It Feels Weird

[Risaa]

Male or female, as long as it's kept neat, it looks rather nice IMO. But it seems there are so many guys (and girls, come to think of it) who have long hair just because they're lazy and don't want to cut it, and it looks like they never wash it and really, it just looks *gross*.

For girls... I'm a big fan of two ponytails. I'm thinking of growing my hair out long again so I can achieve that bouncy two ponytail look.

Well, I wandered into this thread innocently thinking it was a discussion on whether we guys liked ponytails on girls. Then I find out that we're talking about men-ponytails and that Skane keeps (well, kept) a ponytail. Personally, I wouldn't keep a ponytail, but a decent, simple ponytail on a girl is oh so awesome. (Totally agree with Kyon)

Anyway, Skane, my condolences, hope the sprained neck heals soon.


And, Skane and TinyRedLeaf, I also going aRh-mee, somemore so soon. Wah lao, si bei sian lor. Shld create NS thread to kao bei kao bu orh not?

Perhaps I need to remind folks that this is an English language forum, not a Singlish language forum. And the topic is what it feels like to loose a lot of hair, not Singlish. The fact that Skane is Singaporean is completely irrelevant.

[TinyRedLeaf]

Yikes. Yes, the warning is noted. The Singlish crept in only as an expression of solidarity for all our valiant guys-in-green (or soon-to-be in green). All in good fun, and no offence intended.

In any case, it's pretty clear that my vote is a solid NO ponytails for guys -- it's very "yesterday". That's my opinion only, of course. I'll admit I'm not a fashion guru, but if recent fads are anything to go by, a clean-shaven, well-cropped head of hair is more appealing to women than a man in a ponytail (when did you last see George Clooney, Jude Law or Pierce Brosnan in ponytail.....?). Better yet, go bald, ala Captain Jean Luc Picard/Patrick Steward or Morpheus/Lawrence Fishburne -- very very manly and virile.

As for ponytails on girls, how can I argue with Kyon? He's god as much as Haruhi is my goddess.

The poll is about ponytails in general. Not just for men.

Two sessions. The first one is 11 days, while the second one is about 3 weeks.

I just got to "love" our system. I consider my NSF-term to be very "varied" as I was vocation-hopping a lot (I could probably write a book about it ). Without naming specific camps, I have been posted in Anti-Terrorism Intelligence (best seven months of my service), Regimental Policemen (worst period of my service), RSM Clerk (shortest period of my service), General Storemen (slackest period of my service), etc... and now... and now for the life of me, they decided to put me in YET another DIFFERENT vocation.

120mm Artillery...

All the Chief Clerks give me inquisitive looks everytime I show them my "blue book". I'm probably one of the few people who actually fill more than half the damn book within a year.

Good grief! Are they trying to make me the "Jack of All Trades" or something? The closest I ever associated with Arty was touching 120mm shells as a storeman, or visiting the neighbouring Arty-camp when I was training to be a RP. By what twisted logic did they decide to put me in a session in which I have never trained for before?

Aiyah, one year one time onri, kao bei kao bu for wat? At least you only need to serve until 40-years-only nia. I after 40 still lan lan have to serve in MR (yah, because I am ngeng tiao wat, wat to do). My advice hor, dun skip the high key ICTs. Quickly serve finis seven years then can relac liao.

Only in aRh-mee is promotion considered punishment.

Ah, the joys of being the next generation. You bitch about mine, I bitch about theirs.

Cheers.

I like them on some people. Not on me. I don't really like to put my hair up much because I don't like my ears. Also with ponytails I don't like it when I lean back in a chair or something and have this huge bump in the way. Really I think it depends on the person. Some people look good with a ponytail, some don't.

[KiNA]

But isn't a llama looks cute with a pontytail? =3

[Lordshin]

Yeah ponytails look good only on some people... but overall i like them xD

But sux for the OP... i know people who have gone from Long hair to practically bald and they really dont like it cuz they feel like a big part of them is missing xD

[ibreatheanime]

I think ponytails look great on a lot of people. However I have a friend who has worn her hair in a ponytail nearly everyday of her life. One day she wore her hair down, and her hair actually had a ponytail holder line. *cringe*

I however have had short hair my whole life so I could never wear a ponytail.

When I was younger I had hair down to my butt; I chopped it all off and donated it. It does feel like something's missing, but at the same time... you actually can feel a breeze on your neck again. O_O I've been keeping my hair short, but I think it's about time I grow it long again. :3

i dont like ponytail on men, feels weird. but i like see girls with it.

I have a friend just like that too. She took her hair down once, and it looked pretty, but it had a straight-hair area (above the tie) and a curly-hair area (below the tie). She has naturally wavy hair, so it looked kinda funny.

Ponytails on guys i Don't dig.
Most girls here wear ponytails of all shapes and sizes....literally! And rite now i'm wearin one too. Although i make it a policy to never sleep in a ponytail......it hurts my head.

For me, as long as the ponytail style fits the person, I don't mind it at all. Whether it be on a man or a woman, if it fits, don't change it.

I forgot what country but I heard someone mention to me how his country requires you to serve for 3 years. I think it was somewhere in Europe if I'm not mistaken.

All you young people whining about ponytails on guys ... get offa my lawn

Seriously... I've been in and out of style so many times I lost count. I've worn shoulder length hair for 35 years (put into a ponytail when needed). Never affected any job I've had either (but then I avoided stupid corporate cultures... or at least stuck to ones stupid in different ways). The worst I've been told is that I look like a barbarian

<shrug> any hairstyle is fine ... just don't make fun of someone else's choice.

My wife has butt-length black hair and will wear a ponytail... but I love it when she wears twin-tails.

[Lost]

I don't really like twin-tails - I think it feels to me to be too school-girlish almost. Hehe I wonder what a man with twin-tails would look like...

...Which is why I love them. They're very cute, definitely not something you'd expect to see a hard-ass, feminist woman wear.

And I have seen guys wear two ponytails as a joke... they got minus 1,000 masculinity points from me.

[Vexx]

I've worn "native american" style tails before (e.g. braided like Willie Nelson) but a free-style twin-tail just looks hilariously goofy (on me at least). Its just much better looking on the women, the longer the better

[arias]

Skane, how often is reservist training? I was brought up in Singapore but I never needed to go for NS so I'm not sure. Anyway, having a lighter head must feel good ; ) Next time just keep a short hairstyle.

Plus, I love ponytails. But.. man..
