If a man who is 56 yrs. young and has gray hair and wants to get rid of it and have it colored, what do the women out there think. I dont like the gray hair and am physically fit , I can out work most men and want to make myself look better, single also.

I'm 60. I have very little grey hair. But I have naturally blonde hair. At this age people mistake blonde for grey. So, about every three weeks I play with it a bit, dark blonde to a medium brunette. I have no desire to conceal I dye it.

One big mistake many men make in dying hair is going way too dark.

Most people think my age is between 37 and 46. Mainly my face. My physic is more like a 25 year old. I love out running younger guys. Still do a 4:47 mile. If I was up against real competition, I bet I would put on the after burner and go faster. I think 30 off that possible.

There are women who prefer it both ways, so it is really your preference. Just avoid a comb over, I haven't met a woman yet that likes that look. Good luck!

I would have it done at a salon so that they can help you match everything together.. complexion, eye color, brow color .. etc and they can also save a file on you so that they will always know the mix to use on you.
I personally love to see gray in a man's hair. I think it is distinguished looking and I think it is rather attractive.. usually it is those who do not keep themselves up in which look badly with it but for the occaisional person who does not have the pretty gray or white coloring but maybe the burnt snow look.. sure.. color it and have fun!
I like natural tho!

I'm all about improving on any way possible, as long as it's for yourself, and not to try and get younger chicks. And as long as you're not lying about your age. If it makes you happy, do it.
If you're using this opportunity to GET women- I suggest Yahoo! Personals, or EHarmony.com.

I think that gray hair looks good on most older men. Be sure that colored hair will look good on you - you don't want it to stand out.

Um, leave the gray. Women don't mind. Its the face and the body that matter more.

Gray hair is sexy to most women.
But, you need to please yourself.
When you feel good about yourself, others will find you more attractive. Be confident! :D Good Luck!

Do what you think is best for you. If you think you'll look better if dyed then do it. Don't bother what others think or say cos you are living for yourself and not others. You are not doing anything wrong to harm other sso why bother.

are you talking about me again

Go to a good salon and get those greys colored. Wear a pair of blue denims and go get the ladies!

I think grey hair makes a man look incredibly distinguished!

Of course, it is about what makes YOU feel good about yourself. If you want it coloured, I would definitely go to a professional to get it done. I really don't think many women would be turned off you having your hair coloured, OR by the grey.

I think gray hair on a guy looks sexy, but if you want to dye it, you should just try it. A co-worker was completely gray and dyed his hair a light brown color but didn't keep at it, and ended up going back to gray although he is young and prematurely gray.

Yeah, I think the silver wolf look is very distinguished, ditto with silvery beard and moustache if you like facial hair. But if you really don't like the silver, by all means touch it up but be careful that it still looks natural. And I agree with the advice about comb-overs. They just look....wrong.

well i'm 24 & my guy is 51 with dark gray hair & i wouldn't have it any other way however if you do want to colour your hair, make sure you visit a colourist at a salon at do it gradually.

Your 56 years old, your not fooling anyone by dying your hair, and besides gray hair can be kinda sexy. I think you should let it go natural for a while and see what kind of reaction you get. If you decide you like it better dyed then go back to dying it.

I don't get the whole hair dye thing. My husband has grey hair and I still find him attractive. When I see an old guy with dark hair, I think he isn't comfortable with who he is and the stage of life he is in, and I steer clear.

I think the answer lies in your own words.."I don't like gray hair".."want to make myself look better, single also." I understand this need for change and improvement exactly. When my husband left, there was, among a plethora of other feelings, beliefs like "I wasn't attractive enough". After a while, though, I also began to see new opportunities to meet new, interesting people, which included the opposite sex. After you've been with someone for a long time though, you become aware that it might be time to up the odds. I renewed my interest in hobbies like painting and bushwalking, bought new clothes and makeup, deliberately sought out social situations. If it makes you feel good about yourself, do it. It's not the new look that will change things for you, but that doesn't matter. Your renewed self-confidence will attract other people to you and their support will be invaluable.
