Obama and His Graying Hair
It has always been the understanding that the presidency will age a man. (It would probably age a woman too).
But already people are noticing that Obama’s hair is turning gray. Here is the link: Link
Now I have heard women say that men look more attractive with gray hair. It is funny because you never hear that said of a woman.
Do men look more attractive with slightly gray hair?

Yes, they do. I think it makes a man a bit more sexy…
*hugs*
Good Morning, Dan!
No. I want a guy my age, thanks.
Obama would still be hideous no matter what color hair he had.
Hmm, I was just reading this in the morning paper. Sad. The president’s hair makes the news.
nope
I have nothing against graying hair. But it does nothing for me. I have never had a thing for older guys.
It makes a man look distinguished to have a nice sprinkling of gray hair. Poor Obama. He hasn’t even been in 100 days yet and his hair is graying already!
I would never date a man with grey hair (not right now, at my age…) but I think grey hair shows sophistication and experience with life. Certain guys can pull it off and still look good…
@Trunthepaige
You cut me deep, Paige…You cut me deep. Ha, ha.
I don’t know, I’m not a woman.Maybe Obama has been using something to keep it from getting gray and now doesn’t have time, or maybe he is using something to purposely make it look gray to make it look like he is working really hard. Anymore senerios? I myself don’t care what color someones hair is, what matters is their heart!
@Xcholo4u - Man, and I had my hopes all up to! GAH!!! old age bites doesn’t it!
My hair is naturally gray (hurray for hair dye!), so I feel that it would be hypocrite for me to mind guys with gray hair.
A guy can get all the grey hair he wants. I’m still not attracted.
Yes, it does.
@la_faerie_joyeuse - Absolutely.
No. Gross.
I’d have to agree with @trunthepaige - I’ve never had a thing for older guys as well.
no
*shrugs*
not on me!
Gray pubic hair
/rawr
That’s racist.
HAH. I win.
wasn’t his hair always gray???? I’m pretty sure even before he ran for nomination…. unless his hair dye faded -_-
RYQ: I derno, I’ll feel like I’m dating my father x_X, I’m trying to picture Brad Pitt (curious ben) or someone hot w/gray hair but it’s not really doing it for me LOL!
i don’t see much of a difference betweeen the pictures…
SOMETIMES. I have found some guys to be attractive with gray in their hair and some Im like….dang, he needs to dye his hair.
As for Obama….>> That was quick. barely a month in office and that happened? Poor guy
Depends on how they carry themselves. Gray Obama? Yes. Gray wino who hangs out in front of Denny’s? No.
His skin also looks gray in that second photo. If they’re going off that picture, it’s probably just the bad lighting. As for your question, if he’s not already an attractive looking man, a little gray at his temples isn’t going to fix that.
A guy with salt-and-pepper hair looks more regal and adds “wisdom” to their apperance
However, they’re too old for me.
My husband is getting gray hair on the sides, which you can usually only see when it starts growing out. I think he’s going to look sexy with gray hair. But I am biased and think my husband is totally sexy anyway. Obama? Not so much, gray or not.
If the man gets crap for even having a beer at a basketball game, no wonder he’s stressing out.
@UnworthyofHisgrace – That’s what I was thinking too. Perhaps he has been “washing that gray right out of his hair” until recently.
I actually found my first gray hair when I was 33. Thank goodness I found it and beat it into submission! LOL. I also know some guys who started going gray in their 20s.
He probably use to dye it but now that he is the president he doesn’t want to seem superficial. You know how people are, ‘There’s thousands of American’s losing their jobs and Obama is off getting his hair dyed.’
I’m tired of hearing about Obama’s personal life, looks, etc. I don’t care!! What does that have to do with who he is as president? Seriously? I could care less if he had a carrot for a nose. The press needs to stop treating him like a celebrity and start treating him with more seriousness and respect.
hek yeah im ryte on toppa that akshun
obama iz espeshuly hot hot HOT
not necessarily, but it can make them look very distuinguished.
yes, apart from my boyfriend who does not have any grey hair and is the hottest guy on earth.
