Man Buns

Same here. And how come they're almost always in combo with those strangely thick lumberjack beards on men who really aren't burly enough to pull off the thick lumberjack beard look...? :|

IMO almost the only men who can successfully pull off the man bun look are samurais.

ETA: The second beard in the first post is fine. The man bun rather ruins it, though.

Anytime I see a dude with a man bun it screams trying to fit in, to me at least. Not that there's anything wrong with that, because I sometimes find myself trying to fit in with the crowd to distract people from looking at me or noticing that there's something off about me (sa).

Seems like there are a lot of current men's fashion trends that are unappealing (at least to me). The bun, lumberjack look, mustaches that look like they jumped straight out of the 80s (some might call them "porn 'staches"). I won't miss any of these when they go back in the style vault for a few decades.

I hate the term "man bun". It's just a bun. Although I suppose some of those dinky things that people call "man buns" could be classified as a type of their own since they're hardly buns.

My hair is about 30 inches long, thick, and curly so I sometimes put it in a bun because it's comfortable and gets my hair out of the way. Because of the length and texture of my hair, I don't use a rubber band or anything, I just coil it in on itself.

You have to be able to pull it off and you have to own it and be comfortable with it and you have to have the kind of personality that fits it. Most guys who have one fail one or more of those.


I have a relative who has one and he has the beard of course to go with it, but this guy makes it work. It fits him. He's a true hippie as in a hippie from the sixties a bona fide genuine hippie, not a hipster, a hippie. It totally fits his personality. On anyone else I think it would look ridiculous but he can get away with it.

I think its like most things, looks interesting when you haven't seen it, but then you walk into town and every other person has one and its boring... you can apply that to things like tattoos, beards, piercings some of which I have tried just out of boredom or to see if it suited me. I used to have long hair as a kid, never did the pony tail because I generally am not too keen on that, i'd probably go for a hair band if practicality dictated it needed to be tied up or back. I don't think I would have had it like that day to day though. I just used to have an undercut and tucked it behind my ears.

my theory with these sorts of things is that the people that give less of a damn how they look try out these sorts of fashion styles, but once it becomes like a mainstream thing you tend to get a large proportion of really obnoxious try hard people doing it and people that just happen to be absolute ****s. it then sort of ruins it for all the decent people that got into that look. and it means if you are a decent guy who happens to sport that same look you'll get tarnished with the same brush where everyone is saying "oh people with that style are all arseholes" etc.

in other words, if you are a nice person don't go for this look, the general population will just think you are an arsehole.

I say rock a man bun if you want to, but I do find them to be douchey guys. It's either Sam Pepper looking hipsters or it's men trying to be male models on the street. Bugs me.
