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

Today, I went to the hair salon to cut 6 in. 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 you 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 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, 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

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

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.

I'm not a big fan of Proactiv, it dried my skin pretty bad. My skin is pretty sensitive, so it may work for other people. Well, it sounds like whatever you were doing was working, so if you have complexion problems, stick with it!

all of you saying he must think that proactive works... mabie he thought it didnt work but that saying that might make her feel better if by some chance it did work im a guy and proactive worked for this one big zit i had, i havent used it since finally, dont expect men to notice something like that, because if we did then we'de make remarks like "why is my gun not on the left peg anymore, or what happened to the soap! or WHAT THE HELL WOMAN, USE A COASTER!!! the one time you forget and op, deep down did you REALLY expect him to notice if you deemed it necessary to prompt him?

Guys honestly don't notice that stuff enough to make a comment about it. By asking so blatantly it's fishing for compliments. I sympathize that boys are oblivious, but don't keep your expectations about their perceptiveness too high.

YDI for setting him up like that. He couldn't just say "I don't know, what did you do?" because that would imply that you didn't look better, which left him with the task of figuring out exactly what you'd done. Even if it was really obvious that you got your hair and eyebrows done and dressed up, you were still forcing him to point out one of your shortcomings.

You're both sort of socially inept: He's inept for giving you that sort of insensitive response. You're inept for asking a stupid question like "notice anything different?" You deserve each other!!!!
