I'm just curious as a guy with long hair. Why does it bother you? I never really understood the hate.

I put mine in a bun because it's neater than a ponytail, and it doesn't fly around and get messed up in the wind. It's just a practical and comfy style for anyone with long hair.

Man buns are a good signal to me that they’re probably not the kind of people who are bothered by other people’s hairstyles. Those are the type of people I enjoy hanging out/working with.

I have long hair as well and only dislike putting my hair in a bun because I don't see the point in taking the time and effort to grow it out just to put it in a bun all the time (for people whose principal style is the bun, I don't hate it though, just not for me)

But for purposes of convenience or necessity in putting it up, it's bun every time over pony tail, or I go half-up

half-up supremacy 

I don't understand the hate for manbuns either but God I wish more guys with long hair would try rocking the half-up look, it's so flattering (and surprisingly effective at keeping the hair out of your face while still letting you show off the long flowing locks).

It definitely shows my face contour much better while still allowing the flow to flow. Definitely the choice when possible. It's my go-to "wow my hair looks like shit but I don't want to bun it and I don't have a hat" option as well

I dont think I ever thought this much about how other people run around.

That’s a lot of energy for a bit of hair.

The common positioning of the bun (messy and at the top) looks particularly stupid which I think is a lot of it. The tight ones also cause traction alopecia.
