Someone asks if you like their wretched new hairdo. You say:

"I hear that the 'Flock of Seagulls' look is coming back."

"Let me mullet over a bit..."

"A ducktail eh...good choice, given the state of the economy (run while they ponder the meaning)."

"So you are sure it was a 'stylist', not a 'barber'?"

I could go on all day....

I'd tell them I just didn't like it. This is also useful in keeping people from bugging me - no one asks me anything unless ther really want to know the answer.

It's a social study that has lead me to the conclusion that most people really like to be lied to.



Tell me you love me and to hell with the truth.

I thought for a moment it was a fright wig.

Where did you get your hair done? (the side step)

Cav, Heheh..

..I've had a fair share of horrid haircuts, meself.

The worst was one time when I was desperate to find a barber in scathing-hot Djibouti on a Friday (bad move, 'tis a Muslim country so all respectable places were closed). I don't speak French so I ended up having to give instructions through people coming in & out, and as luck would have it it turned out the guy with the razor to my neck was on drugs! Once it got to the point where I started looking like a St. Francis of Assisi impersonater I had to tell the guy just to shave everything off.

So often, words left unspoken are the kindest words of all.[/i]

Willi, there's only one thing I can say in responce to that:

And which butchers shop did you go to ???????????????

Me ? I have a simple lo-maintenance crop, same length all over with a #4 electric razor. Eeasy peasy

the social lie was invented for a reason - a good friend I would tell, but gently...

dlowan- I agree. I would accentuate the positive.......... something like. "Remember the hairdo that you had last fall? I really thought that one looked great on you!"

Yew forgot this option Monger:

"I like it, distracts from yer face!"

Rude min!

Haircuts -- The Difference Between Men and Women


Women's version:
---------------------------

Woman2: Oh! You got a haircut! That's so cute!

Woman1: Do you think so? I wasn't sure when she was gave me the
mirror. I mean, you don't think it's too fluffy looking?

Woman2: Oh God no! No, it's perfect. I'd love to get my hair cut like
that, but I think my face is too wide. I'm pretty much stuck with this
stuff I think.

Woman1: Are you serious? I think your face is adorable. And you could
easily get one of those layer cuts - that would look so cute I think. I
was actually going to do that except that I was afraid it would accent
my long neck.

Woman2: Oh - that's funny! I would love to have your neck! Anything
to take attention away from this two-by-four I have for a shoulder line.

Woman1: Are you kidding? I know girls that would love to have your
shoulders. Everything drapes so well on you. I mean, look at my arms -
see how short they are? If I had your shoulders I could get clothes to
fit me so much easier.



Men's version:
----------------------

Man2: Haircut?
Man1: Yeah.

So?

Are you suggesting min do something noble and Nobel-worthy with the time they save?

Like have farting contests?

(not that I have anything AGAINST those, exactly...)

And I NEVER speak exactly like those women - "cute"..."adorable"....yeccccch!

Nah, just that it's far more common for mins to tell each other that it looks like a pidgeon shat on their head than with wimmins.

LOL!

In Brazil they say it looks like you went to get your haircut at "Pomba" (pidgeon) barber shop.

And it never fails. Every single time I got my hair cut there the men told me it looks like shite and the wimmin said that it was (insert huge diatribe here).
