No. It looks ridiculous. You can always tell it’s dyed. Plus in some industries the grey hair helps your career because you look experienced and knowledgeable.
Not only that, but I think dyed hair comes off as sort of unmanly. Vanity is kind of sissified on a man.
Hair naturally changes color with age.... I just don't see a need dye my hair... I can't say what works for others, but for me, its not an option that I have interest in.
Dying my hair is not going to give the the 20yrs old energy I had at 20 yrs of age, and I'm still going to have the ache's and less flexibility than I had when I was younger.
I have friends who dye their hair, their mustache, and their beards... they like it. It's just not my thing.

I prefer to have my clothes fit nice, my shoes shined, and my hair groomed neatly. I'm thankful that I have the blessing of living long enough to have my hair change colors.
I agree, would never color my hair, I'm just glad to still have it. Currently at 69 I still have to get haircuts often, no bald spots, and I would describe it as "salt and pepper" with still more pepper. My maternal grandfather had a full head of hair (white) when he passed at 95.Whether it's human nature or just societal conditioning, gray hair on men actually looks good. Perhaps because we start earlier than women, so men with gray may still only be in their 30s-40s, while women with gray hair just look old.
Wow, what a sexist statement! Maybe people thought this way in 1950, but let me say to you, there are PLENTY OF MEN WHO LOOK OLD WITH GRAY HAIR! There are also many women who have gray hair that look very esteemed, Jamie Lee Curtis for one. Also, society has made people think like you, it truly is very sad.....
I've fully transitioned now and I get compliments all the time about my silver.
Maybe it's because I've got a face that's wrinkle-free, I don't know...I've never before had a color look this pretty on me.
I totally agree with you, I am sick of the double standard, though I see more old looking men these days than ever, they DO NOT LOOK DISTINGUIISHED IN THE LEAST, but Jamie Lee Curtis and Salma Hayek, wow, amazing beauties with gray hair, time the tables are turned ladies who happen to be on this thread!
Not only that, but I think dyed hair comes off as sort of unmanly. Vanity is kind of sissified on a man.
That way of thinking is changing, it is not seen that way....as much as years ago, my husband dyes his hair and it looks great, and hes a fireman! So no, he is not a sissy LOL
