Are you annoyed and/or disappointed when your partner does not notice your new hairstyle?

I once had a boyfriend not even notice when I had two feet cut off of my hair. It had been long enough to sit on. I was surprised that I wasn’t upset, actually I was a bit flattered that he really didn’t notice my hair to the exclusion of all else. I have been with men who seemed to think that my hair length reflected somehow on them (WTF???) so the guy who didn’t care won a lot of points.

I’m not annoyed. I mean, I never notice when she gets a change, so why should I expect her to notice when I do? Actually, it’s a relief when she doesn’t notice because then I don’t feel so bad about when I do it.

I am the airhead in the family. I was surprised when we went out of town to visit my husband’s family and everyone was commenting on his new hair style. It made me feel pretty silly that I hadn’t noticed it. Apparently it was shorter and spikier on the top.
I am also the one who forgot our anniversary once. He will never let me live that down.

My hair was REALLY long up until March, when I cut it ALL off, out of the blue one day. I think it was about 15 inches. I came home, my boyfriend did not notice. It took him a good five minutes of looking right at me in conversation, and then I think I had to cough or “ahem” to bring it up….......it’s typical though. I was not surprised or mad.

She must have had a motive for not noticing your trimmed beard. I think the hairstyle thing is mostly reserved for women and they do not intend on sharing it with us guys.

Anyway, remember the phrase, “payback is hell”.

Next time she has a new hairdo, put on dark glasses and just ignore her hairstyle.

I get annoyed when it’s a major change like a new color or a drastic style change. Am I really that un-noteworthy that he doesn’t see something like that? If it’s just a trim or slight change, I don’t mind if he doesn’t notice.

I just trimmed about 4 or 5 inches of my hair 3 days ago and my husband didn’t say a word. It’s still the same style, just a bit shorter, so I wasn’t really expecting him to notice. My hair is so long, it would take at least 10 inches for him to notice, I think. It doesn’t annoy me. It’s just hair.

His beard trimming has gone unnoticed and he’s asked me if I like that he trimmed up. I think it may annoy him a bit if I don’t notice.

Never happened. But I guess it’d suck.

No, neither of us is very attentive to looks.

Yes but it’s not that he didn’t notice but since he obviously didn’t like it and didn’t want to say so, it was an awkward thing for a few hours until I flat out asked him if he liked it or not.

I don’t feel annoyed when I think my boyfriend hasn’t noticed when I have my hair done. He tells me I’m beautiful all the time so I’m not going to hold it against him if he doesn’t notice a small change (all my new hair styles are only a small change!)
