot mess. but lets think about for a second how the guys react to your new conquest. for all the trash that guys talk about how they dont care blah blah blah. they do. and i have personally witnessed guys completely dog the next dude of his ex. so while us females are feeling like crap cuz he moved on with miss piggy the dude is wondering why you went from filet mignon to chittlins too. so the moral of this story is...always always always upgrade so you can make that loser ex want to come groveling back to you and you can have the pleasure of stomping out those dreams of his.
My husband had an affair with a teacher he works with and she is about 4 inches shorter than I am and really round. I am about 5'7 and have a relatively sexy body, so it was mind blowing to me why he would choose somebody short and fat to cheat with? But yes, it did make me feel better to know that I looked better.
