Why most men embrace grey hair?

[Anonymous]

Not only baldness... but most mn tend to embrace grey hair unlike women.

They don't dye them which isn't very expensive and almsot everyone can afford it.

If my hair becomes grey i'd definetely dye them

[Roarke]

i'm 57 and i just gave up to nature.. I used Graecian for years but it is not a dye and works quite effectively. lol i can tell where you're coming from... you are horrified to think that getting chicks will be tougher as you get older... to some extent you are right, but you also have to remember that as we age it gets less and less important.

[Negrodamus]

We men like it b/c grey hair can look badass. look at frank guistra

[Asker]

lol he's like a pipe... i'd never want to be just like that

[Negrodamus]

he's also a billionaire, so i think he's doing alright for himself

[Asker]

if i was a billionaire then i'd not let myself go just like this... i'd take better treatments since i could afford them

[Negrodamus]

oh what a world we live in when an old man like frank guistra is considered unkept

[Asker]

he looks like 70 years old, and he isn't even 60. not a good thing for someone who's a billionaire

[Asker]

in fact i'd consider him crazy since he is a billionaire and he doesn't take care of himself.

[Negrodamus]

i lol'd

[Asker]

why? how can we call someone who's a BILLIONAIRE and he can AFFORD good tretments for himself, yet he remains ugly?

[Negrodamus]

to each their own opinion mate

[LastGirlScout]

Men generally get more handsome as they get older and grey hair looks sexy. Women often want to appear younger so that they are more attractive to men as the media and society pushes on to you that youth=beauty. I'm planning on dying it ALL silver grey when mine starts to go... I'd love to do it now but it won't take on my hair :(

[Asker]

why you should do that? anf i'm not like those guys who don't care about their hair

[LastGirlScout]

Don't care? What, you think guys who allow their grey to show don't care? And I want to dye it because I think it's a cool colour. www.mrkate.com/.../...894bdde2c6f69d1a1bba1ba0.jpg

[Asker]

omfg she's lke a witch... i'd call it a creepy color

[LastGirlScout]

Ha! Each to their own! I'd take the piss out of my guy if he dyed his hair to hide his grey. Sexist? Yeah probably!

[Asker]

i'd dye them definetely, even if they didn't suit me. i hate to look like a pipe

[LastGirlScout]

Like a pipe? What? My bf has a few silver hairs occasionally (at the grand old age of 27!) I find them amongst his thick, dark hair and I think when it finally happens he'll look really sexy. Sexier than leaving a trail of hair dye on the towels and pillows!

[Asker]

like a smoking pipe. lol it's an inside joke actually. because grey hair reminds me of tired old guys smoking a pipe. 27 is very young for grey hair though. i'll be 27 in just 4 years, i'd go crazy if i see any grey color on my hair at this young age... it's a miracle for me that he doesn't care

[LastGirlScout]

Why would he? He's got incredibly thick, dark hair and very occasionally I spot a silver one in amongst it. It's perfectly normal and it's far better than him going bald!

[Asker]

the only thing that's better about it, is tha cure is much cheaper. lol.
it's much cheaper to dye your hair, than buying a good wig (not one that will fall off everytime you lean, lol) or adding hair grafts.
wish nothing will happen to me among these 2 anyway

[LastGirlScout]

I think you've just got to accept it if you're going bald, hair plugs and wigs look ridiculous and I have much more respect for someone who can just be happy in their own skin. I've been out with a guy who was losing his hair mid-twenties, he was quite gutted about it but it didn't bother me at all.

[Asker]

me? accept? LOL... You consinder me so dumb to accept what this monster called "nature" has done to me? never... and respect means nothing to me btw...

[LastGirlScout]

Why does it bother you if you have grey hair?

[Asker]

because i'd look like sth i don't like!!! and don't forget that most ARTISTS dye them... only boring common people let them as it is

[LastGirlScout]

Ha... Ok, whatever.

[feral_shade]

men are less preoccupied with the manner in which they express themselves... so nature's inevitable deterioration has less of a profound impact on their self-image.

[Asker]

i have only one thing to say... NATURE KILLS

[feral_shade]

also, because of the hormone stability and thicker skin (coupled with relatively lower societal standards), men generally age better than women

... and incidentally, because of the lower life expectancy... they don't have to see their aging reflection in the mirror as often

[Asker]

personally i'd worry if i was looking old like sh*t

[feral_shade]

that's an inevitability, lol

one could say that the moment something is born, it begins a long, slow death :)

[feral_shade]

if you're destined to look "old like sh*t" anyway... and you're driven to live a long life... why waste it with years of constant worry?

[Asker]

what to do a long life when you'll look... ugly?

[feral_shade]

at that point... you're whole body starts breaking down... appearance is the least of your worries ;)

[sunlight90]

It is not inevitable.

[feral_shade]

if it weren't inevitable, people would live much, much longer... perhaps forever
... i don't see that happening :)

[BrunetteNYC]

It depends how it looks on the man, some wear it well, other just look bad with it. Overall, I have to admit there were a few men that had it and it looked nice.

[Asker]

but of course... grey hair is a sign of ageing, so it's not good

[Encolpius]

Because it makes us look distinguished. Personally, think it makes women look distinguished too. I told my girlfriend that she didn't have to dye her grey steaks on my account. I actually like it better that way.

