The Scenario: You see a friend wearing a new hair style that looks absolutely
ridiculous. The friend respects your point of view and asks privately for
your honest opinion on the hair style. What is your response?
You tell your
friend diplomatically that you think the hair style is terrible.
You tell your
friend that you think the hairstyle is okay, but you have heard others,
many others, commenting on how awful it is.
You rave on
and on about how much you love the hairstyle. You say you wish everyone
was wearing it.
You say you
like the hairstyle, and find out the name of the hair stylist who did your
friend's hair. You then go to the hair stylist and negotiate compensation
for not telling your friend how terrible this hairstyle looks.
You
praise the
horrible looking hair, and have your hair styled the same way so your friend
is not alone in looking ridiculous.
