Poll: Are Ponytails Cool?

[interspark]

so i've been growing my hair out for a while now (i'm a guy, by the way) and my hair is now considerably longer than most of my female friends, and i wear a ponytail, for practicality and because i think they have a "fight the system" kind of attitude to them. the feedback i've got is pretty much 50-50, my sister in particular expressingly telling me that they are NOT cool and that i should get a haircut. so what do the general public think?

(i would post an image were it not for the stupid Facebook image viewer thing that disallows the viewing of individual image pages, and therefor, image URLs)

EDIT: sorry, that bottom one says "" apparently, you don't use 's in the poll options

Depends how awesome you are. Generally they dont work.

 

[Outright Villainy]

I really don't like ponytails at all myself. On some women they can look good I guess, but not the really tight ones than pull the hair straight back.

But yeah, on guys I think they just look ridiculous.

 

[Plurralbles]

nah... unless you're a chinese imperial guard you kinda' look trashy. Do you have extremely awseome guitar skills?

 

[DuplicateValue]

No, not usually.

Actually, probably never if you're a guy.
In my opinion, that is.

 

[Radeonx]

I prefer shorter hair, myself, but some guys are able to pull off the look.
I've never tried to, so I wouldn't know, but I'm pretty indifferent. Some guys look awesome, and some look incredibly ridiculous.

Don't listen to anyone who says they work. They don't. Ever. Unless you're a chick. But if you're dude...Kill it with fire. Seriously. Just don't even try it.

It's a rare occurrenc, but it does indeed occur.

You absolutely 100% need to have a beard/awesome moustache to pull off a ponytail. I don't care who you are or how popular you are or how awesome you are. If you are a male, with a ponytail, you must have facial hair, otherwise it is proven fact that you look like a prick.

Well, it may not work for me but I don't like to put work into my hair and my hair looks stupid short without styling. Therefore I have a ponytail. I also have really good hair that I get compliments on pretty regularly.

 

[NeedAUserName]

No I spent the whole of last year growing my hair, and came to the conclusion that no, they don't. Ever. Shave it, shave it now.

 

[New Troll]

It is very, very rare I put my hair in a ponytail. Usually only while eating out, though sometimes at work. And when I do, I usually forget it's in a ponytail and it stays that way for hours.

So, in conclusion, I prefer my hair pony-tail free. As for others, usually looks weird.

 

[amoamaremetallum]

And just to clarify, if you do have a ponytail without facial hair, then just let it down. You'll look metal.

 

[DefunctTheory]

Nope.

Not cool. Not now, not ever.

 

[The_Healer]

Are you Steven Seagal?

No?

Cut that shit off.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Only if you want to look like a horse's ass! A hurr hurr hurr.

But in all seriousness, it doesn't really matter. In my longer hair days I wore one just to keep all of it out of my face.

 

[Luke5515]

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!