I can't wait until I can grow a long, white beard.

[Asker]

you want to look like a hermit? why?

[Encolpius]

Because it is manly, and I want to look like someone from the Bible :)

[Asker]

and ugly

[Encolpius]

Sorry, but most of the world thinks the opposite of that. Guys with beards get a lot more respect from other men.

[Asker]

i don't care about respect much. what to do with the respect if i'm not beautiful. and a long beard definetely makes you ugly.

[Encolpius]

Masculinity is usually not "pretty." It's rugged.

[Asker]

and that's why i hate masculinity... i don't want to look like a prehistoric person

[Encolpius]

Beards are a sign of maturity and wisdom.

[Asker]

i don't care for maturity, wisdom and foolish things like that. the only thing i want is to be pretty.

[steveguitar]

men don't care. if I get grey hair before 35 I might do it, but I really have no care, I don't get girls anyways, why am I going to try so hard to look young? I am not.

[Asker]

men don't care because of boredom, and because some girls think it's mature... LOL

but no one could tell them that it's ugly so the'll start to worry

[Slavanna]

My dad has black hair with patches of grey. In my opinion that gives him a serious, mature look, nothing wrong about that.

[Asker]

i'd not want to if i was like that. i'd dye those patches

[ThatBritishLad]

Because if you ask me, it's incredibly vain to try and hold onto youth when it's inevitable that you'll age. I find it funny when you see balding guys wearing toupees, or dying their hair so it looks all weird.

[Asker]

weird to stop what this monster called 'nature" has done to you?

[ThatBritishLad]

Nature's a bitch. She can also make earthquakes and tornados, so you might as well bow to her mercy.

[Asker]

i won't!!!

[Aizou]

I dye my hair white anyway, I don't
see a problem. ^.~

[Asker]

why you do that? you're very young

[Aizou]

I do it because I like the look
I can't quite explain it, but that's
basically how it is. ^.^

[Anonymous]

Because they like to present themselves as who they really are... not some fake version of themselves that they were able to obtain through cosmetics.

[Asker]

if real makes you ugly then what can i say

[Opinion Owner]

That you're a feminine guy that cares too much about his own appearance. Which isn't very attractive unless you're trying to attract homosexual males.

[Asker]

only a guy with a lack of inteligence would let himself go. (see? i didn't use the word "idiot" i'm polite enough)

[ihatethiswebsite]

Why do you care so much. You don't like that men don't wear wigs when they are bald and now you don't like when their hair turns grey

[Asker]

because if i go bald i'd wear a wig, and if my hair went grey i'll dye them. i won't let them as it is

[blake112068]

I have grey hair don't mind at all and my girl loves it. I see a lot of men trying to cover up and looks funny.

[Asker]

but it's a sign of ageing!!!

[blake112068]

So you have problem with ageing not with grey hair.

[AverageWhiteBoy]

coloring your hair won't make you look younger, just stupid.

[Asker]

then why many artists dye them?

[Anonymous]

All the older men i know dont get grey hair till their like in their 80's so at that age id say embrace it

[Asker]

huh... where do you live? most men start greying during their 30s

[Opinion Owner]

Australia , yeah they get the small amount but you can't see it as more in the roots but its a few , hope i turn out the same

[Anonymous]

I got some greys and cannot prevent age and death so why try to hide it?

[Asker]

if you're 18 to 24 and have some greys as you say, then it's very very bad...

[Opinion Owner]

Well it's not because I am 43.

[Asker]

then why in your profile it says 18 to 24? lol

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe I like it and we have been through this already :)

[Anonymous]

I'm going all out bald since my hair is falling out

[Sgt-Shaquiri]

same dude :p I dont need to worry about white hair... besides maybe my beard.

[Asker]

@sgt-shaquiri baldness isn't funny

[Sgt-Shaquiri]

I'm going bald too... I just shaved my hair off and said "fuck it".

[Asker]

its not "fuck it" look for a treatment if you have the money seriously... it's a very scary thing

[misscocobutter]

I love grey hair on men mmmmm silver fox...

[Asker]

why most girls like grey hair? they look like they have ashes on their head

[misscocobutter]

Something about it is just hot to me, especially if the guy has a young face with it. Oh yum!!! He just seems smarter and more experienced I think

[Asker]

experience is useless if you're old... i wish my hair will never become grey, and if they do i'd dye them a unique color like red or blue

[lukino]

Because George Clooney man. Pioneer in the trend

[Asker]

i always thought of him as ugly

[Phoenix98]

I'll embrace it I like the salt and pepper look.

[Asker]

you're too young for this though lol

[Phoenix98]

Obvisouly right now ya, but I'm not talking about right now I'm talking in the future when I get older.

[Dandeus]

Because they're not insecure.

[WhaChaChaKing]

I think gray hair is pretty on men and women.

[Asker]

i don't think so... a man looks like some old dad and a woman looks like a witch

[WhaChaChaKing]

Not if they take care of their hair.

[SadLolita]

I like grey hair on men

[COCOCHANEL]

maybe they like the ash tone

[samurai_girl93]

On some men it makes them look sophisticated.

[Asker]

but not beautiful
