Why is it socially unacceptable for men to dye their hair?

Question

Justin4563 · Accepted Answer

I find that I’m a very feminine guy and I have no problem with men doing “feminine things” like dying their hair! I can’t help it. I’m obsessed with my appearance more than a woman. I’m what you’d call a pretty boy. Was voted best looking in my high school class etc. sorry it’s who iam can’t help it—-I’m very feminine get over it all you machismo guys out there☺️

If you're a punk rocker, it's OK.

It's not the most masucline thing for a guy to do. Guys should just go to a barber, get a cut and shave and maybe a shampoo at most. Guys should not be spending that much time and product on their hair.

And when guys get older and dye their hair because of grays, it looks fake.

I am a 100% straight guy and I’ve been highlighting my hair since I was 16.

Truth is I’m part redhead, part natural blonde and part brown hair. So it looks natural when I do it. And I just feel confident because I hated the way I looked growing up as a kid. I feel more confident after the highlights are done.

If you want to judge that as feminine you can kindly go f*cl yourself. But it’s literally a part of my identity for 20 years now.

DJB72 · Answer

It isn't. Matt Le Blanc dyed his hair for all ten seasons of "Friends", as did James Michael Taylor (Gunther) It's just that most men don't talk about it

aceleon · Answer

well i guess a man putting that much effort on how he looks and such things looks feminine to some people?

CheeseMonster · Answer

Because pretty men confuse the sexists? I don't know. Something about beauty standards and men's restricted individuality.

Little_Bumblebee · Answer

.. it isn't? At least not what I've experienced at all.

RingOfFire · Answer

Because it is a feminine trait to adorn your appearance with cosmetic adornments. So if a man does is it is seen as a lack of masculinity which is abnormal in a man.

spartan55 · Answer

Guys that color their hair are usually incredibly vain, and gay too.

It's socially unacceptable for a man to do anything nowadays so I'm not surprised why you ask this.

I've never heard it being socially unacceptable. I have dyed my hair pitch black multiple times already. It looks good.

_piotr · Answer

Because women gather all the power in the society. They can do what they want, but men are getting locked in social expectations cage.

Darkest-Knight · Answer

Back in the '80's When I was in rock bands (and when I had hair LOL), I dyed my hair all the time. In fact at one point I had 6 different colours in it at the same time.

Better question is why do you think it's socially unacceptable. It's acceptable in most places in the world.

Fireguy17 · Answer

I didn't know it was. Why would you think that? There are lots of kids that dye their hair.

art84 · Answer

I don't dye my hair even though am getting little bits of grey hairs. I just trim them with scissors or get a hair cut if I need one.
