I have always wanted to grow my hair out but I never seemed to cause it takes to long, it curls alot at the ends and looks stupid, and I dont know anything about growing it long. Some people tell me, oh just trim it every now and then. But wont that make the back longer then the front? Im not sure if im making sense.., Basically, i want my hair to look like Jonny Greenwood's hair. Someone help me, im rather dumb.
Hey! There is nothing wrong with a pony tail! I like my hair free and blowing in the wind just as much as the next Longhair. However, I also like my longhair out of my face when I am trying to do things. The two don't match all that well. Hence the pony tail.
I think the pony tail is the best of both worlds. Putting my hair back in one allows me to do the work that I need to do. Having my hair back in a tail also allows me to take it out of the tail and let it all hang out.
I like both!

I agree - saying men with long hair shouldn't tie it back is no better than saying all men should have short hair.
Jeez, calm down, willya? He didn't say men shouldn't tie back their long hair, he just said he didn't want a ponytail for himself. This kind of knee-jerk defensiveness (especially when you're missing the point) gives you guys a bad name.
I'm afraid you are the one who missed the point. I wasn't talking about Justin's post, but the post made by HHHH in which he does, in fact, contrary to what you said, specifically say "don't hide your hair in s ponytail". Correct me if i'm wrong, but that sounds to me as though he is saying men shouldn't tie their hair back - check the post for yourself. And as for "knee jerk", "defensive" reactions, take a look at your own post before you start chucking stones right through the window of your glass house.
Actually, it was Willie who brought up the thread; I merely agreed!
I haven't read all the follow-ups to Willie's post (which i'd never seen before, so my apologies HHHH for attributing it to you), but judgin by the number of posts it was obviously something of a hot potato. Perhaps we should all agree to differ and bury this one.
smurf: I agree - saying men with long hair shouldn't tie it back is no better than saying all men should have short hair.
Willie: Show off your hair, guys, don't hide it in a pony tail.
Admirer: Jeez, calm down, willya? He didn't say men shouldn't tie back their long hair, he just said he didn't want a ponytail for himself. This kind of knee-jerk defensiveness (especially when you're missing the point) gives you guys a bad name.
Willie: Um, excuse me, but unless my hair is just plain in the way or I'd need to look neat for a special occaision, I wanna let it all hang out.
But HHHH was merely making a statement: I agree! The pony-tail is just a way to HIDE the long-hair in case it is hardly acceptable.
