Straighteners?

When on an Outwards Bound trip last week, I was accused of being a "poofy, vain self obsessed ponce" for bringing straighteners with me, and, actually, for having them. Are straighteners acceptable in the above situation, or, for males at all?

IMHO, straighteners are over-the-top. Who really needs perfectly coiffed hair? Is it going to change the world? I'm so sick of being made fun of because my hair isn't as pretty as that of the popular girls.

I don't have to worry about that, since I hate my hair being above half an inch in length. Its about two inches now, cause I haven't cut it in about three weeks, and its driving me crazy!

I think bringing the hair straightener is a bit much. However, how the hell is it that person's business whether you bring one or not?

And they're perfectly acceptable for males to use. Some people actually care how they look.

When I went to Outward Bound, they told me that if I didn't wear a specific type of clothing (this nylon shit) they would forcibly put it on me.

I bench about 200 maybe more, and curl 50 lbs dumbbells for fun. I told them to try it. :D

They left me alone, and I wore my military issue BDUs, which ended up helping me more than their shit would have.

normally, sure, use them. But when you're on a camping trip, who the fuck cares if your hair is straigh?

granted, he was in a cabin...which says miles in itself...but come on. It's camping. You know...nature? Bathe in a stream? Shite in a hole?
God forbid your hair isn't straight...someone might think you're unkempt while you dig your latrine.

Oh, I agreed. Bringing it out on a trip like that was a bit much. But just using a hair straightener in an every-day environment? Well, I don't see why anyone should care if someone wants to make themself look good. And that's whay I was talking about when I said "Some people actually care how they look." :D

But, well, camping? It's really not needed. But, again, if no one cares if your hair is mussed, then why should anyone care if someone wants to look good for themself? It's no one else's business if someone wants spend the extra ten minutes on their hair in the morning.

On an Outward Bound trip? WTF were you thinking???

OTOH, I haven't done Outward Bound, but I have done things that were supposed to be similar in nature. But if OB was as you describe it, it's seriously gone downhill.

I didn't either, but google is my friend.

A hair iron or hair tong is a tool used to change the structure of the hair with the help of heat. There are two general kinds. Straightening irons, used to straighten the hair, and curling irons, used to make the hair curly. Straightening irons may also be called flat irons, but not to be confused with clothes flat irons. Context usually can separate the two.

If the penalty for being a poofy, vain, self obsessed ponce was stoning, I would suspect you would be very lumpy by now.

I'm sorry, but especially if you're a guy, bringing any hair care products on a camping trip more elaborate than a comb is inexcusable. If anything, you're lucky they didn't shave you bald in your sleep.

There is nothing sexist in my statements so I dont understand your reference about women being in the kitchen.I wasn't saying it was sexist. Your views are dated. The days when "Men were men and women were women" ended around the 80's.

If a woman would have brought rollers I would call her vain and self centered.And would you call her the same for using them whenever they want? Not just on a camping trip? Because that is what you did.

So you can piss of you touchy sissy, go straighten your hair or pluck your eyebrows.You know nothing about me. At all. So don't bother trying to insult me, you'll only make yourself look more rude and obnoxious.

i need to qualify my original reply, i was in a foul mood last night. imo vanity has no place on outward bound type things simply because you're supposed to be having fun and experiencing new stuff not worrying about what you look like, and it's the most absurd environment in which to be concerned about appearence with all the mud and twigs and shit. i don't straighten my hair cuz i keep it short and when my friend decided he wanted to straighten it when it was long i looked like a sex offender, but i do pluck my eyebrows occaisionally to ward off the monobrow so i'm not against male personal grooming, but i wouldn't even think of taking tweezers to an outward bound whatsit, it just seems utterly absurd.

Aren't you feeling a little stuffy in that closet?

Seriously. I'm gay, and even I find that to be a bit much. Though it is certanly your choice to waste that kind of money and time on a bunch of dead cells. I assume you are still rather young. That kind of thing will most likely be less important to you in about 10-15 years.

