I'm getting mine braided in summer, so no I don't think it looks feminine.

I personally like that look.
I don't think Adrian Paul looked pretty
feminine in Highlander the few times he had braided hair.

I really like braided hair, though I find it hard to do it myself. You should try it sometime and see how you like it.

unles your talking about a crown braid or dutch spiral, those are the only braids I consider "feminine". You can braid it any way you want and it will look like a braid on YOUR head...if you are 5'2 and 100 lbs wet with no body hair then you might look feminine..but if that ain't your attitude, then your still a guy with a braid. My braid hits me mid-back (standard 3-strand) or mid-bottom of the shoulder blaids in a French braid.

i agree with everyone else here...i don't think it looks particularly feminine at all...i think it looks pretty cool...i've never been exactly successful at getting it done, but, when i've seen other guys with their hair braided, in a standard three stand or a french braid, i've always thought it looked great.

There's an old story of a Spanish bull fighter. He had his male friends over to his house. He cooked dinner for them. One of his friends began to tease him about cooking, that it was a woman's work and about wearing an apron while he cooked, saying it made him look feminine.
The indignant apron wearing bull fighter looked down his nose at his friend and said very firmly, "Sir, I'll have you know that EVERYTHING I do is masculine!"
And so it is with braids. If I choose to wear braids then they are
by definition masculine because they are on my male head.
My hair is to my butt. Women at work often ask to braid it. I let them. One asked to put it in a French braid. I thought it looked very cool. No one teased me about it. My masculinity is not in question simply be wearing braids.
Think of wearing braids as one step beyond wearing your hair long in the first place, then enjoy.
