Today, I got my hair done, eyebrows waxed, and a new expensive dress to impress my boyfriend. When I got home I asked him if he noticed anything different about me. He looked at me for one minute before asking, "Did you finally start using Proactive?" FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went to the hair salon to cut 6 inches off my hair. When I got there, I decided to get my upper lip waxed for the first time. When my boyfriend came to pick me up for our date, I asked if he noticed anything different about me, the first thing he said was, "I see you got rid of your mustache." FML
Today, I was excited that my new skin care regimen seemed to be paying off. I told my husband of 35 years about it and asked him if I "looked good". He looked me over as if I were a stalled engine and said, "You look less stressed. That's good, but I mean… You still look like yourself." FML
Today, I got a birthday present from my boyfriend's mom. It was ProActiv acne solution. He tried to make me feel better by explaining it's because she wants to be able to include me in family pictures. FML
Today, I got in the shower, washed my hair and shaved because I wanted to look great for a big date. I got out, brushed and dried my hair and spent an hour putting it up in the perfect hairstyle. Running late, I quickly put on my new dress, looked down and realized i had only shaved one leg. 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 woke up next to my boyfriend. He gazed at me, stroked my cheek, and said, "Christ, you really need something for this acne." FML
Today, I bought an expensive dress because it was me and my boyfriend's one year anniversary, and he was taking me somewhere nice. When he saw me in the dress, he looked at me, laughed and said, "Seriously, what are you wearing?" FML
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
Today, I went with my boyfriend to the optometrist for him to buy contact lenses for the first time. He said the detail was much better than glasses. I excitedly asked him if he could see my freckles better now, and after a long and disappointed look at my face, he said "Nope, just more acne." FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me if I wear makeup much. Expecting him to say something about my natural beauty, I replied with an honest, "No." His smiled softly, gently squeezed my shoulder, and said, "Maybe you should." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's the secret to proactive. It shapes your eye brows and cuts your hair.

Would you rather him say, "I'm glad you finally got your eyebrows waxed. Those things were starting to look like caterpillars."? Us guys don't know about every little thing that you girls put into stuff like this, we just know that you did something. All we really notice is that something about you is prettier.

YDI for fishing for complements. Guys don't always notice things right away, but we do eventually. Did you even give him a chance to look at you and notice it himself before asking?

I'm surprised there aren't more comments from guys saying what you should do to ACTUALLY impress a bf. I'm a girl, and I know getting my eyebrows waxed or an inch cut off my hair won't even register on a guy's radar. You want to impress him? Buy him that video game/car accessory/movie/etc he's been talking about wanting forever. Don't drop money on an expensive dress: the only way he'll see it is when you model it, or if he has to drop a bunch of money on somewhere fancy to give you an excuse to wear it! Spend the money on expensive lingerie instead: that WILL get his attention! Or cook his favourite meal for no reason (if that's something you don't do all the time) or get him tickets for his fave sports team. I find most girls are so selfish in relationships; they get pissed if guys don't put thought into it and get them great gifts, but their idea of "impressing" a bf is to go do a bunch of stuff he won't even notice unless he's gay/works for Extreme Makeover? Seriously, get to know your man, then do something he'll actually LIKE. He will appreciate you tons more, trust me.

Isn't that a compliment, though? Your face looks clearer than it used to...

Proactiv does work...so do heavy duty acne meds, my fiance has used both. By the way, fyl because your boyfriend is such a dick

Did you ever notice anything different about your fiance besides the acne?

Yeah ok, maybe her bf's a dick. But then again, maybe SHE shouldn't be asking open ended questions like that. Guys HATE IT when girls do that... Simply because we know if we get the wrong answer (which we usually do) you all flip a shit, well a lot of you do anyways. Some of you don't which is nice... lol
