Going slightly gray can make men look more distinguished – I am starting to get some at the temples and have no issues with that
I have the same look / complexion as my dad and he still has a full (if slightly thinned) head of hair ( in his mid 70’s) so I expect to be the same

I think that you have to accept what life deals you in the hair stakes. Though greying can be dealt with by dye so can be easier to cope with. I think that it is a mid life crisis moment for many men when they reach that age and either lose the hair or go grey or even both.

I have an increasing number of grey hairs. I wouldn't mind so much if they were like my usual brown hairs only grey, but they're not. They're twice as course and stick out sideways, which looks like there's a scarecrow inside me trying to escape

Being Alive > Going grey = Going bald > Being dead
I'm going bald and my eyebrows are going grey.
Who gives a s**t? Really? Is it that important?

Beard seems to be going grey-except for the bits that seem to be going ginger. There is red hair in the family. OK if I keep it short though. Eyebrows getting a bit wild, but right colour
Billy Connoly song-" oh Jesus Christ I'm nearly forty, my pubic hair is going grey! I can't cut the mustard like I used to, I think it's downhill all the way" QUite some time ago, I was probably about 15, It's always stuck in my mind for some reason.

I don't own a comb or hairbrush.
I'm going grey already, but it's not a problem.
Admittedly, it's only noticeable when my hair gets a bit longer than it's typical length, and it much less noticeable when gelled, but it is definitely going grey none-the-less.

What is worse going grey or being a ginger?

Practically everyone of European origin has some ginger hairs in their beard. I certainly have, not too many, but look carefully and they're there. I bet you have to. Whoever you are.

Only a couple but they've always been there. I've had a shaved head before, as soon as it gets too grey or bald I'll do it again. No point worrying about it.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
