Disadvantage: I'm vain
Andy007:

its cool if you arent vain. i cant imagine how that must be. :-\

Hey Andy,
Vanity is a pretty common trait in 20 somethings actually ... (& it's amazing how many people think that they look younger than they actually do) but fortunately vanity (like hair) often diminishes with age & experience! O0
Tyler:
Great response ShySlyGuy!

ya, good response. i think people in young years, like kids and teenagers, dont have skills, they dont have money, they dont have experience , they dont have anything but their young age and their looks. im still like this. im not very far in my developement and i never was in my life. so i need to compensate this with my looks.
JohnMont:
I think we're all vain to various degrees. You don't think all the guys in here are concerned with their looks (i.e. VAIN !?!?) You have to keep it in proportion, though. And head shaving is kind of paradoxical. Its very un-vain to shave off all your hair, saying, I don't need to keep this stuff (hair being the focus of so many people's vanity) .. Yet many shave because they believe (hell, they KNOW) it will improve their looks-- so of course it's done with vanity. But beyond vanity is the knowledge that you have cast aside THE most conventional idea of what good looks are all about (a full head of hair) .
Andy, my advice to you, for what it's worth, is to try to formulate a self image based on what you think the most desirable traits in a man are. Then cultivate those traits. For most, a no-nonsense, straightforward image (often with buzzed / shaved hair) corresponds to the idea of a man as forthright, hardworking, uncomplaining, unself-centered. ..... So don't just cultivate an image; cultivate an attitude/ mindset that GOES WITH the image.
