Poll: Are Ponytails Cool?

[Merkavar]

cool comes from with in. it comes from being confident and unafraid.

so its up to the individual to make the pony tail cool or uncool

 

[Vault101]

When I was young I use to always do it...I hated my hair and having it out I felt naked

I was finally able to wear my hair out and feel comfortable when I first went to uni where no one knew me so no one would comment on it

oh and hair straghteners, they are my saving grace

I wear it out all the time now except its getting annoying long

as for pny tails on guys I think it depends on the induvidual

 

[Conza]

They are... about 1% of the time, otherwise you have the chance of looking like a freelance w*nker - good luck to you. Also, short back and sides doesn't require a seperate towel, or a hair dryer, or serious concern when it comes to hair products (unless you're 13 and spike your hair with gel).

 

[Mikeyfell]

Ponytails are awesome.

they make anyone 2 points sexier
Even old guys with male pattern baldness, it's better than a comeover

 

[BabyRaptor]

Naw. Wear it down.

 

[ethaninja]

They've been out of style since the late 90s mate Although some people can still sport them.

Back when my hair was long enough to do so I'd tie it back at the top of my neck while shaving or on the rare occasion I had to get dressed up and needed it out of my face. Otherwise I just left it. It didn't look great either way, but tied back looked a bit classier. Not by much, but a bit.

A bandana on the forehead and a ponytail on the back could work...

COULD work...
..

I'm going to attempt this.

My old martial arts teacher was a 20-something guy with blond hair in a ponytail. At the time he came across to me as somewhere between a drill sergeant and a pirate, and he instructed his charges with a very scary cheery sadism. He owned a full suit of plate armour and a small arsenal of assorted bladed objects all of which he was scarily proficient with. At the time he was the scariest son-of-a-***** I'd ever met and he still is up there today. Even outside of extraordinarily dangerous blades and steel plate, he looked nothing short of a badass at all times with his ponytail. It didn't hurt that he looked twin to the Dread Pirate Roberts.

He's a baker now. Funny how that works. Still walks the nastiest parts of town with a sword cane.

It doesn't always work, but if you can grow your hair that long and it looks good why the heck not?

Incidently I find this song mildly appropriate for this thread - no ponytails though, just lotsa hair!

It can work but it varies completely from person to person. I'm growing my hair out so i can donate it to locks for love later. I just don't see a reason to cut my hair now when I could do it later and help people at the same time. I put mine back for convenience.

 

[BrainWalker]

It's kind of funny that you like your hairstyle because it "fights the system," but when people challenge it, you start thinking maybe you should cut your hair.

Personally, I don't think ponytails on guys are inherently bad, but it's certainly a more difficult look to pull off than the sort of generic hairstyles every other guy has.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Emphatically no. I would get rid of it posthaste.

 

[Julianking93]

I used to have shoulder length hair, and it was 50-50 too. After I got a job, the "hygiene guidelines" said that I had to get my hair cut. All of my friends who were girls said it looked so much better, and my guy friends could care less, cause we're guys.
After all of that...I really missed my long hair. I don't give a shit if you like my hair or not, I want me to like my hair! So moral of the story, fuck everyone else, if you think your hair has a "fight the system" kind of attitude, then you go fight that system, and you kick it's ass with the god given hair that you love!

Spoiler: Me while giving this speech

This. Listen to this person because they know what they're talking about.

Fuck everyone else. You need to like how you look. No one else's opinion really matters.

Personally, I have long hair and like long hair on guys. Not particularly ponytails, but long hair is sexy to me. Despite that, I change my hair a lot when it gets a little crazy and will get it shorter. Not short, because I look ridiculous with short hair, but shorter, at least.

Still, don't listen to what everyone else says. Do what you want, not what someone else wants.

 

[Blitzwarp]

One of my best (male) friends has a ponytail. He wears it with an Indiana Jones hat and he looks fuckin' RAD.

So yeah, ponytails are cool - so long as you can pull it off.

 

[CATB320]

Well, if you have long hair then I guess it makes sense.
I personally find long hair on guys unattractive. But it's your hair, do what you want.

 

[IamQ]

If you're Asian, then I say go for it, if not, then you have to be careful, because it's easy for it to look really bad.
