Just spoke to a friend of a friend, female,who said I was acting a bit vain to be concerned about my hair loss and lost the rag. "Most MEN deal with it ok, so should you. It's really vain"
I couldn't believe her double standards. I had to leave to catch a train, but she's actually really pissed me off and more so because I couldn't fire back at her.
I met her in the library and she noticed me looking at this site and then began to tell me I was vain etc and is that why you wear hats on wet days or when you are runnning late etc..
It got me thinking though I know we all age and I can accept a few laughter lines and other such aging. I am 28 after all. The 'Manning Up' as she put it etc, there are so many people who are shaved headed or Norwood 7's in the UK who look and to be frank disgusting, not necessary their hairloss but their skin from years of probable alcohol, bad diet and not using tanning lotion, overweight.. Is that what manning up is? Maybe it is vain then, because I don't want to look like that.. I know that I'll end up keeping the hair very short/shaved but why trying to use concealers, or styling it a certain way at 28 is vain, when I know that I'll probably be bald in the future.
What's so wrong with wanting to enhance your apperance? It's not even anything most of us control (hair loss). As a white male, I'm undecided on the shaved head look. I've done it before and weighing up the comments from People I've had, it's mostly positive comments, but what if I don't want to walk about looking like someone of the set of Prison Break? Why is it so vain to try and keep what hair of the NW3 diffuse thining that I have left?
I can't wait to see her again to bring it up and tell her about her foundation, mascara, nail polish, lipgloss are all attempts to be vain.
Most men accept Baldness? Is this true? I know some men who'll say they don't care about it, and then People will say they are dealing with their hair loss well and just getting on with it? How do we know for sure that they are? They may shave it off or keep it trimmed and not wear hats but doesn't necessary mean they are not beating themselves up about what they can or should do to restore the hair..
Sorry this more like a rant than anything but there's not a better place than a Hair network to rant it.
Anyone else heard or been told something similar about being vain, and 'man up' basically.
