does it mean that i am vain, just because i care about my looks?

tall babes
little star* asked:

i’m 20, and as you see i have redhair and hazel eyes. i’m only 5’3 but have a great body that i am proud of. 36c-22-34. i watch what i eat, and have to confess i really dont work out much. and yes, i luv to wear clothes that i can show off my body. i am short so i luv wearing tall stilettos because i feel confident and yes, i feel ****. i been told that i am pretty, beautiful and adorable by girls, and sexy, a hottie, a **** and stone fox by guys. yes, i luv the way i look, yes, i like being considered hot and no i dont put down other girls, i just want to take care of myself. does that make me vain and conceded? i have a friend who i’ve know through high school, she was my bff, and we used exchange clothes, shoes because we wore the same size in everything. well i wear a size 6, but she somehow got her 7 feet into my 6 stilettos LOL. anyway, we started college together and while i stayed the same, 105lbs, she gained the freshman15 in the dorms which turned to be more like the freshman 25 by the end of the first year. she lost like 15lbs before this summer and looked really good but she gained it all back with probably 10 more additional lbs. i never put her down i helped her stay on her diet when she needed help, but its not my fault she let herself get fat, sneeking junk food into the apartment and stuff. she moved out and wont talk to me, and now everyone thinks that i kicked her out because i’m just so vain and conceded and didnt want anything to do with her because she got fat. its not fair. and i’ll ask again, just because i take care of myself and i am proud of the way i look, does that make me vain and conceded?
Rick you wrote “you will one day be heavy especially after having kids and you being short won’t help matters any.” and that is just plain mean! and you basically called me crazy. why? Am i that bad a person that you want to wish that on me?

    being vain means you think everything is all about you, a narcissist if you will. caring about how you look is different than being vain because when your vain your practically obsessed with yourself.

    I didn’t read what all you had to say after (looks?) so my answer is no, it does not mean you are vain to care about your looks.

  3. Paigerooski - April 3rd, 2010 at 10:45 am

    Yes, you are definitely vain. Everyone cares what they look like, but from reading your little rant here, it is obvious that you care MORE than the normal person and TOO MUCH. And you’re 20?????? even worse…sorry ****.

    i don’t think caring about your looks is vain at all. and even if it was, i don’t know anybody who doesn’t care about how they look at some time or other, so you’re part of a big club!

    No it just means you were blessed with a nice body and are doing what you can to keep it that way…good for you girl…

    btw 22 inch waist, that is hot…

    No it does not.

    Actually now that I think about it, your question is making you seem vain. If you talk to people about your looks like that, they’re going to think you’re vain.

    And your friend stopped talking to you? Then I’m assuming you are a little too proud..

    And there’s a difference between confident and vain. If you were just confident you wouldn’t have given us so many details about your body measurements and the compliments you get.

    the way you talk sounds conceited. but i dont really think that you are. there’s nothing wrong with being confident.. its cocky that is annoying.. cocky people who act better than everyone. i dont think there is any problem with maintaining yourself well and feeling pretty. not at all. and i dont think when people post questions on here asking if they are pretty or what they can do to look better they should be asked why they are so vain and told to get a life. EVERYONE CARES. EVERYONE WANTS TO FEEL PRETTY. Its just a shame when people can’t feel pretty because of what other people say. Thats all

    No, being confident and feeling good about yourself speaks volumes about you in a good way. Maybe your friend felt insecure when she compared herself to the way you take care of yourself and felt kind of intimidated. Maybe she just needs some space for right now to get herself together. Maybe you can call her or send a message to her somehow that you are concerned that she has misunderstood the reason why she was kicked out.

    no not at all. being vain is like only caring about yourself. and being obsessed with yourself, if you will. you don’t sound vain at all. you sound like your just comfortable in your skin. nothing wrong with that.

    Just because you care about your looks doesnt mean your conceided, but even if your not i’d apologize, its not worth loosing a friend over.

    Do you have another friend that wants to loose weight? Have her do weightwatchers with her or sumthing. Diets are easier with friends.

    or you 2 can just go on walks together, to stay in shape for you, and for her to loose weight.

