There's just an age around 40 or 50 where women all crop their hair. Just like they all wear only pants.

Most women orient themselves exclusively on other women (and trans/effemjnate men because they mimic women). I just didn't realize that because I'm not in any girl clique. I have girlfriends, but we're a collection of girl-outsiders, so it's an unusual dynamic.

Most women are part of some female herd.

My suggestion was intended to help her have a relationship that is more than merely "fine", but I've discovered a lot of women don't want that. If they want romance, they get a new lover. And they're ALWAYS willing to grow their hair out and wear sexier clothes, for the new guy.
