How to tell someone ...

[Keim]

Id like to congratulate the OP. First internet thread _EVER_ To get near unanimous agreement.

Please consider running for president. With this ability to draw ppl together you could go far.

A related anecdote: A pretty good friend started to go grey in his 50's and dyed his hair. It looked awful - not the brown of his youth, but more the orange of Ziggy Stardust era Bowie. I told him so. He never forgave me.

That happened to me when I started to go gray. Bought a drugstore dye kit. Close friend very diplomatically said that dying my hair might help me look younger but I should spend the money and have a professional do it until I learn how as it was too obvious. I got very good at it so people couldn’t tell

I think this guy might benefit from a good stylist and not just his barber

I think most men resent the idea of paying more for a haircut than their barber has been charging them. That's seen as a women's expense.

I had the reverse issue. Folks were always asking me who did my hair color - it looks so natural. That's because it is, I told them. It's only the last couple of years that my gray has begun to show. Now, if I could deal with the MPB without hair plugs?

Wow! I guess I'm right in style. DW is always after me to trim my brows. As the hair on my head wanes, the hair over my eyes seems to grow. Should I show her this thread and ask her what gives her a right to dis me because of my eyebrows? Naaaahhhhhhh!

Gotta say... According to Wiki,

In Tajikistan, a unibrow is viewed as an attractive quality in both men and women. For women, it is associated with virginity and purity and, in men, virility.

There you go...

I resent having to pay the same for my haircut as someone with a full head of hair when all they have to do for me is trim the sides. Takes the barber less than half the time.

Cheers!

Yes, I've joked with my barber about my "half price", too.
