Why men can't compare two girls seen at different times
Assume that a man sees girl 1 on day 1. Let it generate 100 pleasure molecules in amygdala(emotional part of the brain). We do not have exact measuring instruments in brain to register the number 100. An approximate image and descriptions of the girl will be stored in, say, Neuron Group 1(NG1).
On day 2, he sees girl 2. Let it generate 90 pleasure molecules in amygdala. Now the man tries to compare girl 2 with girl 1. We have NG1 which projects the approximate image of girl 1. Amygdala may generate 80 molecules for the approximate images of girl 1. And we have Neuron Group 2(NG2) which compares the approximate image of girl 1 and the now present image of girl 2. ( Actually NG2 compares the signals generated by Amygdala for approximate images of girl 1 and the now present images of girl 2)
Though, in reality, girl 1 looks more prettier than girl2 for the man, the fact that he could only use the approximate images of girl1 screws up the results of the comparison.
Moral of the story: Better to keep the girls side by side when doing the comparison. ( Don' know if this will create other problems)
Note: I had seen the Telugu film "Nuvostanante Neodhantana" (which is the original of Tamil remake "Something something") where Siddharth will try to recollect the image of Trisha thrice. He could only get approximate image of Trisha. That made me extend my idea to all men.

I suspect:
brain stores "pleasure units" and other metadat along with the girls image.
So when brain tries to compare two girls, i have a choice to do
a) image comparision
b) generated pleasure unit comparision.
c) totally different way(s)
d) more than one comparision and a final summary.
I suspect brain does method b by default than method a.
I too like the idea of pleasure unit comparision rather than image comparision.
I would also be biased towards a process which is a combination both these ways or it could be a combination of multiple other ways also.
After all our brain is just a Neural network and thousands of neurons may be interacting together to do this comparision. Also there are lakhs of connections between these neurons. So we should not be surprised if there are many different ways of comparision.
