About

I Bet He's Thinking About Other Women ("Seguro esta pensando en otra" in Spanish), also known as "He's Probably Thinking About Other Girls", is an image macro series featuring photographs of a woman and man in bed captioned with mock internal monologues in which the woman speculates her partner is "thinking about another woman" while the man thinks about a variety of absurd topics. While the series originally began circulating on the Spanish-speaking web in late 2016, English language variations began appearing online in the summer of 2017.

Origin

On December 17th, 2016, Twitter user @chochos posted a photograph of a woman staring at a man in bed captioned with mock internal monologues in which the woman thinks "seguro está pensando en otra" ("surely he is thinking of another" in English) as the man thinks to himself "¿por qué en Star Wars se oyen las explosiones si se supone que el sonido no se propaga en el vacío?" ("Why are there sounds in Star Wars if it is assumed sound does not travel in space?" in English). Over the next years, the tweet gathered upwards of 2,200 likes and 1,700 retweets.
