Pony tail - braided or unbraided?

So I have rather long hair, have had long hair for quite some time, about 3 years. I always keep it in a pony tail but I've recently been thinking of braiding it, simple thick 2 stranded braid. Not sure it would look good though. What do you think?

Yeah I know I'm inviting the flames ;)

Edit: I'm not going to braid it. But I'm not changing it much either. I might trim it here or there to make the pony tail a little less messy but that's it for now. A lot of people have suggested corn rows which I think is funny, I can't imagine corn rows looking good on anyone who isn't black. Dread locks also seem common but they are too messy to me, gives one that pot smoker who hasn't bathed in a month look.

When I was thinking of braiding it I was thinking of the look of the guys in kung fu movies, an old chinese traditional style where they had a single long braid and the rest of their head was bald as in this pic. Though I was not thinking of going for the exact look, not shaving the front! :)

You totally look like a flamer. Well... sorta.

You're either a guy or a real ugly girl.

not braided looks slight less gay than braided.

whatever the consensus is on ATOT, do the opposite IRL

I thought this thread was about pony tails on girls. I'm very disappointed... and disturbed.

Edit: Just clicked the link. I wish I hadn't.

I'll give a real opinion.
Nice glasses. No to the braided. If you want it long that's alright I guess, but I'd recommend keeping the lenght between neck and shoulders and straight ponytail that.
Other advice- sideburns, maybe a mini goatee, and weight loss would benefit (no offense)

I think a braid would work for you. People might assume you're a biker, though. I've had that happen to me when I've had my hair braided.

i honestly thought he was an ugly girl or a guy pretending to be a girl. i was like ":vomit; she's got facial hair :vomit;"

if you want to look like a guy, cut your hair.

Step 1. Wash your hair.
Step 2. Go to the barber.
Step 3.
Step 4. Profit.

I thought this thread was about a girl asking a bunch of ATOT nerds about their hair preference.

Now I find out that Tarzan was the one who wanted the opinion.

Cut your hair. You look like a stereotypical D&D nerd and it will be even worse with a pony tail or braided.
