I think there's a lot of truth here, but I still think there's more to the explanation. Because the random guy DOES have something to gain -- !
And a husband COULD not try to comfort at all sometimes, or let days go by without a compliment, without really risking their position.
I think there's something more primal, the need to attract... or to know that we're capable of attracting... or something.
Or maybe just that we're habituated to the fact that our SOs find us attractive, but someone else finding us attractive is new information, so we respond to it differently each time? (I guess that's pretty much what's already been said)
Or we're programmed to collect admirers, so we respond with that surge of satisfaction when we add one to the collection?
