If a man has gray hair, are you not attracted to him?

Here in the United States, there is this commerical that I think is really stupid. It shows men and one of them they made grey (his entire self). Throughout the commerical it has similar scenes and it says something like.... Is she seeing YOU? Or is she seeing GRAY? Which as a woman, I think that's offensive because what it seems like they're saying that women are superfical and will only look at you if you have a non gray head of hair. So if you're a female, if a man has any gray hair, do you look the other way? If you're male and have any gray hair, do you feel that you don't get as many looks from women?

Passion does not appear on the Colour. The real attraction comes from the mind. so the Good mind has the Beautiful passion for a person in this world.

I find a gray haired man very attractive especialy with a beard and moustache. My hubby is graying nicely.

Some companies will do anything to sell their product. Grey hair does not have to mean old, my father for example started going grey in his late teens and it didn't put my mother off (just as well really lol). A lot of men look better as they start to go grey so no I would not look the other way, everyone is different and we all suit different things.

it doesn't matter if a guy has a gray hair actually. it doesn't mean that if you have a gray hair, women won't notice you. there are men who has gray hairs or even white hairs, and they're noticed by women. a great example to this is Richard Gere, the hollywood actor. even if he has white hair even before he turned 40, he's loved by everyone. it jsut depends on the personalit of the guy.

I thinke older men are very attractive, especially if they have a nice peppering of grey.

I am young - 28 - so if someone with grey hair hit on me I would look at them as a father figure. If somone who was older and had non-grey hair did the same, I would give them a chance. I am sure that is wrong on a few levels, but I wouldn't want to be with someone with grey hair.

What about someone who didn't have a full head of gray hair and they were close to the same age as you? One of my friends is in his early 30's and has gray hair at this temples but not fully.

Oh, well, at my age I think gray is wonderful. But then forty years ago when I was in my early twenties I thought the same thing. I actually prefered to date older men. A lot of women can not think a bald headed man is attractive but I do. So either hair or not, black, white, blonde, brunette gray, it really doesn't bother me anyway.

One of my favorite actors of all times is Sam Elliot. I think the grey makes him sexy. I do not have a problem with grey hair.

He is cool! I mostly remember him from being in some western movies that were based on books by Louis L'Amour.

I don't instantly turn away from guys with grey hair. It's quite common to describe some guys with grey hair as 'silver foxes'. Examples include George Clooney, William Peterson (Grissom in CSI), Mark Harmon (Gibbs in NCIS) and Richard Gere.

Absolutely not. Truth be told, there's actually been times I thought a little gray made a man sexier. Funny thing is, I can look at man with gray hair and think he's attractive but if I see the few strands of gray I have in my own hair showing I rush to cover them up right away!

I find men with gray hair are very distinguished and professional looking. But it's just a commercial so they'll go through any lengths to sell their product.

I think men with grey hair are very attractive. I have to say though the salt and pepper ones are even better. A greying man somehoe seems more wise than an older man with dyed hair. The greyer the better I have to say!

They just seemed to be trying to sell there product by making you feel that way... I know a few males that have grey hair and they are still good looking actually better than when they had coloured hair. Every body is different...

It's not the color of hair, some men look distinguished with gery hair. I believe that for some women it's how well they have taken care of themselves. Personal hygiene speaks volumes.

I have to tell you something. I am not close to the age where most people get gray hair, and I find myself quite attracted to older men who could be called a 'silver fox' who have grey hair. I actually think that grey hair on some men looks lovely. And I am really big on what a man's hair looks like, so I am not just coming from the viewpoint of someone who barely cares about hair! *laugh* Of course, it's what is on the inside that truly counts. But I am actually quite drawn to certain men of a certain age who have grey hair. So that commercial is pretty odd, if you ask me! I think that there are plenty of other women who feel the same as I do about this! ^_~

I don't care what color hair a man has, just so long as its well groomed. Gray hair doesn't bother me. In fact, I think it can be quite cute on some men. The fact of the matter is, both men and women get gray hair as they get older. It happens, and it's something we can't control. If a guy chooses to just let his hair go gray without dying it, more power to him! That shows he's comfortable with himself.

my ever loving hubby has grey hair and he still does it for me. i have to be honest and say if i was in the market for another the hair would not be an issue as most of the men i know are bald or balding even though not neccessarily old
