WHY is it that alot of women get so very insulted and assume fit positions over their husbands or boyfriends not making notice of and complimenting a new hair style.. or a new outfit.. new earrings.. manicure.. etc etc.?? why is it imperrative that every tiny detail of you be observed with scrutiny in order for you to feel loved and appreciated? do you notice it if yer husband wears a different belt, new shoes, or changes their cologne? do you feel the need to notice and get anxous over missing one of HIS tiny minute details of their appearances? do they cry and stomp their feet at you if youve overlooked the fact theyre parting their hair differently? fess up ladies.. where does this insecurity stem from that makes you act this way?

Its sad that the first "lady" to fess up here had to be a guy. But its still early. I'll admit it. I get mad at my boyfriend if he dosent notice I got a hair cut. It has actually been a great source of stress on a couple occasions. I get mad when he dosent notice my hair cut, because I ALWAYS notice when he gets one. He needs to do the same. Funny story.. a couple months ago as we were driving into work I told him I need the car at lunch to go get a hair cut. Well, as the day went on I wasnt able to get away for said hair cut, and had to reschedule. When I got in the car with him for our trip home that night, the moment I sat down he turned to me and said "Oooooooh! I love the haircut hunny!" like he had been reminding himself all day to compliment my new style. At wich point, I turned my head and gave him "the look". Yeah. That was not a fun night. You betcha.

see.. i dont get the need for the practiced compliments ahead of time. if had been me.. idve taken a look at you, said dewd.. thought you said you were getting yer hair cut, it doesnt look any different. rather than go auto pilot for fear of offending for not noticing something done. in yer case, idve been upset over the "pretending" same as you did. mal changes his appearance often.. either a dye job or a buzz cut, whatever (he shaved his hair clean off once and i nearly killed him for it) and i will notice the drastic change.. but i dont notice if hes decided to spike it with gel, or just leave it shaken. there are some folks who get all pissy and insulted if theyve decided to pull their hair back rather than leave it down or viceversa and they dont get accolades of compliments on the change. or theyve done their nails and it isnt noticed with lots of ooooh`s and ahhhhh`s. it is those behaviors i was talking about. what is fundamentally wrong in their damaged psyche to make them NEED this sort of attention??

LMAO, Tee. Ahhhhh, 'the look'. I love 'the look'. It works soooo well. It's funny, my man is starting to try to give me 'the look', too, sometimes. But he just can't do it near as well. I've had a lot of practise. Neat, how we evolve and become more similar simply from being around each other for so long. I like to be noticed, but since my man has slacked off in that dept, he hasn't been getting as much 'nooky' as he would have liked. The attention just makes me feel like he notices me because I am his special someone. If he doesn't notice anyone else, the least he should do is notice me. But he doesn't notice anything unless it is major or I tell him that I want to show him something I changed. So, if I tell him I changed something, then it is obvious that I want the attention, so he gives it now, at least then. But on that note, I think I will do my red henna again. It is time.

It does not bother me that he does not notice things, he has always been this way, and it is his way! I remember dying my hair bright red once, it took him 2 days to notice. I just do not even mention anything I do to myself, sometimes he notices sometimes not. My eldest son always notices though when I do things and he always makes a comment on it too.

Alright I understand what you mean but there is another side. For instance hair cuts - My hair was LONG down to my butt long. I went to the hair dressers on a HOT summer day and cut it ALL off. I'm talking can't put it in a bobbypin short. He didn't notice for 3 days! I know that he didn't notice before that because he came in and said "oh you got your hair cut?" "it looks nice" ummm yeah I did it THREE days ago!!! A$$HOLE!!! Now my hair has been short for about a year now and I don't care if he notices when I get it cut now becuase I can hardley notice but come on when you are talking 15 inches give or take a few yeah he should have noticed! As for him - if he wears some thing new I notice because I bought it - if he buzzes his head I notice some times. Again I notice when he hasn't done it in a long time verses once a week like he normally does. So I guess I am not the typical get mad because he didn't notice my new nail polish on my sock coverd toes but I do get annoyed when its a HUGE change.

ok.. that i will give you. something huge going unseen is something to get a little upset about. one minute youve got hair down past yer butt..the next minute yer practically bald.. yeah.. i can see why THAT going unnoticed would be an issue. nothng like being completely invisible huh? i was refferring to those females who stomp their feet and hollar "you didnt even notice my new earrings!! you dont love me! waaaaaaa!" drama queens. theres a big diffeence tween what you had done, and that ..;nod;..

ROFLMFAO omg in my house it use to be the other way around..my HUSBAND would get pouty if I didnt notice when he got his hair cut and didnt say anything..Until he mentioned that I 'didnt notice' then I'd say something..I'd tell him to stop being such a baby ...Its nto that I didnt notice, I just never see it as a big deal...which is exactly why I dont give a crap if he notices when I dye my hair or whatever (I dont cut my hair or at least never enough to notice especially with it being all curly etc)...I dont do those things (new outfit, hairdo's etc) for anyone but me so why WOULD I actually expect anyone to notice..Just like I doubt very much my hubby gets his hair cut for me...cause I could care less LOL I mean I dont like his hair long cause it doesnt suit him but its his freakn head he can do whatever the hell he wants to it
