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.

Is it really that common?

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
