Are you vain?

[el Chi]

So - are you? Honestly now.
Have you ever made yourself late because you were making sure you looked damn fine?
Ever checked your reflection in a car/shop window to make sure your hair's still ok or whatever.
Or maybe you just don't care, and consider people who are particularly bothered about how they look to be arrogant, conceited morons?


Personally I'd say I am. It's not one of my best characteristics, but I have to freely admit that there's a fair degree of narcissism going on in the Chi camp.
It basically stems from years of thinking I was unattractive/actually being particularly unattractive, to realising that actually, people wanted a taste. Ssssoooo, that'd be vanity borne out of insecurity. Surprise surprise.

 

[Cormeh]

Absolutely. Most guilty due to the fact I always gel my hair before I leave the house, no matter where I'm going.

And especially when you're out on the piss, got to make sure you've still got some sense of self image - just in case....

EDITNESSNESS: I voted "I accept I'm heinous". I try and make the best of what I've got.

*Continues stuffing crotch*

 

[mindless_moder]

first guy too vote! woot!
i really dont care about my appearance but if im running out of the house i give my hair a once over and tuck my shirt . lol

 

[OCybrManO]

My bathing/grooming habits (or lack thereof) would disgust lesser men...

 

[el Chi]

What does that mean? You bathe a ridiculous amount, or ridiculously infrequently?

 

[TechnoHippyChic]

"You're so vain... you probly think this thread is about you"

 

[OCybrManO]

What does that mean? You bathe a ridiculous amount, or ridiculously infrequently?

I'll leave that to your imagination.

 

[Raziaar]

Do you bathe in sheeps blood or something?

 

[el Chi]

I'll leave that to your imagination.

I wouldn't if I were you, but whatever.

 

[Drackard]

I do take care of my appearence however i am not too bothered.

I'm ridiculously vain

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I'm ridiculously vain

Goes without saying Hal I like to look good tbh, makes you feel better when your out, gives you some confidence, but not to the extent of being vain and looking in the mirror all the time. Hectic love is sweet.

 

[3ssence]

I have to admit to being quite vain myself

:|

 

[Dalamari]

I care about my clothing, but not really, I just try to not look like a hobo when I go out.

 

[cherry]

i'm not vain at all.

just devastatingly gorgeous.

 

[short recoil]

Don't really care what i look like much, i do get obsessed with my health though.
The girls seem to like me so i can't be too ugly.

 

[RandomX]

I don't care what I look like at all. I'm on the computer so much I might as well not have a face anymore, anyway! Oh well.

 

[JNightshade]

I can be kind of vain. I've caught myself checking myself out in the window a few times... but for the most part, I'm not.

 

[Uriel]

I'm pretty vain sometimes, but Im not an a-hole by any means.

 

[ríomhaire]

No, I don't even look in the mirror most mournings, and then it's usualy to check my teeth.

 

[Uriel]

No, I don't even look in the mirror most mournings, and then it's usualy to check my teeth.

Whoa! That's actually pretty cool. Im always looking in the mirror, doesnt help the self esteem very well.

 

[Greatgat]

In these parts, I'm known as Vainy McVainerston.

So yes.

 

[Jintor]

I like to keep myself at least looking vaguely human, so yeah.

 

[Steven]

I'm not botherd at all, however I do have a great intrest in what other people think of there apperance as it really, really effects me.

 

[venturon]

Not at all. I'm artery.

 

[Ren.182]

I usually take care of my appearance, but I'm not that bothered.

Brush my hair before i go out and make sure i clean my teeth twice a day. Don't want to look like a scruff.

 

[3ssence]

Brush my hair before i go out

in case it engulfs your head

:E

 

[Evo]

Not too bad really, spend about 5 mins last night gettin ready before i went out

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I'm so vain, I probably think this poll is about me.

 

[CptStern]

you're so vain!

 

[ComradeBadger]

Not too bad really, spend about 5 mins last night gettin ready before i went out

I spend about 30 minutes each night:


Get changed
Brush Teeth
Shave
Deoderise
Aftershave
Rinse hair, put in heat protection stuff
Dry hair
Straighten fringe and back of hair
Comb fringe through and re-straighten
Put gel/wax combo stuff on top and back of hair
Palm it until it's up properly
Shake head

Well, from the pics of you, that seems to fit your Indie image i am labelling you with for the purpose of this post

I am a rabid Metal head, and along with that i don't like to waste time gettin ready, also hair is short atm so didn't need to spend 5 mins gettin enough gel in it.

For me:

Piss
Take of Metallica top, Lynx, put on shirt
Brush teeth
Chuck some gel in hair
Grab phone, keys, wallet
Put on leather jacket
Go out


Probs more than 5 mins, but not long at all


<3

 

[ComradeBadger]

Yeah, I've been described as an indie kid

I take pride in my scruffyness

 

[CrazyHarij]

I'm vain as hell, if I had more money I'd be spending it all on clothes. And lately my entire reality consists of working out and eating right. Has good results though

 

[el Chi]

It's like my life! but the exact opposite! :|

Rub in hair gum to make it look a bit shagged whilst being dragged backwards through a hedge, but just a bit.

I take pride in my scruffyness

My sentiments exactly.
Down the last dregs of gin whilst housemates get pissed off as the cab waits.
I loves goings outs, like.

Except not tonight. Tonight I wear a suit. With Allstars, but a suit(ish) nonetheless.

 

[Murray_H]

I did an exam in a suit on tuesday, it was so much fun I think I failed the exam.

[Boogymanx]

I am vain. Not that it helps, but meh.

 

[Blackghost905]

I dont spend more then 5 or 10 min. on the way I look.

 

[CyberPitz]

I like to think I could dress a certain way and look good, but I will always remember that I'm hideous.
