Today, after getting an expensive haircut, I showed it to my boyfriend. Instead of saying, "Wow, those bangs look great on you" he said, "Wow, you look really good when you don't show your forehead." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I cut my bangs. When I asked my boyfriend if he liked it he said, "It's like I'm dating a new girl, this way I won't get bored with you." FML
Today, I was at the hairdresser's getting a trim. The lady doing my hair commented on how beautiful and luscious my hair was, which made me feel really good. I later overheard her telling her colleague that hair as nice as mine was wasted on someone with a face like mine. FML
Today, I was excited about showing off my new haircut. All my friends thought it looked really good and it made me look older. What did my boyfriend think? He said I look like a little girl and he was afraid to kiss me in public because he didn't want someone to think he was a pedophile. FML
Today, I tried a new hairstyle to impress a guy I like. I was pretty confident, until he took one look at me and said, "Uh... why's there an onion on your head?" So much for that. FML
Today, my bartender noticed my new haircut before my live-in boyfriend did. FML
Today, I had my hair done for the first time in 3 years. I loved it. My boyfriend told me I look like his ex. FML
Today, I showed my new haircut to my friends. One of them said, "Wow, it’s brave to try something different." I didn’t realize that "brave" was code for "bad." FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. I have a pretty bad case of dandruff, so whenever I get one, a lot of it shows. My hairstylist called to her nearby friend twice, then looked at my hair and said, "Blech" under her breath. I got glares when I walked out. FML
Today, I cut my own hair. It looks great. Absolutely professional. From the front, that is. FML
Today, my boyfriend gushed for several minutes about how amazing it is that I suddenly look hot when he takes his glasses off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

22- bangs?? Wtf. Fringe makes perfect sense. You do know what a fringe is, right? I know what bang means. And it doesn't relate to hair, that I can see.

Why does "fringe" make more sense than "bangs?" Both words have other meanings that don't relate to hair. Nothing about either word describes what hair on the forehead looks like. It's just a secondary definition no matter which word you use.

the fringe of say a table cloth hangs over the edge of the table, similarly a fringe of hair hangs over the edge, down the forehead.... Now tell me how "bangs" fits in a description of hair...

If that's how you think of it, "fringe" would make more sense to describe the back and side of the hair, that's the part that hangs down. "Bangs" fits simply because that's another definition of "bangs." How does "bang" fit the description of hitting something and making a noise? That's just the definition, it doesn't have to be based on anything. "Fringe" is only more reasonable to you because you're used to it.

In Australia, it's fringe.

41 "because it is" is the WORST argument ever :D

Dudes, bangs is when you cut your fringe such that it's straight. Fringe refers to just any hair hanging in front of your forehead.

"A fringe (or bangs in the United States, Canada and the Philippines) is a shaped cutting of the front part of the hair so that it is combed forward and hangs or curls over the forehead" Both mean the same thing, get over it.

Hm, let's see. We could squabble and speculate, or we could google "etymology of bangs" and find the answer in about three clicks. You're right; this is better. (If you don't agree, scroll up to 16 and read my reply.)

Lulz, I just realized 16 and 32 are by the same person. *facepalm*

Actually, dude, all hair that come from the apex of the head from eye to eye, is the fringe, no matter how it's cut. Bangs are used to describe the same area of hair, no matter how it's cut, in the USA.

ydi for spending an excess of money on a haircut. i hate when females do that. i'm a guy, i have long hair, the most a simple trim costs me is $2-$6 depending on how long it took and how much they cut off... and my hair looks just fine afterwards

Fringe is a term used by some other nationalities (British, for one). To me, 'bangs' sounds terrible.

agreed! bangs sound like something naughty....eg, GUY: "You have great bangs, what say us two get out of here ;) "

35- you should probably look up the word fringe. It is used in other contexts, but it doesn't have different meanings. Fringe DOES describe exactly what hair at the forehead looks like. Personally, I'd rather not have a bang (any meaning of) on my head. Anyway, I was just genuinely interested in how the term bang came to be used to describe hair.

42 that's exactly what I was trying to show :) I agree a bang on the head is what people get when they hit their head, doesn't sound very pretty does it :D

You should be happy to learn that you have a high forehead and now should always have a hair style that covers it or diminishes it. Now you may look good enough to dump your BF if you want!

At least now you know which hairstyle flatters your fivehead.

men are idiots and don't always have the tact some women have. I've been married 3+ years now and it took me til recently to realize this. get over it and love him for the verbal retard with the sensitivity of a rock that he is

Thanks for that wonderful comment that completely reeked of sexism. Not all men are stupid. And not all men have a hard time getting their point across. Stop making generalizations. I'm sure you'd be pissed if I said that all women were stupid, irrational, emotional creatures, huh?

#51 Yikes. Like #70 said, not all men are idiots. That's a gross generalization. And, as a woman, I can say that not all women think that men are idiots.

then since he knows what he said is wrong, kick him to the curb for being an asshole.
