Grey / Gray hair on a woman, is for sure unnattractive (overall).
But for men?

Same, it's less attractive then normal hair and that's 100%, grey hair adds 15-20 yrs on you.

But if you have status,money, girls can look past anything even your 2 inch dick.

Thanks 4 the reply

Do you happen to have any data, info as a backup for this?

grey hair adds 15-20 yrs on you.

Is that bad, to be seen as older as a man, i dunno.

Does just the factor of higher age, on a man, make a man less attractive?
Is a 40-50 year old man, less attractive then a 25-35 year old man (when all the rest being the same: status, looks, etc.)?

I so far haven't really found very conclusive data on this. (other then that it's probably somewhere between mid twenties untill early fifties)

I recall the following regarding age:

* OKcupid, around 28 years old as peak age: "Male desirability to women peaks in the late 20s and does not fall below the average for all men until 36"

https://theblog.okcupid.com/the-case-for-an-older-woman-99d8cabacdf5

* 50 as peak age: "men’s desirability peaks at age 50": https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/08/online-dating-out-of-your-league/567083/

* peak pretty stable from late 20's untill early 40's years old. https://iconicmen.wordpress.com/2013/10/24/smv-is-it-real/

This made me believe, that roughly maybe men have pretty stable "peak-ish time" (if he remains about equal looking (and doesn't become fat, bald, very wrinkled, ungroomed/lazy) from late 20's until early 50's. Hence it wouldn't then bother/mind much, if a mans hair color (grey-ing) make him look 10-15 yearls older as long as it makes him look anywhere between the age of: late 20's to 50.

Personally, I'm now mid 30's; and my life experience is that I get more compliments on my apperance then ever before (especially if they know my actual age). I did have a bit of a baby-face thing going on, which didn't help. I had a really hard time when younger (below 26), probably also a little bit because I looked like an teenager. Then things slowly got better, and at late twenties I could start to get somewhere (dates, ONS and LTR) with decent looking women. My looks stayed pretty stable since my mid-late twenties, not worse at least (better grooming now, then back then keeps me at around same or higher looks level). So that's why I have never seen and experienced aging, and looking older, as a bad/negative thing so far in my lifetime.

It's true men peak later, if ofcourse he is groomed and takes care of himself, for me myself as I age I get more attention from females etc, but on topic of grey hair it's as simple as this if guy at 40 has black hair, and overnight he would go grey nothing changed just hair it would drop his looks, how much well it depends, and there are no studies as I know on this, but its simple as this look at opposite sex 2 same females one black, one grey hair, her looks would drop and that's a fact, and females are no different, for them it's same as for you.

Seems logical. I also couldn't find any studies on this either.

Yes, grey haired or greying I (and most men) find not attractive in woman.
I do have a feeling, but don't know for sure. That greying hair, make women lose more points in attractiveness then it does (point dropping) for men. I guess the reason for that, is that youth-fertility in a woman is more important for men, since men his fertility is not so tightly linked to youth.

irrelevant compared to balding

[–]eduardkoopman[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

Thanks.
As in, that balding makes one loose several points in attractiveness, and greying only like half or 1 point in attractiveness?

[–]minoxidilcel0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

yep. hairline is comparable to jawline, a bad one will drastically damage your overall appearance. it can be the difference between a chad and a normie. grey hair will just make you look older, but you still look like the same person.

and even then, grey hair can be dyed relatively easily, whereas hair transplants cost tons of money and are very limited in effectiveness.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
