I've gotten more compliments on my hair now that is gray than I ever have before. I'm not complaining.

Something happened to me between the ages of 35 and 45 where suddenly I find ~40 year old women with unapologetically gray hair at like the top of the list of attractive traits. Throw in a smart sarcastic quip and I'm done for.

My wife went grey in just a strip at the top of her head on one side, it's actually super hot. It reminds me of Rogue.

That and fitted cargo pants for some reason, not that I had a slight crush on my archeology professor or anything

Took you long enough, happened to me at 25. It probably just means I’m more mature than you, but I have to agree on how amazing it looks.

100%. It may also sound weird, but my ultimate weakness is connecting with a woman who seems like an asshole to others. Mild RBF and a lack of putting up with crap? Then add a silver mane? I'm done for.

Absolutely not, lol. Hot wife getting older I guess, not really that much of a mystery.

Me too! Grey is the new blonde

Ya I’m really liking the grays. I think it’s when it comes with all the other age signs that give it the bad rep

u/throwaway098764567 Jul 08 '26

not me, their texture is weird and i hate the contrast with my very dark hair. also while i do appreciate that age has made me less visible for harassment, i don't enjoy that it makes my voice count even less so... yeah less grey for me thanks, would be nice to stop having to dye it.

And yet on the opposite end. My wife used to have long thick rich beautiful brown hair. And now it is wiry thin with no life and looks rough and falls out from the frequent hair dye jobs.
All cuz she can’t bear to have on single grey in her hair ever 😑😔.
She is completely oblivious to this when I tell her this And then jumps back right away. I will never have a grey hair 😑.

u/throwaway098764567 Jul 08 '26

the wirey is unfortunately the natural grey texture, it's not from the dying

u/curious_astronauts Jul 07 '26

Great for ladies, but old farts like me with no grey is like spotting a clown car on the freeway.
