I have definitely watched too many period dramas...

Probably due to cultural indoctrination, for some reason I find Chinese men look better with their hair in a knot than the more modern hair cuts. Something about having all the hair out of the way and getting the full effect of the facial features really brings out the quality of the masculine aesthetic. Also having long hair knotted up somehow makes the head look bigger, while shorter modern cuts make the head look disproportionately small.

On the other hand, absolutely hate ponytails on men, even though it has the same effect, technically. Clearly, my brain is too focused on "Put your hair up properly, aaaaaagh!" to properly appreciate facial features.

I'm sick and my brain is getting stuck on weird shit. Also my muscles are in epic pain. Ow.
