    My read of the meme was that the similarity is the point. “You vs the girl he cheats with”, if one was significantly more attractive than the other would probably imply that it’s the woman’s fault for not being more attractive. But by showing them both basically the same, the message is “if he’s a cheater, he’s gonna cheat, no matter what you do. It’s on him.”

    But maybe I’m putting too much thought into it.

      That’s an interesting take. So basically a cheater isn’t being drawn into anything because of a specific desirable trait that you lack, it’s just that he’s a piece of shit who wants to cheat.

        Yeah… But brain rot will have you believe if they cheat, you need to attack the person they cheated on you with.

      Yes the point is that they’re similar, but with the added layer that you’re supposed to prefer the left because it looks more natural whereas the right looks like they tried too hard to achieve the same look and failed.
