The Silver Fox? What Women Think About Gray Hair
By Marcy Barack

The results are in. We asked Match.com users, "Ladies, is silver hair really sexy on guys?" and thousands said:

Gray hair is hot—72 percent

Let's admit up front that gray hair on men is distinguished. On women, it's just old. He's a silver fox. She's a crone. Oh, well, that's why there's Clairol.

The only thing better is when they're bald—12 percent
Let me just drop one name: Sean Connery. Or two: Patrick Stewart. Or three: Michael Jordan.

Silver's a sign he's passed his prime—16 percent
These gals are certainly entitled to this opinion, but in my book, the real turnoff is the thinning pelt. The long retreat of the hairline above the eyebrows leaves a skinny peninsula marooned over the nose. Then come the desperate attempts at disguise with the dreaded comb-over. At last, nothing remains but the semi-circular fringe above the collar.

Only an accident of genetics or a horrible brush with death turns a full head of hair gray while the owner is still young. In most people, it's a sign of advancing years. Aging confers many benefits on men:

1. They accumulate power and status in the form of money and position

When you go on a date with a silver fox, there's none of the dithering about that typifies a younger guy. He's got a plan. He'll pick you up. He may even open the door for you. If he's of the old school, there's no divvying up the check, either; it all goes on his platinum card. Once upon a time, a silver fox offered to send his airplane for me. Not every older guy has a fortune, but they are usually past the scrimping stage. Of course, you may have to make some allowances if he's still paying alimony and child support.

2. They become wise in the ways of the world and women

When you date an older guy, you reap the benefits of decades of female tutoring. All the women in his life who have preceded you—his mom, his girlfriends, especially his first wife—have hopefully taught him what women want. Those women educated him in the finer points of how to dress, how to act, how to listen, how to appreciate you.

3. They know how to have fun

The silver-haired fox who's going through a mid-life crisis typically drives a snazzy red sports car and throws around lots of money. He makes a great traveling companion. He's got decades of jokes to tell. And he's an enthusiastic lover. If he's already raised one family, chances are he may not want another. So if you don't particularly care for kids, he's a good choice.

4. They make good fathers

If you do want kids, and so does he, children from later marriages have certain advantages. A dad going through his second childhood makes a great playmate. And he may pay a lot more attention to children of his later years than kids who came along while he was fully immersed in building his career.

Have you guys noticed none of the women have chimed in? I'm starting to get worried this poll is a load of BS.

[68chrgrwife]

well, a woman perspective yeah all the gray haired men you guys mentioned are hot, too bad that I am 29 (or at least am on the east coast and will be on the west coast in 3 hrs) and I have gray hair...Luckily I use hair dye.  I love a distingushed man, but I also love my hubby's hair color and if he ever went gray..two words...Grecian Formula!!!  LOL

[71ChallengeHer]

Ok, grey hair is very sexy on men. Very distinguished.    Me , I look at the eyes and teeth. He should have a full set.  And they have to have a good heart, great sense of humor.  And owning a Mopar is a big plus.

[Charger_Fan]

Yep, I can imagine that would always be a plus.

[Old Moparz]

Well, my wife hasn't run away yet so maybe gray really is alright. I had a few gray ones when I met her, but now it's just a few that aren't[/i]  gray.

Maybe she's the reason though?
