Do men find women in pigtails sexy?
I went to Pilates last night and put my hair in pigtails (a ponytail hurts doing mat work). I was told that it was very sexy. The Mr. told me that his friend always wears pigtails when interviewing (she's a computer programmer) because evidently men like that look.

Is this true?

:shrug:

Not Me

1. You will find a man or men that find almost any and all looks sexy
I never found pigtails to be all that exciting though

4. I think they are awfully cute - not my favorite style, but I like it.
Kind of surprised it would work in an interview though, as it seems a bit informal.

6. Yes.
Shorter than that picture though. I'd say no longer than 7", then they just look strange. And they look hotter with tattoos, piercings and glasses.

8. Doesn't do anything for me
Ponytails I like, though. Or simply letting long straight hair go down naturally. But not pigtails.

51. I dig ponytails - pigtails not so much
There's just something "summer-ish" about a woman with a ponytail (perhaps it's the sense of casualness that brings back memories of growing up in resort areas).

Pigtails just really don't work for me as the look is just a tad to juvenile for my tastes.

11. I've never really liked them. IMO, it's too much of a 'kid' style,
and it seems odd (perhaps creepy) to be attracted to a traditionally underage look.

That said, there are plenty of exceptions (not all pigtail wearers are giving off a teenybopper vibe)...

I think it's also cute when a lady wears a ponytail with a ball cap.

23. Depends on the man, depends on the woman, depends on the pigtails.
If the woman thinks it looks sexy on her, men will pick up the confidence and think the woman is sexier, but that's more about her attitude than the do.

28. Depends on the woman
but, if a woman wore pigtails, a Catholic schoolgirl outfit and glasses, I'd likely be putty in her hands.

29. They only look right on young girls.
Maybe a teenager can get away with it.

Even so, I haven't found teenagers sexy in quite some time.

after all, it's sort of like a horse's tail.

35. In addition, they look nothing like pigtails in the first place...
if anything, they look more like horsetails, but that probably sounds less cute or something.

40. Depends on the rest of the look.
If the pigtails match the rest of the look, hells yes. They're very cute. If not, then it just looks silly.

46. No -- I hate them!
Very few women can pull off the pig tail look -- VERY FEW!

Even fewer can pull off the braided pig tail look...

50. You think?
When I was in college there was a girl in my soc class who wore her hair in braided pigtails. They were as thick as my wrist and the most beautiful strawberry blonde color.

I didn't learn a lot in that class. Somehow I was always lost in daydreams. :9

Maybe that makes me a little biased.

My wife used to have a friend that wore her hair in braided pig tails -- her pigtails were thick, also -- and looked amazing!

47. When my hair was long I used to pigtail it for work.
I did get a lot of comments on it. You know, of the hey baby variety :rofl:

Now it's mostly too short. But I can appreciate how cute they must look on you. ;)

58. It's not normally one of the things that sparks my sexual imagination, no
I would probably find the woman in that picture sexy however, save for one thing: she looks like she could be the twin sister of a certain male model I know who has a comically metastasized ego for someone who really doesn't have all that great of a look for a male model (prolly cuz he'd look better as a woman, as per above pic, lol).

60. When my wife and I first became lovers, she used to put this braid on the side of her hair.
It drove me wild.

Of course, it happens that everything she did drove me wild.

Still does.

61. I find them a little too "barely legal" for my tastes.
But, if you have to wear them for practical reasons, it's all good.

I am more of a ponytail guy.
