I once told my girlfriend that her new hairdo was "more of a hair don't" she did put it back more like it had been before that. Actually looked BETTER than before.

[–]counting_kittens 13 points14 points ago

This why we are honest about changeable things. It's called constructive criticism and it helps people improve.

[–]Smilge -3 points-2 points ago

Women don't want to hear what you think. They want to hear what they think in a deeper voice.

[–]frozenveinz -3 points-2 points ago

Oh the truth, plus nearly equal distribution of upvotes/downvotes, so you know its true.

[–]LaCrosse1 13 points14 points ago

All you gotta do is wait a few days or a week, then say that at first you were just not used to it but now you really like it. Alot of times when women make a major change in their hair they don't even like it themselves until they have had a few days or a week to get used to it. My wife used to be a hair stylist.

[–]lilmissie365 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I always do this. Every time I get a haircut, I feel really uncomfortable with it for about a week, then it grows on me.

[–]scruffy01 83 points84 points ago

So what level of retarded are you? I mean are you allowed to handle non-safety scissors?

[–]IronLung420 12 points13 points ago

Do not give this person anything sharper then a crayon.

[–]Bravo9000 2 points3 points ago

You can stab someone in the eye with a crayon.

[–]trexchow 0 points1 point ago

You can eat a crayon.

[–]Surfacetovolume 11 points12 points ago

Why would you tell anyone, ever, that you liked their hair better before?

[–]JTDeuce 2 points3 points ago

People always give me shit for cutting my 3 inch long hair into a buzz cut.

[–]AlisonCreates 7 points8 points ago

So that she knows for the future. My bf told me because I asked him, and he was honest. I like cutting my hair in a way that pleases him because it makes me feel good.

[–]RedeemingVices 4 points5 points ago

Because they asked my opinion and momma didn't raise a liar.

[–]Bravo9000 -1 points0 points ago

To be honest?

[–]Trollatio_Caine 2 points3 points ago

I can't tell if this is better or worse than saying "Yes, you do look fat."

Also, ftfy: retartar.

[–]SheShartedBigTyme -4 points-3 points ago

Probably will get down voted straight to hell, but what movie is this from.. I laughed •_•

[–]frozenveinz 0 points1 point ago

It's not. Also, a tip to the newbie: Don't say "Probably will get down voted straight to hell". Ever.

So: What level of retarded are you?

[–]SheShartedBigTyme 0 points1 point ago

Retard level 42.. Ranked up after that question I posted

[–]bakupl 9 points10 points ago

Oh you poor thing...

[–]jasmaree 8 points9 points ago

Once asked a boyfriend "Hey I got my hair done! Do you like it?" His response?

"Yeah, it's not greasy like it usually is."

[–]PaulMcGannsShoes 6 points7 points ago

TIL dishonesty makes relationships work.

[–]kala1928 7 points8 points ago

The other day my wife-to-be was complaining how I didn't seem to want to have sex with her during the week even though I was out drinking two nights and came home bit tipsy.

My response was "I think I just wasn't drunk enough either night" followed by an abrupt moment of "...." as the realization of what I had said followed.

Then we just laughed it off.

I think I can consider myself pretty lucky.

[–]somecallmemike 10 points11 points ago

It's still there, festering... Just wait.

[–]maumacd 37 points38 points ago

Daaaaaaang...

I'll never forget when I asked my husband if I had pretty eyes. "Well... I mean, they're average." was his response. Like seriously... I will never forget. Instant self-consciousness of eyes forever.Every time I look in the mirror.

She will look in the mirror and hate her hair just a little bit until she changes it again.

[–]stareattheart 8 points9 points ago

Well hair changes, eyes don't.

I want long hair again (pixie cut is boring, one hairstyle all the time), I think he has stopped caring by now. He asked me not to dye my hair for a while so he can see what colour it really is.

[–]FaKeShAdOw 1 point2 points ago

You can change your eyes if you wanted to.

You basically either put on fancy contacts/circle lenses, or you get a surgery that slices open your fucking cornea so doctors can shove in a colored circle.

[–]stareattheart 1 point2 points ago

I don't have enough money for anything but glasses. If my prescription changed, I'm fucked. Glasses are expensive.

[–]FaKeShAdOw 2 points3 points ago

I bought my glasses online for like ...30 bucks or whatever.

[–]stareattheart 0 points1 point ago

That's nice.

No company ships here, nor can I tranfer money through the internet.

[–]FaKeShAdOw 1 point2 points ago

...Do you live at the North Pole?

[–]stareattheart 1 point2 points ago

Nope.

Just Eastern Europe.

