Scorcher
// 16th July
I’ve got myself into a really useful habit.
Whenever I meet a girl friend I don’t see more often that once a fortnight, I say, “Hey, your hair…”.
Because I never notice. And it’s important to notice. Well, they think it is anyway. A lot can hang on it.
If she looks at me with furrowed brow I just squint a bit, as if the light has tricked me, and say, “Oh, nothing”. If she smiles and starts babbling about couture, feathering, flecks, and mallam streaks, then I smile, tune out, and congratulate myself on this useful habit I’ve got myself in to.

Good habit, its a shootable offense to miss a change in hair in a lady.
A good line too is, ‘You look lovely, did you do something with your hair?’ Double complement!

I got myself in trouble the other night with my sister because I didn’t notice. And I’d spoken to her earlier before she went to get it cut.
She also apparently bumped her head on a door and felt a bump on her forehead.
I amused myself for the rest of the evening, which was her engagement dinner, by awkwardly glancing up at her forehead during talking to her, so she was self-concious about it.

Boy, you are a dill. by making it known that you are in this habit you have spoilt it for everyone who does this.

Heheh. It’s funny, because boys think girls don’t notice that they’re only pretending to notice.

tristan, you accidentally put a space between ‘girl’ & ‘friend’

Insincere sincerety is like a lie.

insincere politeness is surely the best form of communication ever?

If you like living a lie, hayo.
It’s wrong to just be taking potshots, hopeing one day you’ll get it right. If you can’t genuinely tell if a girl has changed an element about her (ie. her hair), then I wonder what the point is of complementing them on it.

The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you’ve got it made.

So, as making daily comments about hair is frowned upon,
Is it okay to create a huge database cataloging every change ever seen on the person? that way you can extrapolate a model for when you should make which comment. (she last went to the hairsalon x days ago, so be on the lookout for change the coming x days.)

I’m definitely in favour of exploring Hayo’s idea.

I second Hayo’s idea. Ok, that means the motion is passed: Hayo, in the words of Picard- “Make it so!” :)
