Poll: Are Ponytails Cool?

[StBishop]

I was in a similar situation a while ago and even though I had similar 50-50 feedback while I had the ponytail, I got 70-30 feedback in favour of short hair after cutting it off.

I'm glad that I had long hair at least once in my life, but short hair has it's advantages. It's easier to take care off, doesn't get in the way and, as sad as it is, people respect you more.
The only annoying thing about short hair is that it looks bad if you don't get a haircut frequently.

I hear that!

When I had bogan hair (Long hair) I could get it cut like, once a year, maybe twice.

Now I need a cut every fucking month.

Fuck man. That's off the charts.

OT: Chances are that it looks horrible. Keep it anyway. I had horrible long hair too, so did my brother, so did my dad, so did my uncle. Just do what makes you happy man.

I think ponytails look better on guys than girls. I am an aberration with no fashion sense, so pay no attention to my opinion.

I use my ponytail to commune with animals. Also, for sexual intercourse. In essence, I'm using my genitals to talk to wildlife.

Wait, isn't that sort of bestiality? Yay Avatar awkwardness.

Ponytails on men are so dated. It's like having a rat-tail.

Not in and of themselves, no. But if you like it, who cares?

But be prepared for people to assume you're some kind of sensitive ponytail man.

maybe i am a sensitive ponytail man!

I voted for "sometimes, depends on the wearer."

It really depends on the wearer's facial structure to be honest. Like any hairstyle, it looks good on some people and bad on others.

I tie my hair back for work.

I'm completely indifferent as to whether it's "cool" or not, I'm not even bothered if it's attractive. I look good with my hair down, while I'm working...I don't care.

Out of interest, what is "cool" these days?

 

[Cazza]

Can't really say without seeing it. Generally no, they look bad on like 90% of guys I have seen with them.

My husband stopped getting haircuts and shaving awhile ago, and to keep his hair out of his face when he's working he'll just tie it back at the nape of his neck (not really on the top of his head). At home or out and about, it just hangs free.

I don't think he really does it to be cool, he just told me he got tired of all the clipping and shaving, and what not. And that when he was on the ranch in MT, he didn't really maintain it either, and he feels much more comfortable this way. But his hair is naturally curvy and wavy, so it looks nice when it hangs free. He's also got a pretty strong beard going that he trims every once in awhile.

It's just hair. I don't have a problem with it (I actually think it's pretty handsome on him), and even if I did have a problem with it- what would he care? It's his head. Not going to nag him about it and act self-righteous about a ponytail. You want to wear a ponytail - just do it. (But for the love of geebus, keep your hair clean!!!)

As someone who used to have a pony tail before I cut my hair, I can say usually yes they are, but long hair is a pain to take care of.

 

[Astoria]

Depends of whether or not you can pull it off. Personally I think most guys can't but there are always exceptions.

 

[Eumersian]

I find that they usually don't work. Ever since I've been at college I've worn them most of the time, simply because they are convenient and they keep hair out of your face. I myself have been growing my hair since the end of the sixth grade, with the occasional trim to keep it away from my buttocks. But I've seen a few people around with them, including myself, and I don't think that they do much.

Although, they will make you look less like Jesus if that's what you're going for.

 

[InsomniacWolf]

If I ever let my hair grow that long, then yes. I think I would look good with a ponytail. I am a guy, and I think it is worth a shot.

 

[Firia]

For guys? No, absolutely not cool. There are execptions to that blanket statement out there, but even the most badass hero/villain in movies suffers from less cool with a pony tail.

If you were animated, you would be cool.

 

[Booze Zombie]

It depends. If you wear pastels... I will have to shoot you, because then you look like a stereotype.

George Carlin had a ponytail.

So ponytails are awesome.

Carlin was awesome for his randy humor. He was a poor example of cool physical appearance. He was however an exellent example of "this is how I like it, and screw you if you disagree." Well, his words would have probably been more choice. :3 So in a way you're right.

Unless you are George Carlin or my Grandpa (who looks exactly like George Carlin), probably not.

 

[skitzo van]

No. I have hair down to my nips, and I wear in a ponytail whenever I play guitar (hint, I play it a shitload) ponytails are never cool.

Depends on the person. I look ridiculously feminine with my hair pulled back in a 3-4 inch tail. In the hot summers though it's nearly required to keep hair up. Careful though, if you aren't masculine looking enough, you can be hit on *looks back at 2010 summer*
