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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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.
Ponytails are practical and can look nice if worn right. Fuck fashion, if you keep a style for long enough, you'll find that you'll be 'in fashion' again soon enough.
Ponytail's rule.... Make sure that there is no split along the top of your head, seems to work for me! I get lots of comments on my hair.... Chicks wanna touch it.... It confuses me honestly but hell, lets just go with it.
Personally, I like guys with ponytails, but like as been said, it's usually with facial hair. And tattoos, y'know, not sleazy kind, but hot biker kind.
damn, my dad was right; getting that motorbike has affected me.
That depends. Is your hair very thin and wispy, or is itthick a lusses. Do you wash It reqularly, or is it some horrible greasy thing. Do you comb it regularly, or is it a birds nest. Do you get occasinally hair cuts just to tidy it up, or is it an uneven horrer of split ends?
Basicly, If you take care of your hair and it looks like is healthy and taken care of then keep it long by all means. Just make sure the hair looks healthy and happy by hair standerds.
NOTE: Acting all "fight the system" and having that be one of the reasons you grow your hair long will make serveral people dislike it (and maybe you) on priciple. On the other hand, saying that you like the your hair long becuase of how it feels on your neck/back as when you turn your head. Also stating that you enjoy how its feels on your hand when you run your fingers though your hair will actully improve peoples opinion of it. People will always usally respect some one that doesn something different if they state that they enjoy thing thing simply becuase it brings them pleasure in an of its self. A reble with out a cuase reasoning uaslly just annoys people and makes them dislike you/the thing.
I had long hair for about four years in highschool and I really enjoyed it and most people aroudn me enjoyed it. I cut if half way though my senior year beucase I wanted a change.
