Would you be insulted if your girlfriend said this to you? I'm thinking of getting a buzz cut due to thinning

hair and have been asking her opinion of what she thinks about it and have been showing her pics of different haircuts.





Her response - "You are spending so much time RESEARCHING your dam* haircut, yet you waste so much money by NOT researching important things that you buy and end up wasting money. YOU ARE SUCH A PRETTY BOY!"





You believe this?





This is an ongoing thing since she always reads Consumer Reports and researchs EVERYTHING for weeks... and annoys me asking my opinion on all these trivial purchases.





The one time I ask her for an opinion, this is what I get!





Who is in the right here?

First off i would talk to a hair stylist. I did before a major hair change and it worked out for the best. i know its a "girly"thing but it helps. Also, your girlfriend should feel privileged to be asked her opinion. Normally, we give them without question. I know i always feel privileged to know my man likes knowing my opinion on things too.


She should of been more open and understanding. Plus you can never tell if you'll like a product from consumer reports. Yes they are based on peoples opinions, but that's not YOU. that's THEM. what they want and you want are TWO different things. I hope all works out, and don't go for a buzz cut, but maybe a short cut, like possibly 2 in of hair left on scalp. My bf has the same prob, and his hair looks really good like that. I hope i helped you some, and tell your chick to well... lighten up... toodles!
Reply:I'll hazard a guess that the answer is in the middle. You need to research purchases more, she needs to less.
Reply:Perhaps you are spending too much time on the issue. Just get the buzz cut. If you don't like it, your hair will grow back. The only issue regarging hair in a relationship is to NOTICE when she does something different with HER hair and you are required to say it looks great.
Reply:she sounds like a selfish lady....I bet if you gave her an answer like that about her appearance, etc. she'd hit the roof!! I feel sorry for you!!
Reply:You both are.





She is clearly the type who wants to make sure that she's always getting the best buy for her money, and it sounds like you're a little more emotional about how you make your purchases. Neither is wrong--but these are two very different approaches to money that can cause personality conflict. My husband and I are the same way--I research stuff to death, he just goes out and gets it.





I look at it this way...our relationship is a car--he's the gas, I'm the brakes. The car can't be controlled without proper application of both. An example...I'd done all the research on the last car I bought..knew what model I wanted, what options, how much I was going to pay--everything. Still, it took him pulling me out of the house on a whim and driving me down to the dealership to actually BUY the dang car!





Before you get lost in the heat of words said in anger and frustration, I'd recommend talking to her, telling her that you recognize her frustration with your buying practices, but that you can get frustrated with her as well, and the one time you've asked for her opinion, she responded by shutting you down. Sometimes girls just need a reality check or to hear someone else's point of view for a minute.





Then, I'd start working on the fact that the two of you DO approach money differently and see if you can find that happy middle ground that successful relationships thrive on. Hope is not lost. It can work. But both of you need to respect each other for who you are and the different personality traits that each of you bring to the table.





Good luck!
Reply:Aside from your questions that ask about wife, fiance and girlfriend.





Women just think different and that is the way it is. But one thing is the same. A man is not defined by his hair and all suspect a man who worries so much about it. A man is defined by the way he acts, talks and walks.





Ok the world is full of guys with thinning hair. Some comb over, do surgery, grow the back more in the back and tease the few sprouts they have left. All in all it is not fooling anybody.





Your girlfriend doing consumer reports is buying things. Haircuts is more a women seeing self confidence issues. Just buzz it and be done with it. You will be amazed at how in day to day life how you will appear younger, neat, trim and self confident.
