No way, if it's coming in a nice shade of silver.

Of course it's just my opinion but I've never yet seen a good 'home' dye job on a guy.

There is a certain honesty to letting your hair become whatever color it happens to be naturally.

Ya can't dye away bald...
but as long as I have hair, it can be any color I want it to be.

I did dye my hair when I was dating a woman 18 years younger than me, and it did make me look 10-15 years younger; but I'm at the point now, that even looking 15 years younger, I'd still look like an old guy...

I guess it is up to the guy and how they feel. Now the bad part I know it is wrong but I really do not like gray hair on a women I dated a very nice lady but just could not take the gray hair Sorry if that makes me a shollow person but gray hair is a turn off for me .

Going with the gray has a lot to do with accepting who you are and a level of comfort and confidence in yourself.
I look at a woman who has these characteristics as being very attractive.

Absolutely not! Be happy with who you are, at whatever stage.
It looks so phony, especially on an older man and for some reason they always seem to pick a very dark color which looks even worse.

What is all this "I love grey" nonsense??? I can understand a woman thinking an older man looks attractive with a little grey, but c’mon… without colour you wouldn’t see my facial hair at 5 yards.

For goodness sake, it's no different to a woman putting on her face before leaving the house! Holy For Men Only.

I think a graying man looks distinguished, where it takes a certain woman to pull it off, others just look old.

I like gray or white hair on a guy, but then again, if I liked dyed hair, I would color mine.

Yes I think so! They can take years off by doing this.

I happen to like men with natural/dyed blonde.. red.. brown.. black.. gray.. silver.. white.. with or without.. purple/pink/green/orange/blue streaks going through their hair.. or even those with.. no hair.

You see.. I like what's inside his skull.. and under his ribs much more than his dead calcium deposits..

If he's got some intelligence (and I'm not talking Einstien).. a good sense of humor.. and love in his heart that he's more than willing to part with.. I could care less about the color or the length of his hair.. and bald.. can be just as sexy!

No, I think it looks silly on men close up. Besides, culturally you guys don't need to do this. The process that most women go through--including myself--is mulitple colors to create a natural looks. I might not be doing this myself if I was like my mom, a beautiful "salt n pepper" at a young age. Instead, I would just look "mousy".

Put your money in a good mutual fund recomended my Morningstar!

If they want to, but know that even if the hair is dyed a darker color (and, personally, I think silver or white hair is AWESOME), the body tells the tale....

Guys, ever hear of "old man shuffle?" The butt flattens out, the guy doesn't stand ramrod straight anymore (if he ever did), and he has this "walk" that gives the age away everytime.....even if he doesn't have "old man shuffle" the pregnant belly is also a dead giveaway....

Dyed, streaked, bleached, frosted or au natural -
it's a personal choice and isn't it great that you still have hair to worry about ?
For myself, as I said before, au natural is great. For some reason mail vanity that includes obvious signs of 'keeping old age at bay' is a little offputting to me.
Now if a fellow just went whole hog, streaked, spiked, mussed with that certain elan, then it's more about being 'with it' rather than 'hiding' something.

I'm tellin ya....I've seen older men with silver/gray hair who carried themselves like 35 year olds, and older men with dyed hair who had that famous "old man shuffle....."

It takes more than dyed hair to "take the years off..."

Twenty years ago, when I was dating a woman thirty years older, I did die my hair silver. She died her hair and dressed provocatively. She looked dynamite, dressed, but without... yewww, belch. I dated her for six months, and she insisted that she must look younger than me. She would have anyway, even with my natural colour, but she wanted people to think that she could be my daughter's age. It worked on most people, except her daughter and marrying-age grandchildren.

I don't see anything wrong with a man who colors his hair. Same with women. I believe men or women shouldn't color their hair with the dark tones, black or dark brown. Those colors seem to bring out the facial wrinkles.

If you are going to color, go with one color lighter than your natural color. Works for me!!