Westerners forget that most countries don't have their privileges.

[–]stareattheart 0 points1 point ago

Well I cut off all of my coloured hair, now I have natural hair pixie.

[–]spyro7 0 points1 point ago

Gotcha.

[–]dynamically_drunk 5 points6 points ago

I did a similar thing to an ex, who was at the time a long time girlfriend. She was complimenting my eyes and asked what I thought of hers, without thinking I just said, "I don't know, they're brown." As in pretty damn normal. Not a huge issue but she would bring that up occasionally and I always felt kind of bad for blurting that out.

[–]maumacd 4 points5 points ago

This is almost exactly how it played out. My husband has BEAUTIFUL blue eyes (and he knows it). I'm going on about how awesome they are and how I love looking into them. I ask the question expecting some sort of platitude... and he pops out with what I wrote above.

Any time either of us needs an example of brutal honesty - we use that. It's sort of become a joke... but it still hurts secretly.

[–]alltheaway 4 points5 points ago

For future reference, the correct answer is "I get lost in them every time I look at you."

[–]Bravo9000 2 points3 points ago

OH NO IM AVERAGE

[–]neutrino_transport 0 points1 point ago

Nobody likes to be average.

[–]mashingthekeys 23 points24 points ago

CRAZY ALERT

[–]maumacd 34 points35 points ago

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THOSE COMMENTS STICK WITH YOU.

I wish I could just let it go...

[–]Bencool 4 points5 points ago

I was once told I have a pretty dick. Oddest compliment ever.

[–]frozenveinz 1 point2 points ago

QUICK, FIND WHAT HES/SHES TALKING ABOUT.

[–]douglovesboobies -2 points-1 points ago

Um..."every person ever" alert?

[–]acaellum 0 points1 point ago

Whatever, my eyes are sexy as fuck.

[–]counting_kittens 2 points3 points ago

Hair can be changed and personally, I would like to know if my new haircut looks stupid. I kind of hate the expectation that people will always tell you that you look nice or they like your haircut. Why even ask then? That's how you end up looking back at photos of yourself from a few years ago and go wtf was I thinking, no wonder I wasn't getting laid.

[–]Kubaker1 1 point2 points ago

No, your eyes are beautiful! (Oh, please make her stop looking at me.)

[–]Siddlypi 7 points8 points ago

You fucked up big time! She will never ever forget this and you so much as glance at another woman with her old colour hair and you will be picking up teeth for days.

[–]rglitched 2 points3 points ago

Am I the only one that refuses to take someone seriously when they get offended for days over something this stupid? I'd be giving the "I'm not angry...but I am disappointed in you," speech if they were upset for more than a minute or so.

[–]I_Key_Cars 2 points3 points ago

Save yourself years of misery and file for the divorce now.

[–]jmc_automatic 3 points4 points ago

Rookie mistake...

[–]trappedinabox 1 point2 points ago

Now my friend a lot of people are going to tell you that you've fucked up here but I will say that if there's one thing that you should be honest about, it's her hair.

Her facial features, her breasts, her ass, her stomach, all of these are things that are either completely beyond her control without thousands of dollars in cosmetic surgery, or they are things that are completely within her control that take a lot of personal hard work by exercising and dieting.

Her hair was done by someone else. Not liking her hair seems like an insult to her but its really an insult to the stylist. She can do something about the situation and its not her fault. She can change her hair color and hairstyle relatively easily.

So yes you're going to catch some flak right now but if you just placate her all of the time and tell her that everything about her is great all of the time, she's not going to trust your opinion and she's going to go somewhere else to get a "true" opinion. That undermines your relationship because compliments mean nothing if she doesn't feel like they're genuine. If there's one thing to be honest about - it's the hair.

[–]RupertMurloc -2 points-1 points ago

THANK YOU.

If you are with a woman that can't deal with some honest feedback, then she's not worth it.

Stop engaging in games with women, men. If you don't play back, they stop playing.

[–]android11 3 points4 points ago

Salutations Android4. This is android11. What is the status of the other 12?

[–]TAC0001 5 points6 points ago

Imagine you remodeled a house and she said she liked it better the way it was before. That's slightly approaching the level of incorrect that you committed.

[–]hackiavelli 0 points1 point ago

Doesn't work. Everyone knows you need to get any remodeling signed off in triplicate by the lady of the house before even lifting a measuring tape.

[–]runmymouth 1 point2 points ago

You haven't been married long have you? After a while your wife learns better than to ask what you think.

I bet you told your wife the jeans made her look fat too. What you should have told her is the jeans don't make you look fat, the fact your fat makes you look fat.

