Sure, you do. If you notice a receding scalp or a bald spot, just get the appropriate meds. I pay like $100/year to keep my hair, and I just pop a pill once a day. My maternal grandfather balded by 35. I'll have a full head of hair.


Do they have that for grey hair? All the men on my mom's side of the family went grey in their 20's and I'm already noticing my own hair starting to go grey at 26. There's no pill for that, is there?


Not that I know of.

I'd snoop around for it online, though, before giving up.

I just wear a collared, short sleeved cotton shirt in just about any color. I guess that's called a polo shirt but not RL Polo brand. Most of mine are from Banana Republic.

That, with a pair of khaki pants or blue jeans, or brown Cole Haan loafers if I want to be more business casual.


Dad?

lol, nice. Laughing

Yeah I guess I dress kind of old for my age, but I think I look more preppy as opposed to fatherly. It's probably because I've had to wear a suit and tie to work ever since I got out of college. My company doesn't even let us wear jeans on "casual Fridays," it just means we can wear cotton instead of wool, and no tie.

horrible example. sorry.


You're right. He probably has no sense of humor and couldn't grasp subtlety if it hit him with a forklift. Unlike the posters on this - hey, wait.


can you use sarcasm brackets next time? [sarcasm]thanks[/sarcasm]

A couple of months ago I saw an older man - probably late 60s to early 70s.

The cropped his hair short, had a goatee, wore multiple earrings, fake tan, tribal tattoos, and wore a Lady Gaga tank top. Shocked

i think when you're that age, it's okay to be the crazy old guy.

Aren't you glad that Adjummas don't wear mini-skirts? They are sorta extreme about "dressing your age" which makes some of them look so much older than they are but they seem to think that the way they dress is more dignified.


A sequined t-shirt reading "Hot stuff!" is dignified and age-appropriate?

It wasn't a knock by any means, I think my old man dresses well.
