People are comparing themselves to others. If you're a guy, you're sometimes comparing yourself to the other guy you know that has women all around him, he's got a great job and he's in the physical shape you would like to be in. Women are comparing situations. One woman thinks married life is a lot better than single life and the same married woman she's alluding to…man, she's wishing she was still single. We're always looking at how we compare to the competition.
