We live in a culture that places a lot of emphasis on youth and looking young, which is why many women take to hair dye before they let a strand of gray tarnish their locks. While there are some men who also opt for a good dye job at the first sign of gray, it’s more common for a guy to let his hair naturally do what it’s going to do. Now, I’m not saying I’m into men decades older than me, but I do think a bit of gray flecking a beard or a salt and pepper mane can be pretty gorgeous. So do you think gray hair is a turn-on or turn-off?

Apart from Anderson Cooper, I'm not into this. Not a fan of the Viagra look.
1For me, it's a turn-on. Not on shaggy old creepy weirdos, but on a good-looking, smart guy, it can really enhance his appeal.
2Jude C you are right on about Anderson Cooper. Anderson and Dr. Drew are the only men who I can say are very sexy with grey hair.
3Love grey hair on a man, but "younger" older men, NOt Peepaws or anything.
4blech
5maybe its cuz im 24...
I'm fine with it, as long as the hair is groomed.
Personally, I find it a turn-off if a man dyes his hair. That's my personal taste.
Incidentally, I've been graying since I was a teenager. It's my genetics. I have a cousin and uncle who were completely gray by their late 30's. It seems that I'm heading in that direction, too. Personally, I'm fine with it. My husband thinks it looks neat. The rest of me looks really young (last week I was mistaken for a high school student, in spite of my gray hairs
). My husband thinks I would look surreal, almost elf-like with silver hair. Whatevers. LOL
6agree with others - must be groomed, on an already good looking middle-aged man who has a smart, mature, intelligent look to him and dresses well
7depends on the man...
8LOL Jude!!
I think grey hair can be sexy...my 27 year old hubs has a few...he hates them, along with his "smile lines" but I think both are very attractive.
And I agree with skigurl - it has to be part of a complete look. I mean, Dustin Hoffman has grey hair, but...
9GlowingMoon, you always have the cutest posts about your adoring husband!
10I agree that it depends on the man. On certain men, it totally adds to their overall appeal.
11Uh, Dr Drew and George Clooney are going to be hot no matter what! As a general rule, I'm not into much older men (I'm 29) so I'll wait on this one...
12Defiantly on Anderson Cooper!!
13"GlowingMoon, you always have the cutest posts about your adoring husband! Smiling"
Awwww, thank you. You are so kind to say that!
14i must say i LOVE it on Anderson Cooper!!!!!!!!!!!!!
15Not my thing. Maybe in a few years I will change my mind.
16I love it, especially Dr. Drew
17I love good looking older men with that salt and pepper! Mike Nolan (ex-SF 49er head coach) is by far one of my favs!!
18i'm 23 and i think that its a turn on but only in someone i would be attracted to anyway. i wouldn't only like a guy because of his greying hair, thats for sure.
19now, balding...thats a whole other issue.
Okay I have the biggest crush on Dr. Drew and I read an interview with him where he said that 20-somethings that want him have issues and I felt like I was being shamed! Hehe
I think it can look sexy on men and very nice on women too - my mom complains about her greys sometimes, but I tell her not to dye it because I think salt and pepper on her is beautiful, just a little silver here and there.
20depends on the guy.
21it can add sophistication to an already good looking, well dressed man.
it does depend on the man, Sean Connery, for one. He's a silver fox!
22depending on the guy - it's a turn on...but in some cases it's just not my thing. i guess with those guys that i think that it's a turn on - well they would be HOT regardless...if they had red hair blonde hair or whatever.
23My husband has that super-sexy silver just around his temples and above his ears. It's SOOOOOOOO hot! I always loved that- even before I met him! Match the silver with some smiley, crinkley eyes and you've got one SEXY man!
24I absolutely LOVE some gray, and on some men...all gray looks amazing. Like on my husband, I can tell with the salt and pepper he is getting that he is going to be so handsome and sexy with gray when it gets to be more. He hates it, but I love it. He thinks I have a grandfather complex actually! LOL. But Sean Connery, Richard Gere, George Clooney...LOVE IT!
25I think grey men are sexy! Well grey men and a good brian though not just grey men who read Playboy whenever he gets a chance!
26I think it depends on the man. If he has an elegant quality about him and clean cut, I can dig it.
27Definitely a turn on!! Especially on George Clooney, Richard Gere, and Robert DeNiro (hahaha).
28quitecontrary - YES, I love the smiley, crinkley eyes.
29Oh sick. Big turn off. Gladly giving all you ladies any gray haired men I see coming my way
30i absolutely love gray hair on men! i think it is super sexy and can't wait until my bf goes gray. i especially love the salt and pepper look.
31turn on! i think old men are sexy
32I guess it looks on them, but I'm not attracted to it. My dad just dyed his white hairs all a dark black, and I think it looks really weird. Lol.
