Korean man in a suit, with long hair in a pony tail.

I think this is really silly. For Gods sake!!!! Make up your mind!!!! either take the conservative buisness look, or the hippy look. You can't have both.

What,you man you dont have a tiny korean man with a ponytail perched on your left shoulder whispering advice into your ear?

'What's that, Galazar? I should eat Kim Chi? I do eat it! I know! I've tried it! Stop telling me to try Kim Chi!'

Well, if it's a shiny suit, then it makes complete sense all of the sudden.

Any Korean man in a pony tail is cool looking.

The op of this thread is Korean and espousing his cultural values, okay, but for many of us waygooks, seeing a Korean man resist social pressure and dare to be different is a refreshing surprise.

Laughing yeah, Korean men and shiny suits!!! lol

How about the arrogant spitting men in shiny suits while squatting and smoking a cigarette? They look up at the passing waygook with condescension and scorn and bravado unaware of how silly they look. A half dozen times I've come across that very situation and I kick myself for not taking a picture.

In order to really assess the silliness factor..... I need to know: does he have a big bald spot to go with the pony tail? Extra silliness points for this if he does....

Your not your job. Just because you have to wear a suit, it doesn't mean that it defines who you are. A suit is a uniform that many jobs demand.

To some its just hair. Not everyone thinks of it as a definition of who they are.

I shave my head in summer because it feels less hot. I don't think of myself as conservative or a nazi.

I let my hair grow out in winter and I don't think of myself as wanting to be a hippy because its growing.

It could be worse; it could be a mullet.

Any Korean, man or woman, showing style that goes against the grain is very sexy to me. And I like the ponytail on a man (of course, no mullet!) I guess I would say my favorite look for men is "scruffy-chic"....of course, naturally sexy people don't have to try very hard. Luck of the draw, cruelly. You can't learn it.

Why don't you make a list of all the posters you think are Korean for us? I bet it's pretty long.

what if he was a korean yakuza or something? i'd say that'd make him pretty cool. but as a person who hails from a big city, i've seen american businessmen commit similarly bad fashion crimes. also from a statistical standpoint, your survey is constructed in a way that skews data in favor of him being silly Razz
