Women checking me out when I am with my gf.

it's simple really, girl smiles at you when you're with your girlfriend, you smile back, girl immediately gets one up on your girlfriend, makes her feel really good about herself because she feels more attractive than someone else.

I have found this the same in the past. Even when I was out on the town with a female friend. It doesn't even have to be a girlfriend. I also noted the more attractive she was, friend or no, the more female attention I got. Some were horribly obvious, but most weren't. Seems logical enough TBH.

There's something to that. Plus IMHO women take more risks with guys and are more aware of potential danger than the other way around, so if another woman has shown interest enough in a guy to go out with him, he looks more like a guy who has passed the safety/attractive test kinda thing. A guy on his own is an unknown quantity. It's like it's easier to get a job if you already have one. You've passed one employers test so you're less of a risk.

Throw in not being bothered as you have someone already and the guy looks and acts confident and content. So a guy who is confident, content and attractive enough that a women wanted to go out with him is very attractive to other women. Doesn't mean they'll do anything about it, but they may notice him more.

I think men are generally different that way. A man in a pub surrounded by women is much more attractive to passing women, than a woman surrounded by men.

OP like 90% of these women who may check you out won't do anything about it, it also follows that you don't do anything about it. Try to avoid making your GF feel uncomfortable and just take the compliment for what it is.
