I like grey hair on men.. very sexy, plus it matches my own! Seriously - I think it's nicer to grow old gracefully. I must admit that seeing Frances fluffy-bits Wilson with greying hair was a bit of a shock but I'm used to it now.

Now that was a brave Sonnet Tony, also full of mystery. Good luck Sir!

Thanks, guys. I guess people who are settled and happy don't need to change

I don't use hair coloring, like my brothers do
I have noticed that I do have my old brown hair color coming out of the shower and for maybe an hour or so afterwards.  But I am what I am and do not see the point of changing that.

Answers to the great mysteries of time? It's a bit early, Tony.

My dad was bald, but I'm not (thank God).

I am many a times careless even about my clothes, until my wife tell me that unles i changed and looked more decent she'll not go out with me. I tell her let my hair go gray then I'll wear good clothes. Sometimes I use it as a ploy to avoid going out. Thank God I'm not bald yet, though thining, yes.

Well there are very few that show up now that I probably wont again for another few years until it hits 50 and we will be lucky to have made it that far.  I too do not look my age

Chris - yes, that is what they say - the distinguished fatherly look.
Still seems strange, though.

Najwa - glad to hear your daughter is pretty. Maybe she got that from you?

Lustorlove - very true. That happened, quite a few years ago.
I couldn't recognise some of my classmates, they had gone bald or changed in some other way that made them unrecognisable. But the women looked more or less the same as fifteen years before. Needless to say, i still looked incredibly youthful then! I'd be scared to go to one now though. Even if I hadn't aged as much as some of them, it would highlight how old we are now!

Personally Tony-I think men with greying hair look very 'distinguished'.
Maybe it's partly to do with women 'recognising' the look of their 'father'? and feeling comfortable with that? About turn and perhaps we don't want to be labelled 'cradle snatchers'-(if the man gets his colour from a bottle!) Nice one Tony.
