To hate 'man buns?'

OK - so it's not only the little 'bun' thing I hate but the way that the hair's pulled back in order to style aforementioned bun is also really unattractive!!

Am I too set in my ways /conservative re hair dos? (notice no apostrophe)

I don't like them.

But I also don't like this Eyebrow Thing some girls have got going on either. It's not 50s sophistication, it's Hammer Horror.

I just asked dh if he would grow a man bun, his answer :

"Fuck no! In this house?! With your issues with keeping track of bobbles?!"

So there you go. Apparently I couldn't be trusted to not pinch his bobbles, and he doesn't like having his hair in his eyes.

I agree they can be gorgeous on the right guy.

Man buns require thick long curly hair preferably at least shoulder length. I'm a bit biased tho and stating a preference.Grin

I LOVE a man-bun, but I only think they look good if they are positioned at or below the lambdoidal suture.

Eh, I think I could deal with it...

Oh look he's holding a tiny baby too.

I like that he wears his low down.

Haha - thanks Jellybelli for bringing back some childhood memories!!

Maybe I need to broaden my horizons a bit but I also much prefer clean shaven men to bearded etc...

I think it's ok to not like it. Plenty of men complain they hate ugg boots. I don't like them but I wouldn't be mean to someone about it. I don't really get the high shine wet look gel thing either

A man at work always used to have a bun. He had a decent amount of hair though. I had a double take at first but after a while I realised it really suited him. Some people pull it off

Oblomov16 · 08/09/2016 16:25

I hate them too. Think they are truely vile.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 09/09/2016 00:21

Dork knobs de nos jours, IMO.

Oh no sorry, yabu. I love them! I really like the beard and man bun combination too and I know we're all supposed to be so over the beard thing and scornful of the look. Can't help it, just like it :)

Ryan Hurst, Travis Fimmel, Anthony Kiedis had one back in the 80s, Charlie Hunnam., Chris Hemsworth, Jason Momoa......I could go on all day. on the right guy it looks amazing. same as any hairstyle.

I wasn't keen until I saw Gareth Bale! Converted now!
