Men With Ponytails, The Ultimate Faux Pas?

I don't really see guys with ponytails that often anymore, usually the ones I do are either goths or foreign people.

Are they the ultimate male fashion faux pas?

It must get annoying keeping it clean.

Don't have anything against them but I think behind every ponytail there's an arse hole.

I wanted a ponytail when I had a really warped view on how people would see what I wore etc. They CAN look good on certain people, though.

As long as it's looked after and you've got the face for it, I think they can be quite attractive... but I grew up watching medieval/fantasy films with my Dad, so I have a curious fixation with long-haired guys. :p:
yeah a guy would have to be really facially good looking to put one off..

even then i still wouldn't like it though!......
some guys suit pony-tails

i personally would never grow my hair long

but you are right, most are goths or foreigners
Erm, no lol

I have long hair. When it's down it's around the small of my back, sometimes tying it up just makes life easier.

What the hell are you basing this "ponytail/********" thing on?

It's like saying all guys with shaved heads are thugs =/

And it's not hard to keep it clean. I wash my body I wash my hair. Simple as

How is having long hair lazy?

You wouldn't call a girl lazy because she has long hair

I associate ponytails with 80's yuppies on the American stock exchange.
I have long enough hair for a ponytail, but i would never wear one in public. I wouldn't say it's the ultimate faux pas though, when compared against mullets or drawn-on felt-tip pen moustaches
I hate it. I don't see them that often though.
Do you know why it's called a pony tail on blokes? Because if you lift it up you'll see an ******** underneath!

male ponytails are hot !! but on some people not so much
You don't see it that often these days. It suits a few people, but the majority just look ridiculous. Especially when they reach a certain age and the hair line begins to recede.

wow, you've made like 7 threads in the last 2 hours, all on pretty similar subject matters :eek:




Just say no. :woo:
I would never date a guy with a ponytail because personally he would be way too vain for my liking, i mean why else would he have a ponytail?

but how often do see a guy with a ponytail in comparison to shorter hair?

also, its just because guys i knew who went through their grunge phase, just said 'they couldn't be bothered to cut it'... 3 of them soon conformed, cut it off, and their faces look SO much better.
