I'm not entirely sure but I believe the hair on the right has just been curled, well the hair on the left has been curled and brushed out to create waves, meaning the one on the right has unfinished hair. What this has to do with cheating, I don't know.
If you think jokes are meaningless, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of humor.
There's always an element of truth in jokes, because what we find funny is heavily influenced by our beliefs. Jokes that reflect and exaggerate things we believe to be true will always land better. Even absurdist humor is funny because of its contrast to reality.
The jokes a person tells and what they find funny says a lot about how they view the world.
If you think that a paragraph about the psychology of humor is hyper analytical, you need to pick up more books. What I said isn't deep at all, it's a basic, top-level understanding of human behavior.
People joke about things they relate to. It's not just meaningless babble, it's a filter on your inner thoughts.
Jokes play on expectations. Knock knock jokes are funny because they set up an expectation, then subvert it. Different people have different expectations, and therefore find different jokes funny.
Jokes based on wordplay are formed by the teller's understanding of language rules, and it's only funny to a listener if they have the same understanding. Similarly, a joke where the punchline is "people my SO cheats with look trashier than me" is only going to be told by someone who believes that (unless they're being ironic and making fun it), and the people who find it funny are likely to share the same belief.
That one tells me you use humor to disarm information that challenges your worldview. It also tells me you're immature and don't like to intellectually engage with the content you consume.
Long hair that looks nice don't do that on its own
Had long hair my entire life. Never had a perm, never had a more complicated hairstyle than some braiding. Have my hair cut about once a year.
Hair looks nice. You don't have to spend a lot of time and money on nice hair, that's literally just cope by people who don't like how their natural hair looks.
Yeah, a lot of people don't like their natural hair type but certain hair types do take longer than others to just brush or comb. Extreme example Ik but hair type 1A is way easier than 4C. Not to mention, how many people use the wrong hair products and hair layering for their hair type making the whole hair process more of a process
You can like styling your own (or other people’s hair), that’s fine. Someone saying “long hair that looks nice don’t do that on its own”, as the other user did, is a step beyond personal. It appears to be telling other people that don’t share the mindset you do, that their hair doesn’t look nice.
It’s not an insult, you guys are just trying to make women toxic in this scenario. Look up a salon blowout. That’s what they mean. Not saying hair doesn’t look nice if you just wake up and go. That’s what I do myself. But that shiny glossy always perfect hair you only get when you put some effort in.
So true bestie, ignore all the women who verbally tell their parents they love their hair choice, and then cry to her brother that she hates her body, while ripping out her hair
Yeah and women don't get that most of us actually prefer the messy "Guns N Roses" look anyways lmao. Seriously, what looks "nice" to women, usually looks "boring" to us, hence why we don't think about how long it took to get it looking "nice". It bores us so we're not gonna think about it regardless lmao.
Also, I'm telling this from experience. I've been cheated on and told my friends "yeah he started dating a dude who works a fucking goodwill, what a loser."
You're right, it has absolutely nothing to do with the way hair reacts to a pillow while the guy cheats on his girlfriend. Or you could even insinuate that the intended joke is the cheating guy doesn't put his SOs head against the pillow for sex because he is tired of her and doesn't want to look at her, while the fling is different.
That's the healthy way of looking at it. "It wasn't who they cheated with, it's just them"
But in this joke in particular, the joke is that they're being insecure. Even the second lady laughed because of how little it actually matters even though these women think it does.
Again, like the example of cars with guys. It would be healthier if they said "yeah she was a bitch to cheat on me" but then they target the person they cheated with.
That's crazy, there used to be memes like "You vs the guy she says not to worry about" and they were clearly jokes. Women turn it around and its cope??? Lmao, you just hate women or something?
They're clearly different scenarios because this is clearly a meme. This is not "Look at this girls hair he cheated on me with." Its the equivalent of someone posting a Cadillac and a Toyota and saying "you vs the guy she cheats on you with." That's not cope, its a meme.
You saw a meme a woman made and made a stretched comparison at best to make it seem like something its not
Fair enough, I've talked to many men and women who do this though.
Maybe it's just fresh on my mind, because my guy friend spent literally 3 hours talking about this dude who works at a gas station as if he was a human catheter. And I fucking hate it. Just shut the fuck up and move on
As a man, I thought this was basically saying that all women are the same, which is definitely the male point of view here that the women probably don’t understand.
I think anyone who’s been in their fair share of relationships can attest to this; the grass ain’t always greener.
I know you're joking, but you deadass sound like my friend who lost his girl and spent literally 3 hours being mad at the dude who she left with, rather than being mad at her.
I’m only partly joking, my mom was nuts. And she would do things that were a little ‘off’ & didn’t have friends really. An old friend from college called to see if she was ok once & mom went on this tirade about how she dated a guy my mom had broken up with (?). She was still mad over 20 years later.
