Unless you are George Carlin or my Grandpa (who looks exactly like George Carlin), probably not.
Question, is your grand father George Carlin. Cuase that might explain there apperence.
And if your grandfather IS George Carlin, kudos to you for having such an awesome heritage!

Personally, I love a man with a good ponytail.

What it really comes down to is most people can look fine with long hair, if it's kept well. However, women are taught that they must take care of their hair because they are expected to have long hair, while many men never learn this lesson. The result? Most women look great with long hair and most men look horrible with it.

Take care of your hair and it'll probably look at least fine. Depending on your hair, face, and body, you might even look awesome.

(Oh, and keep in mind that if you are more comfortable, confident, and satisfied with your appearance with long hair, you will look better overall. People who have long hair out of laziness and/or as a curtain to hide behind will always look pretty terrible.)

Well, considering good ol George is dead, and my grandpa isn't (that will truly be the worst day of my life), no. But they do share very simiar ideas, expect when it comes to religion.

Men virtually never take care of their hair properly. So long hair on men is nearly always gross, and every woman I've ever asked says the same.

Wait til your hair goes white/grey, then do it. You'll look pretty damn badass.

Otherwise, it's a risky situation there as generally, they don't work too well. My dad used to have waist length hair that he used to plait and trust me, it looks a thousand times better in those photos than the dreaded ponytail ones.

Some men can pull it off, On women it works well but it makes them look sort of masculine. But thats just my take on it.

On girls, absolutely.

On guys, give or take. When I have long hair, I don't particularly look good with one, but my friend looks alright with one.

You are asking at the wrong site, you should ask somewhere on a lifestyle board or the like (Reason for this should be obvious...)and provide them with images.

In general it will only work if you have very refined style in clothing and your appearance allows it; it will make you look flamboyant... (thinking of Lagerfeld).

If you're still going to school with your band shirt on and the like you can go with it anyway, nothing to loose here. If you're older you will have to settle for a short haircut one way or the other except you're working in the creative sector.

Not sure if this has allready seen said but...

Instead of left-clicking on the image,
open it in a new tab
it still shows up the old (superior!) way,
then obviously right-click, view image.

Oh and on the topic-IMO pony tails are never cool, sorry dude

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!
Good, then. Feel free to corner women at parties and explain at length how they are being oppressed by the patriarchy.

Really? o_0' I thought the reverse would be true.

Anyway, used to have a ponytail and let one lock loose over the left side of my face. I looked OK, since I have naturally gaunt features. But it was too much work to keep the hair from getting too dry, so I decided to screw it and I effectively buzz-cut hair, these days. When I decide not to shave, I've been told I look like a yakuza *shrug*.

But yeah, depends on the wearer. Works better if you're tall, with a long/oval face and upright posture... just my thoughts on it.

Long hair on guys is awesome, I've been growing my hair out for a year and a half now, still growing it. Ponytails only work if your hair is long enough, you have to have a bit of slack on the head. But yeah, they're pretty cool

To be blunt, a ponytail on a guy is one of the grossest things to me. Oh god. So stringy and to me they just seem like a carryover from nineties childhoods... like black band t-shirts and wrestlemania posters. Nothing about them seems clean, and for some reason 95% of ponytailed guys are huge nerds (disclaimer: I am a huge nerd), so it kind of just perpetuates the "unclean nerd" stereotype.
