A word that annoys me 'Vanity'

[sausage]

If I look at it from another view....Breast Implants. I can only understand people getting breast implants if they have very small/non-existent breasts as that would cause someone to be insecure. But when someone that already has decent sized breasts gets implants I think that is going too far as I think that has nothing to do with insecurities. You can call that vain. I think some girls do that to become glamour models or to get more attention from guys. NOTHING to do with insecurities.

But when someone worry's or feels like they need to do something about their appearance because of insecurities then you should never call them Vain.

I suppose I don't think women should get implants that have small breasts as I am very comfortable with small tits, I would prefer small boobs to fake boobs but I would not call someone vain for getting them done if it was to make them feel better about themselves.

I am guessing that some of these people that make these 'vain' comments could be women that are quite happy or comfortable with bald men like I am quite happy being with a girl with small boobs. I guess they don't see why men should worry or waste money on treatments. But again calling us baldies vain is wrong and they should think before saying so.

Exactly. Being concerned about your appearance and wanting to look your best isn't vanity; it's ordinary human nature. Being obsessed with your looks is vanity.

Let me begin with saying **** people. But yeah, it gets me mad too when I hear garbage like that, or when they say it's "just hair".... And yeah, the vast majority of people who say stupid stuff like this have full heads of hair. But I guarantee you if they were the ones losing their hair they'd be jumping off bridges and they'd be as miserable as we are if not even more so.

I think if there's one elective surgery or treatment that should NEVER be seen as "vain" it IS hair transplantation and the treatment of hair loss. In fact, I do believe it is far from being a cosmetic or elective surgery it IS a medical necessity to many of us. I'm sure most of us here KNOW the damage this god damn curse has done to our lives and we all know the amount of tremendous suffering that we go through every minute of our lives. That's why I believe HT should be covered by insurance because like I said there are many of us here who have severe depression and anxiety because of our hair loss and just about every aspect of our lives has been affected by this curse.

Another thing, every single human being -unless someone is retarded or a drug addict- WANTS to look good. Looking good makes you feel good and I haven't the slightest doubt about that. What I find weird is accepting your baldness and not doing anything about it -or at least trying. Having that bald hairless spot where there used to be hair is just weird and ugly and I don't think doing anything one can to avoid that look should be seen as "vain".

The hypocrisy of people is beyond me. Every single one of us wants too look younger and people do all kinds of things (dyeing hair, breast implants, face lift, and let's not forget the endless hours at the gym lifting weights...) to keep their youthful looks yet doing something about your hair loss is vain somehow.
So, I conclude by saying, again, **** people.

Exactly, **** those people.

I just had to get it off my chest and I am sure I will continue to see these 'vain' comments on any article relating to hairloss in which dumbass's can post.