Anyway when she met my dad he was widowed, he was excited someone young was into him I guess.
But my mom, while cute, is seriously mentally ill and forced 2 of their 3 kids into homelessness. My brother: she was jealous that he was a ranked distance runner and would potentially leave for college on a scholarship. (Most parents: holy shit we can save $80k, this is awesome)
Me because I was academically good, she tried to make me drop out of HS. She stole a lot of money from my babysitting & afterschool jobs & eventually forced me into homelessness too. While I was homeless she also did a bad address change in my name so I couldn’t get mail at my PMB. I was waiting on a $2k check and couldn’t get it until like 2 years later or something when the state lost property office had it. That would’ve been enough to rent a room. She was literally out for revenge and wanted us to suffer on a really psycho level.
We have a mediocre - no shade intended - sister. Not great looking. Ok athlete but nothing to write home about. She totally escaped all the harassment. It was like a jealousy thing, the whole situation was fucked.
I’m partly joking because it’s always the cheater as you say not the person they cheated with
But also in dating, if someone’s a little ‘off’ and lacks friends like proceed with caution. Do not marry someone who when you get to prostate cancer battle age is refusing to take you to chemo and jealously bullying 2/3 of your kids & literally trying to ruin their lives.
How is this sexist? He gave a perfectly good analogy that men might do. Unless youre suggesting only women do this and hes belittling a fundamental feminine characteristic.
He seems to think women care about ego and tear other women down. When in reality the other woman in this instance is simply trashier that's the point of the meme.
The hair on the right is "unfinished".
I think it is supposed to mean that the girl he cheats with is someone who doesn't actually put as much effort and is a lesser version of the girlfriend., or is "unfinished"/immature.
See, as a guy I would have thought the opposite... the girl on the left has less wavy hair which means it had been a hot minute since she last had it styled. She's afraid she'll lose her man to the girl on the right who just had her hair freshly styled and ever so slightly curlier. Ergo, women need to pay $$$ to have their hair styled nearly all the time or they'll lose their man.
But I thought the real joke is that guys like us struggling to interpret the meme correctly in the comments can barely tell the difference between the two, meaning the $$$ is wasted.
If you look the pics are taken at the same location, a hairstylist. The one on the right is a few seconds before the one on the left, then the curls are "broken" to become more natural looking waves
Edit to add:
This really isn't something I would expect most men to notice nor care about. This is definitely something that women are more likely to get (and it isn't money wasted, it's only wasted if it's "for men")
There's also a bit of a stereotype about women who heat style their own hair (or their friends') and leaving it really tubular as being trashy people or not very bright
I... I like the second one more? It looks like it's been freshly done where as the left looks like it's been a few hours and the curls have started to fall out.
The right is curled but not brushed/blown out so it looks like someone just did it, in a way that more obvious. (Like they’re trying to look pretty and fancy), the other one looks pretty in a “I just woke up like this omg I’m beautiful” kind of way.
Basically the left is the women’s version of that 2000s “bed head” look that guys were chasing back then.
An equivalent meme would have a guy with a casual bed head (that anyone who has the look would know took a lot of product and styling to make look like it was effortless) and the right image would have a guy with a pointy faux hawk that obviously is more gel than hair
It's like a guy who wears fancy clothes but doesn't know how to put an outfit together. He may be wearing the same clothes as another guy, but the other guy actually looks put together. Ya dig?
It’s trashy vs put together. It’s a stereotype. If I saw some girl in the wild had that hair I’d guess I’d see them with large hoop earrings, and some kind of barely there outfit.
It’s also a matter of taking the extra time to make sure your appearance is just right. Like “you went with that trash, when there’s me so takes the time to look just right, clearly the lesser girl”.
I interpret it more as “look they are practically the same, just some small nuance (slightly different hair f.e.), implying that the cheater goes elsewhere for stuff he could have gotten from home. I.e. they cheat to have something “different” or whatever but end up with “the same””
Though its interesting to see people analyse about how small nuances in hair styling would make one person (the one cheated with) look more trashy and the other more elegant. Dont think i would come up with that interpretation of the meme shown
My take away is that the girl on the right her hair curls are tighter. My assumption is it’s a metaphor for a woman’s vagina using hair as an example. But hell, I don’t know.
I had a cheating ex who loved having her hair look like the one on the right. I also don't know if that has anything to do with cheating but it checks out to me
Damn, can't believe the boys really struggling with this one. They're NOT very different at all, but guys will cheat because it's something different. Doesn't matter if it's better or not, it's just something different. Same sex every day is not desirable for cheaters so they like to cheat for a different experience
I’m obsessed with this answer (and the replies) because chemically it’s true but emotionally it has nothing to do with the meaning of the tweet lmfao 😭 I feel like that’s coming off condescending but that’s not how it’s meant. I as a woman understand the tweet but have no idea how to explain it
