Imagine a world where people never see their own image. In such a world, could they be vain about their looks?

maybe after seeing a number of people they would realize there were some people who were more pleasing to look at and some who were less, and would eventually long to see how they looked and since they couldn't, they would probably be more vain than us people with mirrors, because htey didn't exactly KNOW how pretty or unpretty they were.

Hmm, well, I dont think they'd be able to compare to those around them, becfause they'd never seen themselves, so they wouldnt have anything to go by.
And by the same token, it probably wouldnt be a concern because the concept wouldnt exist; therefore no-one would particularly consider it.
So, yeah, people would probably be quite a bit less vain about their looks, in that case.
Although I imagine it would be difficult to eradicate all reflective surfaces- including puddles.

So in this way a whilst a guy is seeking a bigger half they're observing potenial acquaintances and one ingredient that triggers them is looks. the place as for a girl they're attarcted to looks yet they choose how properly that guy could proceed to exist. i.e women could be greater fascinated in the prevalent boy or the chief of group, the guy who's focal factor farther the guy on the lower back, who must be the amazing guy interior the international. Its only the comparable for adult men, however the seem at looks.

There will always be a possibility to look on their image because they are water around them that could confirm on their own image.
Taking into account on your question, weell, you are correct fro after all they have no idea what is all about image.

If they never saw what they looked like, I would think that they would picture themselves to look like the people around them--though, those would not all look the same. They might compare the color and size of their hands, etc., but would have no clue as to their facial or body qualities.

Yes... it is possible to be vain based on feedback from others.

Yes. They would depend on how they looked in each other's eyes. It would be common to consistantly groom your friends and vice versa.
