I was wondering what women think about older men using hair coloring products to hide the gray hair.

DON'T DO IT!!

I think it's disgusting when a man colors his hair. It looks so unnatural and.....eeeewww. It never looks like real hair color and it just makes them look older.

I thought about it for maybe 5-10 seconds a decade ago as the natural blonde started to turn to white.

But if it was good enough for Mark Twain and Einstein it's good enough for this guy, too. With no harm to the tender and delicate machismo, either.

i love, love,love silver hair on a man. i find it attractive and sexy, as do a lot of women. i don't find it makes him look old. after all, look at Taylor Hicks on American Idol - he's only in his 20s and he has grey hair and he doesn't dye it. the one thing i don't care for on an older man is long hair - now that makes guys look old (old hippies).

i've done it and have no regrets!...........what amuses me is the women who oppose it BUT at the same time they all clamor for youthful looking men!......especially if the man is older!

I Think a man looks sexy with graying hair. Gives them character. Look at Richard Gere, he looks better now than he did 10 yrs ago. Speaking of men who are getting up there in age,
why is it that men seem to get sooo much more attractive with age and most woman just
get old? Hey, that would be a good topic for a new thread. But seriously, I do like the gray
hair>

^...........no need for a new thread....its because what you describe is an illusion...that is, from a woman's perspective..........what women really find attractive is the SECURITY that an older man brings to the table.....they are generally accomplished and established, and don't need to worry about how the next bunch of bills are gonna get paid.....this fosters a sense of well being for a woman that translates into a feeling of attraction!

Oh please, the security that an older man brings to the table. I consider myself to be pretty well established and certainly do not need to worry how my bills are gonna get paid. I've been
managing quite well on my own for more than 10 yrs thank-you. And how can you possibly
voice any opinion from a woman's perspective when you have NO IDEA what being a woman is all about. Why are you trying to make this about your opinions when its actually about what I find attractive.

I've seen fellas with dyed black hair - and it looks so harsh and ages them them horribly. When the skin starts to loose it's pigment, so does the hair . . . but somehow I can't visualise a guy with blonde streaks.
Hmmmm . . .

My daughter suggested I color my hair once. I told her she and my son gave me every one of them and I will keep it as a badge of courage showing I survived child rearing lmao God bless them because I couldn’t be more proud of both of them !!!!!!!

My hair is that brownish/blondish color. I know full well that I have plenty gray hair but it kinda gets lost or something. I do know that my chest hair is 80% WHITE - my whiskers are 70% WHITE - and south of the border is totally BROWN - what is up with all the different hair color on me - I am a freak of nature boo hoo sniff sniff.

To do a dye job I would have to either bleach out the (down under) hair or dye my chest and head hair.

Are guys suppose to be ......... color coordinated these days?

.............. I am so confused on this topic

Don't do it! No really if the man feels unconfortable with his appearence then by all means change the appearence, it's no different than wearing toopais or however you spell that. For me personally I don't mind seeing some gray finally starting to come. I think it gives a little bit of a distinguished look. Maturity and respectful appearence.

Way true maeflowers, who the heck cares what security they have. I have no intention of placing myself in the position of sharing it. I'm free, I'm free!!!

Now for more important things.... some men really should die their hair and some look good with the grey, just as some women should die theirs, or wear makeup, etc. But that is my opinion of their physic and I'd be way more disappointed if they changed it for me rather than for themself. I have always felt that the most important factor is hygeine. Now there I have major issues.

Well, sum1reel, maybe you should take a look at what you are doing to attract those types of females. As Dr. Phil says, you must be getting some kind of reward or you wouldn't set out to attract needy and financially strapped women.

We are half a century past the 1950's where the man supported the "little woman". In a lot of cases, I have done far better financially than my male counterparts. And that came from my own hard work and not at the expense of a man because I have never been married. I guess you just haven't kept up with the times, eh?

Finally, if I, as a female, have a few gray hairs it's because I've earned them as I am sure my male counterparts have as well.

Leave it alone I think it looks great. Just don't tell me not to hide mine. Men gray attractively woman get it scattered all over the place and they just don't work with you.

I started going grey in high school, and by the time I hit 40 I was pretty much white.

Sort of a 'Steve Martin' effect

I like it the way it is. I joke about it sometimes, but I would never seriously consider coloring it. Sometimes you get lucky when you turn grey.

But every Halloween I tell people I'm going to dye my hair black and go as my twin brother

Well I guess I'm still sitting on the fence here with a decision. Most of my gray is in the temples. The other advice is to have a professional do the job. I guess it all depends on who I start dating. If they color their hair I will and if not I won't. There was a post elsewhere that said she hated the idea of a women who looked 40 dating a man who looked 60 when they were both the same age.

Canehdianman, that's the same reason I don't color my hair! Besides, it would mean maintaining the color, and I'm not good at followups.
