Are you vain? LOL, I am...not to the point that I would compare myself to other girls and think that I'm prettier or smarter, and stuff like that...I'm mature enough to stop myself and have meet enough people to know that I'd just get my pride hurt if I do that^^
BUT, I like looking at myself, and knowing that my fiancée loves looking at me too(I don't care much for other boys, LOL, still I feel gratified when they notice)...am I right in thinking this is normal? or wrong?

Hello, marapllestiffy.
Well, I'm not vain like you. I, for example, dislike looking at my own self. When I look at me, I see an ugly face, and I realize I'm ugly, so I don't like looking. Sometimes, though, when I'm ready to go out, and I look at myself, I may be looking handsome (the judgment is from myself), and then I do look to myself with pleasure. But that's rare, once in ten days.
People sometimes will look at me, sometimes will not. Not too often, girls will tell me things when I'm walking on the streets, like "You're cute", "Look at that boy, isn't he handsome?" or even "Arrest my friend and do a search on her body".
But no, I'm not handsome, I'm actually not that ugly either. I'm mid term. But I'm lazy, when it comes to vanity. I used to not care much about my style, and now I'm trying to change that.
I believe you're absolutely right in thinking that, as long as you really are beautiful to feel desired. It is great to feel that you're looking great and that other people are paying attention to you. Though it sucks when you see an ugly person acting like if everybody was on their knees.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

LOL"Though it sucks when you see an ugly person acting like everybody was on their knees"...that made me laugh, and yes, I think that is being overboard already if a person treats those around them like slaves to do their bidding because they think they're superior(even if they are truly pretty or not)
Don't think your ugly, beauty is but a cultural mindset^^
My fiancée thinks he's ugly too but I find him handsome and tell him this all the time...

It is normal on some levels and, yes, wrong on some others. Society is a very complex mix of people, behaviors and the like. For the most part it is normal for you to enjoy being admired. But also normal for your fiance to get upset if he sees a man ogling you. Works both ways. And it is nice to enjoy looking at yourself also.

Yep, I agree. That's because all of us care about ourselves to some point. Being vain is just an over-reaction of caring for one's self.

I agree completely. The human being has a lot of faults and vanity is one of them. It is not a problem unless the vanity starts affecting other people in a negative sense, something that is quite an unnoticeable phenomenon as vanity is taken to be something benign and harmless. Little does one know that their vanity is having a negative impact on others. Even if they are made aware of it, some of them still like to stay in denial.
