She says, He says

'Did you have your hair cut?'
'No, they fell by themselves'
'Oh, like a week ago!'

Typical exchange there. Now what guys don't usually understand is that if the haircut is horrible the ladies won't mention it at all because the change would be very obvious and it would save them a lie. In general though, the guys have a trim and it looks nice and neat. So the compliment is usually free. I missed that TV show where they try to investigate if we buy clothes for ourselves or to impress others...duh! Same for a haircut...we do it because we find it nice or necessary, or both. And we just hope everybody we care about would see it the same way we do. At the very least we do not want to hear that it is ugly. Let's face it, every investment we do is aimed at boosting our ego, because we hope it will be a success...whether a car (penis extention), a mansion, a factory, bling bling, etc...And a show of appreciation is always so welcome. And this is where guys usually fail our expectations.


So sure, guys don't notice haircuts as much as women. I think they notice it but then disregard it completely and put it on the hairstyling instead. Mind you, I cannot remember people's eye colours sometimes unless I make a consious note of it for its own sake. Hmmm, imagine some guy staring at you because he tries to remeber your hair, just in case it changes the next day...creeepy! Still, it is justified to expect a compliment about one's haircut or hair colour when so much effort and money have been put into it. Also maybe because they sometimes don't really realize we have a head. There are advantages at being underestimated, but that is another blog entry.
