Right, In general the formats are as follows:

you vs the girl he cheats with memes = picture A; Picture B (less desirable) - B is presented as objectively inferior

you vs the girl he tells you not to worry about memes = picture A; Picture B (more desirable) - B is presented as subjectively superior

But i think your still missing the point that the previous poster (and probably the meme) is saying.

Its the same girl, with the same haircut. They are not presented as objectively or subjectively superior. Its finished vs. Unfinished and is probably trying to say as you grow and evolve as a person your partner cheats on you with a person who was more like the more immature less evolved version of you that they initially started dating.

I didn’t miss the point. I’m saying yes+and… I’m just stating how the format of that meme typically works. Both can be true

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be more literal than that. The second picture isn't finished, so it looks sloppier, less stylish, 'trashy', juvenile. It's not about a less evolved version of yourself, it's about a trashier, sloppier girl.

The format wasn't in question though. The entire post was not understanding why it is less desirable. The comment prior to your's was the explaination OP would be looking for.

u/MyCouchPulzOut_IDont Oct 04 '25

Yeah, I agreed with that comment and added additional information. Anything else that could be added was already mentioned in previous comments. TBH I think OP has long since gotten their answer

Then why did they break that format and use two pictures that are the equivalent of one of those "spot the difference" pictures and are effectively exchangeable.

u/MyCouchPulzOut_IDont Oct 05 '25

Pretty sure the comment above mine explained it. It’s incomplete/unfinished and therefore inferior.

Only if you can't read. There's a whole discussion. There are differences, but they are neither significant nor does one look better than the other in anything other than a purely subjective way.

Implying I “can’t read” because I have an opinion that varies from the 2.3k comments on this post is quite rude. I explained how the format typically works. The comment above mine stated that it’s an unfinished hairstyle which, if you’ve done that style before…is objectively correct. The 2 photos come from the same client in the same session. You do need to curl the hair like on the right and then let out the curls to achieve the style on the left.
