    I dunno anything about styling longer hair, but I’m going to guess that the tighter curls on the right look less messy. But it does seem like a pretty toxic attitude displayed.

    the actual answer is that the curls are brushed which is essentially a minor thing that make some people feel like they’re better than others, hence why the unbrushed version is the version that the guy would cheat on (worse) and the main girl is “better”

    the different ideas in the comments are KILLING me though. I think the ‘tight curls = tight grip on dick’ theory is the funniest one

      I’m pretty sure the actual answer is that they’re virtually the same hairstyle. Cheaters gonna cheat.

      I got the idea that the woman on the left took a little more care in her personal appearance and the one on the right was a little more trashy, which made this song pop in my head.

    Is it something about hair extensions?

    I don’t know what the implications of hair extensions would be.

    Honestly it just looks like before sex hair and after sex hair. Or someone with straight hair immediately after curling it vs. 5 minutes later. So if he cheats on the somewhat touseled hair person with the I Just Did My Hair person, he’ll just end up with a somewhat touseled hair person again. Maybe even if he goes to coffee with the picture #2, when she leaves she will have the hair in the first image.

    Obviously if I don’t understand the joke then it’s crossposted engagement bait. And I’m sticking to that mindset.

        It’s the same person at different stages of styling. They’re both the same level of artificial/natural, however you measure that.

          To clarify: the right is the curls you create with heat, the left is after you carefully brush them out a bit so they appear more natural. So it’s a before (well, mid way) and after, left to right. Most people prefer the natural looking styling.

      I saw this a while ago on reddit, and the explanation in the comments was something about brushing the curls out for a more “natural” look, with the one on the right being worse for not doing it.

    The curls on the left look natural and fluffed up, the curls on the right look stiff and like they were done in a hurry.

      The left image is a before image, the right an after image.

      It’s wild to me that you are the image on the right as the rushed job when it is the intended result.

      Just interesting to see different reads in this

    Ok, as a man, I can see that these are two different hairstyles. Visually, it’s obviously the same person but with slightly different configurations of hair. Where I’m lost is that this meme seems to imply that one is better than the other. Which is the superior look? I don’t know. That doesn’t mean I cannot differentiate between the two, it means I am out of touch with whatever is stylish at the moment. There’s nothing objectively more or less beautiful in these photos. Maybe one style is easier to maintain, and the difference is supposed to sugest that one of them takes better care of their hair? Or maybe they are too fussy and vain to a fault? This is specialized knowledge that can only be shared via communication. You cannot discover it on your own like some scientific truth. You must learn it from someone else who knows.

    The people who are snarky about people not knowing something like this are the worst sort of snobs. Not only are they mocking people who haven’t been included in the secret, they are wasting an opportunity to share knowledge to do it.

      My interpretation was that people are just paranoid and that nobody is cheating since I would agree that it’s almost certainly the same person.

      The only people paying attention to nuanced differences in women’s hairstyles are other women. Most men wouldn’t notice a minor difference like this lol. I’ve joked about this with my wife before. Only other women pay attention to women’s outfits and hair. Men don’t notice or care. We’re interested in other things lol.

        My wife gets mad at me when she asks my opinion between different shoes. “Which ones are more comfortable?” They both look great, but we’re going to be standing and walking a lot.

          Haha yea. Same. She’ll show me 2 pairs of shoes that look almost exactly the same and demand that I choose haha. But to be fair, there are plenty of things I show her that she doesn’t give a shit about. So at least it’s equal on that front :-P.

        It’s like that study that showed that the size of men’s pecs are of interest to other men, women don’t really look at them as indicators of attractiveness

        #notallwomen sweeping generalisation etc etc

          It’s a similar story with cars, unless you’re driving an exotic of some type, only other car people care.

      My read of the meme was that the similarity is the point. “You vs the girl he cheats with”, if one was significantly more attractive than the other would probably imply that it’s the woman’s fault for not being more attractive. But by showing them both basically the same, the message is “if he’s a cheater, he’s gonna cheat, no matter what you do. It’s on him.”

      But maybe I’m putting too much thought into it.

        Yes the point is that they’re similar, but with the added layer that you’re supposed to prefer the left because it looks more natural whereas the right looks like they tried too hard to achieve the same look and failed.

        That’s an interesting take. So basically a cheater isn’t being drawn into anything because of a specific desirable trait that you lack, it’s just that he’s a piece of shit who wants to cheat.

          Yeah… But brain rot will have you believe if they cheat, you need to attack the person they cheated on you with.

    I assumed that “he” is cheating on his partner with this girl. Like, it’s the same person, because this is the person he’s having an affair with.