[–]Maboz 3 points4 points ago

Almost as classic as the "does this dress make me look fat?" trap. Damnit bro, you have to dodge shit like this.

[–]t3hdoct0r 2 points3 points ago

We gather here today to remember Android4. He was a good android. Always followed the 3 laws of robotics. Never neglected his subroutines. He even towed my car one night, when I was too tired to drive home. You will be missed. R.I.P Android4

[–]SanJose_Sharks 1 point2 points ago

After my wife had our daughter she gained some weight and I told her I missed how she looked before she was pregnant. She slept on the couch for a week.

[–]apinney89 7 points8 points ago

You're awful! First you call your wife fat, THEN you make her sleep on the couch?!

[–]Lunchbox2208 -1 points0 points ago

heh.

[–]RedditGarbage 0 points1 point ago

Dizam hide.

[–]myah_little_robot 1 point2 points ago

If she asked your opinion, it's probably not as bad... right?! I'd rather know if my boyfriend didn't like my hair, but if I liked it, it wouldn't really matter...

[–]NextName 0 points1 point ago

Yeah... not everyone subscribes to the same train of thought as you. Many act like childless, crying children that can't handle being criticized.

[–]Abra-Used-Teleport 1 point2 points ago

Reading these comments and knowing that my hair grows about an inch a month, I feel very different in the fact that I don't mind critiques like that.

I think it's fun to change your hair to something different! Even if it doesn't look as good, it's a great way to find out--and you won't know unless you do it.

[–]Deso4life 1 point2 points ago

Soooo OP you getting ready to sleep on the couch tonight? :p

[–]strineGreen -1 points0 points ago

That is racist

[–]linzeexgirl 1 point2 points ago

Oh you poor, clueless man.

[–]leonarodsan 0 points1 point ago

"What am I on the 1-10 scale?". . . How do we answer this, honestly or dishonestly, without getting burnt?

[–]mikeg542 4 points5 points ago

I just told my girlfriend she was a 1 on the 0-1 scale. Then just explain all your friends only use that scale and that she's "one hell of a 1". Worked for me

[–]NextName 0 points1 point ago

Be as honest as you can, then fluff it up a bit. If you know you're with a 5 and they know they're a 5, don't lie too much and say they're a 10 or "Babe, you're an 11 in my book." Just try to avoid giving an exact answer and say something like, "You're the most beautiful woman I've known."

[–]qwertyhydro 0 points1 point ago

My ex wore a new skirt once, and I told her it made her look Armish ... I never heard the end of it, but IT DID!

[–]PrinceWilliam13 0 points1 point ago

If you look at his mouth, it looks like he's saying "I have a huge dick"

[–]M0b1u5 0 points1 point ago

It appears you have suffered some sort of brain hemorrhage and are in urgent need of medical attention. Perhaps you can get your doctor to write a note saying you were temporarily insane at the time, and can't be held responsible for what you said.

Jesus, it's like thinking for longer than 0.5 seconds when the wife asks if you love the car more than her.

[–]Chicoconut 0 points1 point ago

I would appreciate that, actually. I can't get my husband to really give me an opinion on color. It's really unhelpful. He's liked pretty much everything I've done (and in our 13 years together, that's a lot). The most help I've gotten was "I think I prefer you with darker colors." I get home from the salon, ask him what he thinks, and his answer is always "You're pretty," and it's not because he doesn't want to hurt me with the truth.

Helpful!

I can't read his lips. Should I be worried?

[–]C0RR4D0 0 points1 point ago

[–]meangrampa 0 points1 point ago

It's just because you don't want it to feel like cheating when you bang her.

[–]StephSC 0 points1 point ago

bad move

Plato said lying is OK if it truly benefits the cause of the people. Cocksucker called it the noble lie.

[–]grind613 1 point2 points ago

I believe the correct verbiage is "...after she got her hair did..."

[–]poleethman 0 points1 point ago

"...after she finna get her weave did..."

[–]Ojahh -1 points0 points ago

I hope you got a good couch buddy, oh and you might be in need of /r/nsfw for the next 2-6 weeks

[–]GentlemenQuinn -2 points-1 points ago

I came up with a completely random, and very likely untrue story, and then used a gif. related to a TV show that the majority of Redditors enjoy.

[–]spot35 -2 points-1 points ago

DAE think he's saying "I have a huge nip"?

[–]bobo007 -2 points-1 points ago

Wow, Mr romance strikes again. So helpful hint: if she asks you if her butt looks big, you say no.

[–]shadowryder 3 points4 points ago

"fuck yeah and it's fine as hell"
