Acorn Man! Weird blind dates?

Blind date. Friend met a guy set up by her friend from work. He'd shaved his head apart from a sort of cap on the top third of his head including fringe and a ponytail or long bit in the middle he'd tied in a topknot. She's christened him Acorn Man. I can't stop laughing, I'm probably being mean but she was grimacing telling me and her sister. No pictures of him so I can only visualise. She didn't fancy him and was distracted by his hair all the time!

A top knot is a pretty common hair style. YABU for getting so excited about it.

Obvs not her type but that kind of viking warrior style hair is very cool to me 😂

I'm not excited. My friend wasn't either.

Do you mean this first picture, which is indeed very common, generally thought to be attractive, and inspired by the series Vikings? I don’t think a haircut like that is really worthy of a MN thread.

Or the second picture which I do appreciate is a bit more niche?

I feel a sketch of Acorn Man is in order