    Join a college sport together something!

    Try to get her back(:

    Hope this helped.

    Sincerely,
    Kim!

    I think that you are too worried about how you look and feel rather than your, supposed, BFF !!! No wonder why she moved out and won’t talk to you. You probably kept SH*%ing on her.

  13. SilentlyAwaits - April 19th, 2010 at 6:50 am

    If I understood all of this, she’s only 135 lbs!!
    Whats wrong with that?!?!?! calling her fat (even not directly but saying “because she got fat) is definately not friendly… i’d say its rude and thats all im gonna say

  14. Girl - April 20th, 2010 at 9:18 am

    no its good to care about your looks just one get too full of yourself………

  15. Rick M - April 21st, 2010 at 8:29 am

    It sounds like you only care about yourself and don’t really care about other people. That is what is making you conceded …it has nothing to do with your looks. It sounds like you base your friendships solely on what they look like and yes that is vain and conceded and frankly makes you sound like a very shallow empty person. If you think that you will always be a “hottie” you are in for a rude awakening. Your body will start going through substantial changes starting at age 25-30 and it isn’t that far away. Do you have overweight relatives? How does your mother look? Aunts? You could be blessed and always be thin, but then again you could end up with body issues just like most of the people in the world so I suggest you start taking stock in who you are as a person “interests” “goals” and not just in what you look like because odds are that you will one day be heavy especially after having kids and you being short won’t help matters any.
    Just the fact that you asked this question in such length …and talking down about your ex bf because she eats and acts like a normal girl should be a BIG RED FLAG! Maybe you need therapy or read some self help books because you sound really twisted in your thought process.

    P.S. You don’t look pretty to me so seriously try reading a self help book or two

    No, you aren’t vain for caring about your looks. but you are vain for writing a detailed description of yourself on yahoo.answers just wanting people to write and tell you how wonderful and pretty you are.

    Non-vain people don’t have to digging for compliments like you’re doing.

  17. Mom2dm - April 23rd, 2010 at 8:59 pm

    No, I don’t think caring about your looks makes you vain, but talking about yourself all the time does…

  18. Miss Aleneus - April 24th, 2010 at 5:32 am

    k, no just bcuz u care about ur looks doesnt mean u r vain, but u sure did get into talking about urself, huh? 36c-22-34 woah, nice but gee i wonder if any other girl knows her measurements. (is that b4 or after u… whatever :o P) i’m 5’4 105lbs and i’m guessing. all i know is that my clothes still fit, and my fave pants for over a year now r still comfy :o )
    oh, back to u, u also really got into explaining what others thought of u, both us girls and the guys, pretty, beautiful, hottie and woah, stone fox.
    i have to admit, i want ur face LOL u r really pretty.
    but someone just doesnt leave when they have someone sooo supportive of them, a real bff, you know? sooo something went down that ur not saying here. but whatever, whether ur vanity about the way you look is a problem or not, u r obviously hurt by losing a friend, and what other people think obviously does effect you, tho u try to act like u r above it all. u r vain and conceded, but u r also someone who can learn and there is still a sweety inside the hottie, and a kitten inside the stone fox.
    b good 2 urself, and have a good cry, k? it’ll all b good

  19. sarah - April 27th, 2010 at 1:03 pm

    the way ur worded this question makes me think ur vain… yea ok ur good looking but u dont have to make ureself feel better by talking about how ur friend cant stay on a diet…. a little harsh there

    Don’t ask yourself if you’re vain or not, ask yourself why you feel the need to put such question to complete strangers. The answer is simple: maybe you are. There’s nothing wrong into being pretty, and enjoying it. Teasing is a part of social interaction between the sexes. The part you question is how just staring at how pretty you are blinded you about everything else. You seem to know better what size are your friend feet than what is the exact cause of her leaving without saying you a word. And still, you keep asking about yourself.
    Psychologically, an obsession is something preventing us to live our life at fullest. So, you’re obsessed, since you spend too much time telling others and yourself how pretty you are to listen people
