My secretary just walked in with a new haircut. She asked me how I liked it. I said "I don't" Now she's pissed. Was I wrong? I should have said ...what?

My ex always loved it when I said "Nothing an electrical outlet couldn't fix"

Well, there is a thing called tact. I dont know why the haircut doesnt look good, but you could have just said it is so different it is a shock to my system. Let me get use to it and I will get back to you.

I am sure she did. Not.

Gosh, Dude, I hate when I am accidentally blunt with truth!!!
Another way to put it, LIE!!!
"Jane, as lovely as that cut is, I must admit I liked it better the other way."
Nice way to deflect to the CUT itself, not on her. Same with clothes and such.

(((SKP))) Hell I started to tell her it looked like a Chia Pet experiment gone bad

Why not say, it's different than you usually
look. Probably better for a summer look?
or Wow, that's different for you!

Well, now when there's an opening for conversation, you have to bite it and apologize, without getting into the subject of hair, just say, "You know I'm a neanderthalic idiot, and you should know better than to ask me for my opinion as poop falls out of my mouth"!!

We all know you are a good guy!! I'm sure she'll bounce back and remember that, too!!

how about...."it shouldnt matter what i think,it matters what you think. its your hair"

lol let me look up neanderthalic first

My ex also appreciated it when I would say-"Nothing the hedge trimmer can't rearrange"

I'd be genuine and say in a kind voice, "It's nice, but I really like the way you used to wear it better. It was so attractive on you, brought out all your best features".

Its all in the delivery.

If she is happy with it, she'll be confident enough to take what you say in stride. If she also has doubts about the attractiveness of the cut, she may get upset and grumble, but in the end (may take time), she will appreciate your honesty. That's because women REALLY do want to look good and to be appreciated for their looks and style. They will dress to impress either men, other women, and to a lesser extent, themselves.

Boy am I glad I don't work for you!

honestly... i find it quite strange anyway that she asked... i could see a gal ask another gal in the office that she is good friends with... or her best friend or partner maybe her kids...but to go to work and ask guys if they like it to me is strange

She's my secretary Oops I mean Plant Office Administrator of 7 years

I'd be genuine and say in a kind voice, "It's nice, but I really like the way you used to wear it better. It was so attractive on you, brought out all your best features".''''''''



and no way would i ever be a man in a workplace and say this... ya never know she is mad at him about saying no.... and this is still saying no yet has sexual inuendos added.. these are the kind of ladies who might fly off the handle and press sexual harrassment charges in the workplace charges on him for not liking the haircut

yea still.... why does she care what you think about her hair?

maybe if you had it sugar coated, it would have sounded nice lol. but hey cheers

you should have just said, it makes your eyes stand out, or it makes you more noticable.. even if for the wrong reasons haha, but trust me anytime a woman asks you do i look fat, do you like this, how do i look always tell her wonderful even if its not true... esp if it is her hair because its not like she can just go change it... id suggest buying her a nice secretary gift lol
