Then on August 21, Redditor [danikger](https://www.reddit.com/user/danikger/) posted a new version, with the man labeled as "me," the woman as "solar eclipse," and the girlfriend as "scientific evidence supporting the dangers of staring at the sun." From here the image spread in a flash, with people changing the labels to suit all kinds of meanings. ## Meaning The meaning of the meme changes with the labels, but is almost always interpreted as a person or group admiring something new (and often detrimental), while something familiar and reliable looks at them with disgust. Meme-makers can use this formula to change the meaning to show transitions in almost any situation. ## Examples [![Distracted Boyfriend meme \#1](https://en.meming.world/images/en/thumb/a/a3/Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_1.jpg/240px-Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_1.jpg)](https://en.meming.world/wiki/File:Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_1.jpg/) [![Distracted Boyfriend meme \#2](https://en.meming.world/images/en/thumb/0/05/Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_2.jpg/240px-Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_2.jpg)](https://en.meming.world/wiki/File:Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_2.jpg/) [![Distracted Boyfriend meme \#3](https://en.meming.world/images/en/thumb/4/44/Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_3.jpg/240px-Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_3.jpg)](https://en.meming.world/wiki/File:Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_3.jpg/) [![Distracted Boyfriend meme \#4](https://en.meming.world/images/en/thumb/0/07/Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_4.jpg/240px-Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_4.jpg)](https://en.meming.world/wiki/File:Distracted_Boyfriend_meme_4.jpg/) ## Popularity [Random Meme 🤠](https://en.meming.world/wiki/Special:Random "Special:Random")
