    Grey hairs

    To dye or not to dye?

    Wife wants me to cover my increasing number of grey hairs

    I could never be that vain and personally think that the grey adds to my look.

    So which is best?

        I'd dye it matey.

        Wife is looking at you and thinking "blimey, he's getting old".

        In turn, she is also thinking "blimey, that means I am as well".

        I'd dye it if I were you, because it sounds like she's reaching a crisis point and you might get replaced with a younger model.

        Considering that guys have been doing the same for years, it's only fair :-)
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            I was going grey before we even met, and she's over 6 years younger than me and a long way off "getting old"

              Do you use a safe and boring "Just for Men" brown colour or go for a ladyees Wild Chestnut colour for something jazzy?

                I have to admit to trying the old Just for Men. I was quite pleased, for about a week then lots of grey started coming back. It also stung a bit, and then second time I did the allergy test and got a big red mark on my arm so threw it away.

                Depends how old you are. I can live with my slightly receeding hairline as I'm old enough, but going grey in my mid-thirties doesn't seem entirely fair. I don't want to go down that "Damon Hill" road.
                Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  Unless your wife's thoughts live in complete stasis, then sure, you might have a point.

                  But people change and so do their thoughts and opinions.
