Twitter finds a back story for the woman in viral 'distracted guy' meme

One of the effects of social media has been the possibility of any random image or video becoming material for memes. While it’s hard to predict what clicks with users, some memes have been creating a buzz for some time now.

Among these the distracted guy looking at another woman while walking with his girlfriend has been used a lot since it surfaced last year. With everyone giving their own spin to the image using it to share their take on a trending topic, some decided to dig deeper.

Many different theories have emerged regarding why the man is distracted; one user went on to figure out his girlfriend’s side of the story. He tracked her down in other situations to reveal the woman as someone who is easily surprised or shocked.

Although it may seem that she is startled every time she looks at a screen, more images show she reacts the same way even without it.

Other users have also found a number of images of the couple together with many pointing out how the woman hasn’t learned a lesson since she appears in several images showcasing their lives together.
