I recently saw a talk show on which a woman was complaining that her husband never notices when she gets her hair done. Another lady in the audience was equally incensed about her boyfriend being so unobservant that when she went to the trouble of buying a new, cute bathing suit, he had not even complimented her on it when they went to the beach.
One by one, female audience members shared similar stories about their oblivious men. They were incensed and looking for answers from the panelist, an “expert” on male behavior.
Halfway through the program, I realized that I might be the only woman in America who adores this supposed male flaw. Perhaps it takes a fashion disaster like myself to truly appreciate that men can be unobservant creatures more often than not, but my deodorant-smudged shirt and I have benefited from this trait more times than I can count.
