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.

lol, nice. 
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. |

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. |

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.  |

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. |

Korean girls will stop dressing like you see them now in the clubs, the subway, the cafes, the bus stops.
short skirts, pretty dresses, boots, short shorts, all that sexy get up..
it all gets retired once they get married.
Western women in their 40's married with kids will still dress sexy when going out. Korean wives will not.
something to think about. |

I see no trouble with band T shirts. T shirts are fine in general so long as they fit well and are well kept. The only thing I find bothersome is overly offensive or inflammatory clothing. It's not so much I care, but it makes a person look like a tool with no concern for others around them. Also if a shirt just has words and says something like "I do what the voices tell me", I just gag. It's horrific. Of course, when I was 20 I worked in a T shirt shop that made things like this so I might be overly sensitive.
As for plugs at 28, you're not too old.. yet. But it depends on your personality. If you're not feeling it, no one else will be either. |

Even the single Korean girls who are ultra-conservative don't wear cute stuff. They dress like old ladies in their 20s and 30s. The thing I really can't get into are those HUGE, and I mean HUGE shirtdresses that you could fit 5 people into...and some of them are double uh-ohs. These are the huge shirts/shirtdresses that say stuff like "WALKING ALONG" in big letters...OK, so you are walking along...OK...that's nice....That's as bad as big letters that say "Juicy" on your rear end. Also, I think Koreans are getting away from the cute/princessy stuff. Not me...I love all the girly girl stuff and pink, ribbons, bows, etc. Also, we have to wear indoor shoes or slippers at work. All the Korean girls/ladies wear old lady looking slippers with those ugly old lady short stocking things...I am the only one who buys cute regular shoes for wearing indoors...and then I have to keep saying "I only wear these inside, even though they are regular shoes"...hehehe I am not trying to be mean...people can wear shoes on their heads for all I care...whatever floats their boats, I guess. |

Oh, oh, oh...and what's with all the black, brown and gray clothes everywhere? I managed to get myself a cute pink sweater on Monday...and in the past, I bought a gorgeous pink sweater in Edae...I've had people say stuff like "But, it's fall/winter...so pink is harder to find. I just don't believe seasons dictate color. I like black, brown and gray...got nothing against them...but I like actual colors too..pink, blue, red, etc. That's about as tacky as saying no white after Labor Day.  |

I just spent give or take 73 hours shopping for clothes with my korean friend. 72.8 of those hours were me observing him do all the buying, and 0.2 of it was me pointing at something and making an ok sign with my hand.
If this is what dressing my age is going to take, consider me an adjosshi. Actually I did buy an awesome old-man hat. I'm gonna look siccc |
