Question: I was told by a "know it all" that in Korea men dye their hair and that I should do this so as to have a more active dating life"?????

I have grayish/white hair and I keep it trimmed and I just hate the hassle of getting it dyed. You sit there forever and it stinks etc. Then the roots come up white and you have to rush back and go through the hassle again.

I am not sure I would even want to date someone who expects me to dye my hair so as to look younger? And, is there anything worse than dyed hair and a wrinkling face-it is so obvious.

I m arguing with myself on this one. I may get it dyed in a lighter brown as it does not look as false that way.

I know most of you do not think of this for reason of being so young

Please don't do it! Yes, the roots come out fast, and for some reason when western white men dye their hair, it often comes out orangish.

Who are you wanting to date, anyway? The really young ones won't be fooled, and the mature ones shouldn't care. Remember, you guys get away with more than us women- gray hair on you is "distinguished". Cool

A classy lady, a real woman.....could care less if you have hair, no hair, or it's gray. She's looking at your style, personality, etc.
Millions of old and older koreans dye their hair and it looks tacky.
Who are they trying to fool anyway!?
Just be yourself, dress sharply, have the gift of gab and don't be phony.
If she worries about your hair��you��re dating the wrong female!

Do it if it's for fun and fashion (funky colours, streaks, etc).
Don't if it's to hide grey.

There is some evidence to suggest that dark hair dye is unsafe. It could raise the risk of developing lymphoma.

I think greying hair makes a guy look more distinguished.

Personaly, if I was ever in the situation where I was thinking about the dye job or the combover (which is a more reralistic possibility in my slightly thinning case), I would have no problem just breaking out the clippers.




BZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!
