If the person ISNT insecure i would just use the term idiot....Anyone that will make fun of anything that might be a sensitive issue i would consider one...
If they make fun and have no clue that the other IS sensitive then thats just ignorant.
If its long time buddies and its NOT around a ton of people then sure.....thats just ribbing...which is not bad at all...but come on...How does anyone not realize when you point soemthing out infront of a crowd ( especially women ) THAT isnt right?? The pointing it out doesnt make them an insecure idiot....in front of a crowd to cause embarrasement does....
But thats just me.....

For those of you who are interested, aw33's previous post on the other forum before the transfer is below

------------------

don't know why some of us with MPB brush off others who make fun of our hair as being "insecure". It is in our nature to be funny and pull jokes on a variety of things.

Just because somebody makes fun of the misfortune some of us are stuck with, it doesn't mean we should call them insecure. Sure there are those individuals who are truly insecure and do pull this act, but many people pull jokes like these and they aren't all just a bunch of insecure "idiots".

I know that if I had a full head of hair and if one of my buddies was balding, I'd most likely pull the occasional joke on his hair. Being his friend I wouldn't do it in a crucial situation (him being next to the girl of his dreams) and I wouldn't overdo it.

And I definitely wouldn't strike back with a remark on his short-comings, that would just make it seem like he really got the wind out of me with his regard.

I also agree with hrvoje in that, if you are concealing your MPB with a spray or if you have gotten an HT, you shouldn't be embarrassed about it and always try to keep it in the dark. Imagine what 80% of women would look like without makeup (probably like me, which is not a good thing for a woman), yet you don't see them being embarrassed about using makeup. I STRONGLY believe that if you use or do something that is helping you to positively improve your appearance, confidence and self-esteem, you should never be embarrassed about it.

I'm 20 and whenever I get any sort of recommendation about my NW3 MPB, I just tell the person, "hey don't worry about it, it is temporary and I will have myself an HT soon".

My opinions.
