Everyone knows that men are physically incapable of not ogling every hot woman that walks by, even if they're on a date with another woman. That's just a fun, wacky thing guys do, and us ladies are so charmed by it. In clearly related news, diet soda!
Also weird: the two women appear to be practically twins. Maybe that's why the dude was checking the red-suited lady out. He was just thinking, "Wow, that white, thin blonde woman also fits into my society's idea of the pinnacle of beauty, just like my girlfriend! What a coincidence!" Oh, Tab Cola. Always slipping thoughtful social commentary into ads for one-calorie beverages.
