It's just hair. The fact that they're called man buns at all and not just buns is odd though.

Don't like the Buns and the ear things look ridiculous now let alone when they are 80!

I think men having long hair is fine, and with long hair you need to put it up sometimes. Ponytails, buns, braids etc are fine, if they like it then good for them.

I have to agree with StraitTalk, I sure don't understand the whole "man" part of man buns. Are male egos that fragile they need to put ''man" in front of certain things because society sees it as feminine?

I just hope this doesn't turn into the next PC crap craze.

Bald guys are usually jealous LOL ;)

Hell, not my cup of tea but if you can wear it - then wear it - nothing wrong with it.

I think "Man Bun" (and Man Purse for that matter) originated as mildly derisive terms that no one thinks twice about anymore. Wasn't man purse/murse originally a Seinfeld gag? Anyways if you have one, by using those terms you're in on the joke I guess. As for why men tie their hair that way, it looks a little more exotic than a plain pony tail, so maybe that's what they're going for. People my age lived through rat tails and mullets, and we emerged mostly unscathed. This won't be any worse.

Earlobe gauging (aka stretching) probably doesn't look any worse at age 80 than it does at age 20. I guess you're committed to just keeping the jewelry in permanently.
When someone says they pay taxes, you know they're about to be an ******e.

Oh she cleans it alright - I'd gag LOL!

The Mrs. loves my man purse (the term she teases me about it) - means she doesn't have to carry hers and I get stuck with all her stuff LOL!
