I wear my games in a hair in a ponytail mainly for practicality (eating, work, etc). I don't care too much for looking cool. I think long hair is cool in general though.

You should just grow it and see if it suits your face. I have long hair, but for practicality it's often tied back. I keep myself clean and trim, and have a bull beard, trimmed, as well. I have no problem with women or people in general, but it really depends on what suits you. Also, and I hate to say it, but if you have thinning hair, receding hair, or are noticeably a little fatter than everyone else, really don't bother, you'll end up looking like comic book guyinterspark said:
Used to have one myself actually, mainly during my lazy college days. When I look back, I think it just didn't work to be honest, although the reason I cut it was more due to it getting in the way during martial arts training. Besides that, like some have mentioned above, you must be awesome, *and* have facial hair. Generally I think it only works on musicians too, tough guys (or tough looking guys) no way. Unless you are one of the main characters in Samurai Champloo heheh.
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.

It really depends on who it's on (if we are only talking about guys) there's a math teacher at my school with a deep voice and glasses with a ponytail, actually looks cool on him. Other people you just want to burn it off.
I agree fully with this. I have long hair but never put it in a ponytail simply because I can't pull it off. But I think that if I could actually grow some good facial hair that I would look a bit better.amoamaremetallum said:
I prefer to just let my hair hang loose though. Ponytails just don't suit a lot of people.
The only way it looks decent on a guy is if you either:
A) Have a full beard and a strong face. Broad shoulders help complete the tough look.
B) Are thin, but have some muscle and normally sport a slasher smile. No facial hair in this case.
C) Are a kung fu monk.
9/10 times when I see a guy with a pony tail I think: hippy, flamer, trying to hard to be badass.

Now if you were saying your girlfriend was telling you they're uncool, you might have case. But you're not. So you don't. But I guess if you're okay being associated with this -
Then by all means, go ahead.

I would say that if you're a guy and you have long hair, it should be in a ponytail.
I grew my hair several years ago into about a 9-inch ponytail and it ended up looking pretty good (according to other people, not just my own narcissistic opinion). The one caveat is that pulling your hair back will sharpen and accentuate your features; this may end up making you look more severe. I eventually cut my hair short again because it was just too intimidating. (I'm 6'6", so there's plenty of unintended intimidation happening already).

What do you find under a ponies tail? An arsehole
Sooo.... really depends on the person, but for the most part no.