I won't give my opinion on bringing a straightener to Outward Bound. I think everything has already been said.

I think bringing the hair straightener is a bit much. However, how the hell is it that person's business whether you bring one or not?

And they're perfectly acceptable for males to use. Some people actually care how they look.

On the camp? I concede its a bit over the top, but I am immensely vain, so, work it out.

As for males using them, all my friends do, why shouldn't I?

Because you shouldn't give in to peer pressure, did your parents teach you nothing?

I never intimated that I straighten my hair purely because my peers do so. I do it because it looks better, and otherwise I'd look like a wannabe Gerard Way, not a lookalike.;)

I was asked a question I gave an honest answer, I wasnt being rude.

He is a poof, and vain self centered poof.

There is nothing sexist in my statements so I dont understand your reference about women being in the kitchen.

If a woman would have brought rollers I would call her vain and self centered.

So you can piss of you touchy sissy, go straighten your hair or pluck your eyebrows.

But dont get your panties in a twist because you dont like my answer.

Actually, you were. You were immeasurably and falsely rude.

As for the allegations;

vain? yes
self-centred? I fail to see the logical progression, but yes again.
poof? erm..... not to my knowledge.

Oh yeah... because "camp" equals gay...

And, of course, a gay person can't be sexist.

YOU HAVE BOUGHT THE HAIR STRAIGHTENERS AND BY DEFINITION, THAT MEANS YOU HAVE CAUGHT THE GAY. HAVE YOU NOTICED YOU'RE MORE INTERESTED IN BOYS RECENTLY, OR HAS THE AMOUNT OF BUTTSECKS YOU HAVE RISEN SHARPLY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS? THESE ARE ALL INDICATORS THAT YOU HAVE CAUGHT THE GAY. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NO CURE FOR THIS MOST TERRIBLE AFFLICTION. DO NOT FEAR THOUGH: REPRESSION WILL ALLOW YOU TO LIVE AN UNHAPPY BUT LESS SINFUL LIFE. WHO KNOWS, YOU MAY EVEN BE PROMOTED TO ONE OF THE LESSER LEVELS OF HELL, IN WHICH YOU WILL MOST SURELY BURN FOR YOUR GROTESQUENESS.

No, hair straighteners don't make you gay, or even camp. It just means you want your hair a certain way and that you can only achieve that with some hot ceramic plates. I don't like them, but only because I think the lads hairstyles generally associated with them are shit. That said, one of my mates looks the shit with his semi-silly emo hair, although I still take the piss for appearances sake.

Thankyou. Although you are the first person in thread to appreciate that emo hair requires daily straightening.

I've seen emo hair unstraightened, up close. I have the scars. I know your pain, brother.

Do explain.

The simple fact is that my hair looks awful without straighteners, therefore I consider them indispensible.

Meh, I was just melodramatically explaining that, without the caring caress of a pair of straighteners, hairstyles designed to be straightened make the owner look awful. I mean painfully awful. Usually.

I once let a girl straiten my hair (I was drunk!) back then I had long curly hair (I was too lazy too get it cut) promptly the straightener was broke by my awesome curls

Also you colour you fringe? You must look terrible….if its blond and spiked up at the front you will have lost all my respect and admiration (well my hair is a mess so I can’t really talk)

It's especially awful, though, compared to other hairstyles. I mean, someone who just waxes their hair a bit can get away without doing their hair - it just looks like a boring haircut. A fucking great sweep-across fringe that needs to be straightened looks foolish in the extreme without some due care and attention.

Of course its not.

Sounds cool. I understand why you need a straightener better now. :cool:

Although I personally would only use it when people force me to.

When on an Outwards Bound trip last week, I was accused of being a "poofy, vain self obsessed ponce" for bringing straighteners with me, and, actually, for having them. Are straighteners acceptable in the above situation, or, for males at all?
