Is it Time?
A good friend places his hand gently on my shoulder. He pauses to take a deep breath and gives me a caring look. You know the delicate routine. "WHAT?! I'm not some Diva... tell me!!!" He whispers... "It's time".
I give him a puzzled look. "Time for what???" They wink and whisper, "Just for Men". My face flashes a hot red. "Yes, I am well aware I have a budding collection of gray hair on my chin."
Well, I am not one to obsess over anything. I am simply NOT a vain person. There was that one time I angrily threw down my fists at a comment troll who had the nerve to suggest I wore fake eyelashes and used mascara. That was the ONLY Diva temper tantrum I can remember.
Just next week, I'll be in Chicago for Market Days. In a three bedroom apartment, located in the center of it all, there will be six of us sleeping on top of each other. For whatever reason, I have already calculated that I will be the oldest. The second oldest in the group is a whooping FIVE years younger than me. Grrr...
So, I am pondering. Is it time? Hmmm...
PLEASE NOTE: That is NOT me pictured above. I don't have projection issues or a vengeful bone in my body. Ahem. ;)

You're 40. Embrace your Daddy-ism.
I look at it this way - I would KILL for the chance to go grey. It beats not having any hair.
It's the grey chest hair that hurt.
Hair color is for women, and/or desperate, aging, straight men trying to impress women, and/or old, gay trolls trying to hook-up/assimilate with twinks.
Men who take care of themselves physically/mentally/emotionally while aging gracefully/naturally are the sexiest.
Just For Men is for girls.
Grey is the new Black!
I can't wait when I start to go grey! RAWR!
or you could shave?
I think grey in facial hair is sexy!
No it's not time. You are fine and sexy just as you are!
It's like shoveling sand against the tide my friend. Just let the natural gray hair come in. You've seen my pics right? Totally white beard and silver hair and I love each and every non-brown hair!
I got used to the gray chest hair AND I got used to the few gray pubes too. It's all good and I'd still do you.
Congratulations, you were once again, my guy of the day for Wednesday.
Don't do it. If you like the Vincent Price #7 reddish purple effect then ok. Hellbill is correct, that is the sexy way to age.
Don't do it! You damn sexy just the way you are!
grey can be very sexy..look at anderson cooper..the sexiest gay man on the planet..
If YOU don't like the look, then YOU do something about it. Do it the right way and no one will even know. Stay away from JUST FOR MEN or other over the counter products. You've worked hard to look good, so don't skimp on your hair. Next time you get a haircut, have your hair and beard done at the same time. Use the color and shade God gave you. And make sure it is the SEMI-PERMANENT type. COLOR washes out and Permanent doesn't look natural.
Kid, you're way too young to look "over the hill".
Um, as someone who has had quite the grey goatee for years, let me be frank with you.
Just for men sucks.
It's nearly impossible to match your color and it always looks fakey fake.
Be glad you still have hair bitch, all mine is falling out. my word verify is "splatica" WTH?
Yes, it is a good time to admit you are not 19 anymore. grow up and stop being such a baby. you act like a teen most of the time
