I have nothing, in theory, against the man bun…but what is it with you guys that have to follow every trend, one after the other? Sure, when I was in high school I gave a shit about things like that, but then I became a man. You seem to need to follow every new development in the hipster universe to appease your longing for attention. We could build a trend line with your photos, starting with your racing stripes in junior high. You don’t miss a beat. Don’t you feel a little bit silly looking around and seeing everyone else looking just like you? Or is it the other way around? Can somebody please give them a hug? Maybe the just need a hug. A nice soft and warm hug that says “It’s ok.” I wonder what next big thing will draw you in. — THE BORG

FFS… leave them to their own devices like we were.
Aesthetically risible, but a fairly harmless, if self-indulgent, personal choice. But truly, every time I see one it’s as if a million Gurkhas, Samurai and Maori warriors cry out in anger and are suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened to the North American male.
Are hairy man buns the next thing?
For when some “manarchist” has to “mansplain” why he is “manspreading” on pubic transit.
Bring back the Rat Tail…….
I had a rat tail… and leave your hairy man buns alone!

Man buns are over, nerds.
I can never understand why people are so concerned with other people’s appearance. I don’t think there is a requirement for everyone to comply with a certain trend or look, so if you personally don’t like it, don’t do it.
The world would be really dull if we all looked the same…unless everyone looked like me.
Took a while to realize this wasn’t directed towards manly ass cracks.
Well! Since my last post I have seen no less than 5 man buns; no manly asses. Yet…
That’s certainly not the worst ratio…
