Men ‘look distinguished’ with grey hair while women look washed out.
A woman with grey hair signals that she is past her best-before date to have children and won’t attract very many suitors. And many women are comfortable with that, understandably.
It’s a double standard for sure, but that’s just the way life goes.
Run, Patrick, run!
There’s an old Spanish proverb translated means…
“He who tells the truth, better have a fast horse.” lol!
Men like to think they “look distinguished” with the grey hair,
But not every dude is Cary Grant.
Most of them look as past their prime as women.
Age is mean to all of us.
Most people tend to insult me right out.
Meh!
I never lose any sleep over it. Did when I was younger but now I have joined the Church of his Holy Owls and no longer give a hoot.
I look forward to being a wizard
I still find women with grey attractive. I’m 56 so most women in my age bracket are like that.
My Dad is 85 and barely has a few grey hairs…I’m the same. Weird genes or somethin.
And if anything happened to my wife, I’d still like to meet a woman down the road around the same age as me…50-60 years old.
Somebody who would get all of my corny joke references. lol!
Anyhoo…isn’t 50 the new 30 anyways?
I really don’t know whether men look more or less attractive to the opposite gender with a little gray hair.
I think that both genders look more experienced with a little gray hair.
Or as a “touch of gray” hair coloring commercial once said, “old enough to know what I’m doing, and still young enough to do it.”
When I was about 28, a young lady about my age went browsing for older men with some gray hair, online, in front of me, and indicated one of the reasons was: they weren’t [mentally challenged.]
Can you say ‘gold digger’?
There’s that, too. Older men have had more time to try to accumulate money.
Young women want the surfer dude, but switch to wanting the nerd later in life for security.
My advice again for women…
Hook up with a hard worker who makes you laugh. That way you’ll always have food on the table and a smile on your face.
I think that’s a pretty broad generalization, but I’m not a woman. In my years, I think I’ve seen women attracted to many different guys for many different reasons. Getting into those would be taking this thread way off topic, though.
(Edit) Maybe we should stick to gray hair and insults (edit)
I have lots of grey in my beard.
My mom likes to point out that I supposedly have a bald spot on my head. I have looked repeatedly in the mirror and I just see thinning, but whatever. She also says my hair has lots of grey.
Whatever, my mom is R00D, but I don’t really care anymore.
You lust when you are young…and want security when you are older. No biggie…it’s just a natural evolution of growing older.
I prefer women my own age. I would never date a 20 something if I was single.
My hair is getting a little grey. I don’t mind. Don’t care a lot about such things. What an idiot to say such a thing.
My mum and dad were/are the ones saying such things to me most. I have a normal BMI, but some curves. Dad recently told me: “this other girl is even fatter than you”. He also said to several people that it would be better for everybody if I never got a relationship and that he would pity the man who would be my boyfriend (and thanks again dad). My friend, who speaks to me daily, told me I was open, kind and creative. My brother, who didn’t speak to me for years and for the last decades saw me only on family birthdays, said my friend mustn’t know me very well then.
I don’t think I like my family much.
Just be yourself.
“People would like you more and find you kind of attractive if you put more effort into your looks”
I shower frequently, wear clean clothes, brush my teeth, and my skin is impeccable.
I do not need to shave random bodyparts and wear foundation just so random people might want to doink me.
Why are you stereotyping so much in your comments about women. For real……
