Why, dear God, why? Does anybody find man buns attractive?

I instantly regard guys with buns as irrelevant.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Speaking of men grooming failures, there is nothing I hate more than a samurai style ponytail some men are sporting these days. Combined with a (usually unkempt) beard, this looks disgusting.
Ponytails are out. Man buns are in.


If you can't grow one, buy one.


But they are like fake-in, I've yet to meet a person who actually said they look good.

No, I think they're "in" in, since I've seen men with hair buns out on the street.

I know two guys with manbuns.  Also saw a prototypical lumbersexual on Halloween.

Well yes, there are people that wear them. There are people that wear lots of not 'in' styles.

I'm gonna get me one of those there fake man-buns.

With encroaching baldness, I'll look like a Samurai - and thus be both fashionable - and indulge in Cultural appropriation -  in one gesture!  :D

Don't you wear tiny hats that kinda resemble a bun anyway?  :hmm:

I would if I was an observant Orthodox or Conservative Jew ... though those little hats don't really look like buns. They are sorta flat on the head.  ;)

Great, now you are going to harassed for microagression.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Well, if I also wear the two swords, I can soar beyond "micro" ...  :menace:

The Japanese community of Languish has been pretty quiet up to now, in spite of the many microaggressions in the anime thread.
