Ok, as a man, I can see that these are two different hairstyles. Visually, it's obviously the same person but with slightly different configurations of hair. Where I'm lost is that this meme seems to imply that one is better than the other. Which is the superior look? I don't know. That doesn't mean I cannot differentiate between the two, it means I am out of touch with whatever is stylish at the moment. There's nothing objectively more or less beautiful in these photos. Maybe one style is easier to maintain, and the difference is supposed to sugest that one of them takes better care of their hair? Or maybe they are too fussy and vain to a fault? This is specialized knowledge that can only be shared via communication. You cannot discover it on your own like some scientific truth. You must learn it from someone else who knows.

The people who are snarky about people not knowing something like this are the worst sort of snobs. Not only are they mocking people who haven't been included in the secret, they are wasting an opportunity to share knowledge to do it.

I am a biological woman. I identify as such. I don't know what the same person plus 30+ minutes with a curling iron has to do with cheating. Effort? Vanity? This is far, far beyond me somehow. I am also very old so there's that.

.

the actual answer is that the curls are brushed which is essentially a minor thing that make some people feel like they're better than others, hence why the unbrushed version is the version that the guy would cheat on (worse) and the main girl is "better"

the different ideas in the comments are KILLING me though. I think the 'tight curls = tight grip on dick' theory is the funniest one

I suspect the hidden meaning is that guys apparently cheat on people who are fundamentally no different to the person they're cheating on.

The implication being that guys cheat for the sake of it, rather than because there's a difference in the person they're with.

For clarity, I'm not saying I believe any of that. I think it sounds like utter nonsense. No doubt it's true for some people, but I think applying it to a wider group isn't very reasonable.

What in the Victorian over complicated aristocracy social rules is this bullshit?

No clue.
But it looks better on the left imo.

My guess: Guys don't give a fuck about who looks better. They will cheat on you with anyone, even if there is no perceivable difference between you and who they are cheating with. The point of cheating is to cheat.

I won't even pretend I know where to begin. Same girl, different hairstyle, that's all I can gather, no clue on possible hidden meanings

I'm a woman and I don't understand this My immediate thought is something about the tighter curls on the right implying she has a tighter grip on his dick

Maybe it's boys cheat with women similar to their actual girlfriend?

I'm betting that in the image on the right she's wearing hair extensions.

I think it's the tightness of the curls

He will cheat with a cheaper-looking, tackier wannabe of the girlfriend/spouse.

The cheaper tackier girl had to try emulate the look of the original in order to attempt to be on the same league, which she’s never be.

Since he’s not cheating with a "better version" of yourself, it’s a bit reassuring for a woman’s ego; it’s just "sex" and he’s not gonna leave you for that slut.

The man’s still a stupid idiot for cheating though.

I dunno anything about styling longer hair, but I'm going to guess that the tighter curls on the right look less messy. But it does seem like a pretty toxic attitude displayed.

My take on this is that Jaz k is gaslighting all of us.

Looks like natural curl pattern vs manually hand twisted curls maybe?

The joke is for the in group and we're not in it.

I'm not gay and I do see a slight difference between the two, but the difference is pretty minimal IMHO. What this person sees, I have no clue. It's significant for them, though.

In this thread: men who don't understand women or hair.

The point is that the other girl is not that much better looking and he still cheated.

I assumed that "he" is cheating on his partner with this girl. Like, it's the same person, because this is the person he's having an affair with.

Obviously if I don't understand the joke then it's crossposted engagement bait. And I'm sticking to that mindset.

The curls on the left look natural and fluffed up, the curls on the right look stiff and like they were done in a hurry.

Honestly it just looks like before sex hair and after sex hair. Or someone with straight hair immediately after curling it vs. 5 minutes later. So if he cheats on the somewhat touseled hair person with the I Just Did My Hair person, he'll just end up with a somewhat touseled hair person again. Maybe even if he goes to coffee with the picture #2, when she leaves she will have the hair in the first image.
