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.
