[Closed] Can your body be too old for a ponytail?

hairline _must_ be intact

That's Francis Rossi out then... 🙂

reminds me of a Jasper Carrot gag, under every pony tail is an ass hole

It's always unnerving to learn that the Editor has been reading Hora's threads 😉

Go for it

long hair is ok as long as its still in abundance on the top, to avoid the put-my-head-on-upside-down look

Someone mock up a picture of the OP with a ponytail... perrrleeease x

Pony tails on men are the same as pony tails on horses, lift it up and you find an a**hole underneath.

That is what I've heard, not sure it is true or not though.

Edit: Dammit, beaten to it by mikewsmith

How could Micheal Bolton be wrong? Looks great with a big tache!

I go with this addage.

At the end of every rainbow is a crock of gold and at the end of every ponytail is a c-word.

Can your body be too old for a ponytail?

Yes.

And it can also be the wrong gender.

They're for girls.

As a general rule this is true, however: Bill Bailey - cool as ****.

This is the only 'man' allowed to have long hair. He can have it however the heck he wants...

Swoon... you know you want to...

Will haircut makes me want to kill kittens.

I wonder how many of the naysayers are follicly challenged?

I've had a ponytail for about 20 years. I'm quite happy with it, but I'd entertain changing it if I had the remotest idea what to do instead.

That's the late, great George Carlin, that.

Wow, I thought it was Bill Nighy.

Not if you're Steven Seagal. Here's something that will keep your old body going:

Cougar, do you usually wear your hair long, but tie it back up for practical reasons or is it always tied back? If the former fair enough, but if the latter it's like having a number three all over and a rat on the back of your head. Why not just keep it short?

Yes I am losing my hair. 🙁

Can your body be too old for a ponytail?

Possibly! As long as hairline isn't receding then it can look cool. On the other hand, if you have the aplomb to carry off a fedora, then that is seriously cool. 🙂

I don't understand why some many guys shave their heads - embrace those locks whilst you can. But, polite request here, do regularly wash with shampoo especially after riding.

Hope this helps. 😉

Auntie - I used to think you were soo cool 🙁

What about the older fella out of Road House?

Wade Garrett wasnt it

I believe that if you have to ask, you already know the answer.

TSY - what have I done wrong? Sob sob. 😥

Edit: is it OK to be a tad eccentric?

Eccentric can be cool... long hair and a hat... not so.

Will haircut

WTF was I on about there? His hair upset me so much I had a syntax failure.

I will never forget the commotion which occurred in my house the day my father discovered that his teenage son used shampoo.

My mother came running to find out why my father was shouting, my horrified father informed her that he had overwhelming evidence that I had used shampoo on my hair, thereby providing conclusive proof that I was in fact homosexual. Apparently real men who have a natural and healthy attraction to women, just use a bar of soap on their barnet - not poncy shampoo.

it's time for a no2 all over..grow old with dignity

I've yet to work out why the convict look is considered dignified. All these shaved heads I see everywhere speak or prison and/or lice.

Have some inagination. And grow a pony tail if you want one.

Now you know what people have been thinking..............

Oh, I know what people have been thinking, as one large gentleman saw fit to loudly roll out that joke whilst standing directly behind me in the bar queue at a Rammstein gig the other day. It's a sad day when I'm singled out as a freak for having long hair at a bloody rock concert.

I'd like to say the former; however, it gets tied back mostly out of habit these days. And, you're right, why indeed. It's ace at gigs, but for the other 99.99% of the time it's just in the way. Problem is, as I've said, I'm utterly at a loss as to what else to do with it. I started a thread a while back to solicit ideas, which ended predictably badly. (-:

where's TJ?

It appears the cooler you are, the more you can get away with. And the more folically challenged you are the cooler you have to be to have a ponytail.

Stringfellow - no amount of grooming could make that bellend cool.

Connery - would still look cool with any of the hideous creations my sister concocted on her "girls world"scary head thing back in the 80s.

I have had a grade 2 all over for the past 20 years as the only way to not look a tool so going by my own "rules" I'm a 100% uncool.

I'm cool as an eskimo's fridge, so that's alright then.

(note: this may not be true)

an eskimo's fridge

Somewhere between 4 and 8 deg like any other fridge?

If you want a ponytail then have one. 8) I don't see any problem at all.

Only Brad Pitt looks good with a pony tail. Even then its tenuous. For me, no bloke of any age or hair looks good. Its just either seedy or 80's.

Ps. Very funny 😉

Case closed

I'd like to point out that I have a buzz-cut and it's staying that way. I only started the thread because it rhymed 🙂

However that 'shopped pic of me looks mighty sexy...

If you look, as the great Devin Townsend put it, “like an ostrich egg wearing a grass skirt”, it’s probably best to shave the lot off.

Unless you’re Devin Townsend, obviously.

Well in some ways when your body is old the last thing you can get is a hardtail.. 😯

checks flowing locks [ not in a pony tail as i am not eating]..notices increasing amount of grey hair...ponders on the issue

Big Lebowski is an example of how two haircuts should live in history...

there's a lot of haterz on here today - embrace the hair brothers, it's your aerials man 😉

Freewheelin' Franklin, "Well why don't you suck my (Swear Filter Avoidance) and find out?!!".

I don't think I could make love to a man with longer, glossier, shinier, thicker hair than me.

It depends, on some it can look OK, on others looks, well just wrong.

Have a look at the People of Walmart site for how not to do it

http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/?s=ponytail

Men with ponytails, like those who smoke rollups or own snakes, are invariably ne'er do wells.

Hairist.

Ahem ... Jimmy Page is one thing but since when did David Coverdale become a barometer for good taste?

Of course there are exceptions but as a general rule I think pony tails on blokes in their 40's is a bit wrong-diddly-wrong-wrong!

Unless your name is Lemmy, old(er) chaps should be careful with their choice of 'coiffure' less they start to look like Tim Robbins' character in 'High-Fidelity' 🙄

Please, please don't.

My hair has grown out over the last year, and I can't quite bring myself to go for the ponytail. Am getting a bit fed up of eating it and melting it with the soldering iron though 🙁

I had waist length hair until last year. I am part Indian and it was thick and black and women loved it. Never a pony tail, either flowing or tight bun in the knape of the neck. I got away with it coz I am tall dark and exoticly handsome. A royal pain to look after and wash.

A man with a ponytail, is a man who doesn't care what the world thinks of him. He's not even saying 'I don't care what the world thinks of me', he's saying 'world? I know not of this place, I have a ponytail'.

Now that's a man who has no regard for his own life and that's why men with ponytails are the most dangerous men on earth.

Do not get a ponytail Chipps. I know you normally court the boundaries of acceptable fashion but really, this is so far over the edge you'll be in style freefall. Nothing will be able to save you after that.

As an example, look at dog there. He catches some terribly dangerous people and as a result has grown iron hard. So much so that he can wear a ponytail and nobody will say anything about it. All of dogs men have ponytails too. Despite them being the worst thing ever to have when you're into fighting dangerous people, they still have one. That's how hard they are.

Are you that hard Chipps?

same with long earrings, maybe with a feather dangling off the end of them.

are you that hard?

My apologies. Just caught up. Sorry Chipps.

Well, well make your minds up..

Vive la difference

Long hair is one thing, a ponytail on the other hand is just creepy.

Samuri - brilliant. Laughing my head off at those comments.
