Just because you've ordered doesn't mean you can't look at the menu

"Women look at other guys as much, if not more, than guys look at other women. Women are just better at hiding it because of their superior peripheral vision." - Cosmopolitan Magazine

Anybody who has been in a romantic relationship with another person, or even heard about somebody who has, knows that sometimes you or the other person can get jealous.

        Model of jealousy:
         ,, 
         ~' ;)  ---------->    ;)
        /|\/|\                /|\
   boy   | /|\  girl           |   cute boy
       _/ \_|_               _/ \_

The doctrine that Just because you've ordered doesn't mean you can't look at the menu asserts that it is ok for somebody in a relationship to look at other people and find them attractive, as long as they don't act on their primitive impulses.

      Model of this doctrine:

        OK                      Not OK

       ,,                      ,,     ,,
       -    _                  -      -
       |\_ /_/ menu            |\_OO_/|
       |_                      |_meal_|
         |_                      |__|