<3
Uhm, I usually just notice the eyes. And I don’t really care that much about hair color.
A man with a job as stressful as the US presidency would worry me if he *didn’t* go gray as a result.
Obama is going to look damn good no matter what.
It really depends on the man. It also depends on the woman.
Though,I do generally think women look damn fine gray… I mainly think this because women in my family go gray in their early twenties.
i heard that stress can give you gray hair, no matter how old they are but obama is in his late 40′s, my mom is just turning 40 and she already has a lot of white, so i dont know.
It depends . . .
with what he has to deal with right now at the stakes being as high as they are, i’m surprised his hair isn’t totally white!
No.
yes. I think it does!
Depends on the guy.
Yeah I would like to point out that the angle of that shot and the lighting of that shot i what is making his hair look grey. Also maybe he dyes his hair and it is growing out. Who really cares? It is just his hair, people.
I think greying men can be attractive, as can greying women. However, they aren’t hot – that age difference is kind of gross.
little old ladies look lovely and delicate with their silver white hair. I was devastated when I went to visit my grandma one year and discovered she’d dyed her lovely white hair.
Men look better without hair, don’t they?
Hell to the yeah!! I LOVE a silver fox.. Even Obama.
I don’t know that I have much of an opinin on the matter. Most guys I would date will be around 30…so some grays are kind of expected.
On another note, I got my first gray hair the other day…that I have noticed anyway. And, I was telling a guy friend about it and I said it doesn’t bother me because I will just dye my hair. I thought he’d have a cow…he told me that I was the type of woman who would look gorgeous with gray hair. I didn’t really think there was that “type” of woman.
Hell yeah they look more attractive with a little gray. Makes them look all worldly and sophisticated. Just think. Who is the sexiest superhero. Superman, Batman? No it’s Reed Richards of the fantastic four. What a hunk with that patch of gray. I mean I’m not gay but Reed Richards could get it.
some men it does look sexy. some can pull it off but some it’s better died!!
I think that people need to leave the president alone, they have already started criticizing him on his hair…why do people even care, he is just getting older.
He probably dyed his hair before and during the election. Is that hard to believe? lol
Lol. Some man do and some don’t. However, it pretty much depends on that person looking for the gray haired man. Now for Obama… did he dye his hair or what? >_>
Well or corse, gray haired men look very attractive to gray haired old women. In my husbands case-bald is beautiful.
It depends on the person.
Depends on the man. Obama? No, but then I don’t find him attractive at all, so gray hair on him wouldn’t matter.
grey hair = maturity, and women like it when guys are a bit more mature ^^ so it makes sense
poor Obama… it really must be so stressful being the president… and perhaps its because he is the first non-White president, the grey hair shows more on him.
I would say so, for some men, and also some women can be very beautiful with grey hair too.
Maybe he already had gray hair and dyed it, and now has been to busy to keep up with it.
Who knows? lol
My husband has gray hair too. And he’s only 26. Its kinda sexy.
But I also have gray hair. And I’m only 26. And it pisses me off. I’ll be dying my hair dammit, 26 is too young for gray!!
I think a little grey looks good. I’m not attracted to grey hair or anything, but I think it makes a man look more distinguished! And that he earned them. It’s always weird to see men in their 60s with ink black hair. Ewwww.
And women can look good with grey hair too. Same reason as men.
it is so important.
It depends on the man really…
“Do men look more attractive with slightly gray hair?” he asks, with a hopefull lilt in his voice.
Or he could be getting gray hair because he’s old. I don’t notice anything from those pictures. Gray, yuck!
Definitely. I think it looks distinguished…on the right guy, anyway.
No. But I’m 17 and biased.
mmmm…. depends on the man.
It suits some men, but I typically don’t like older men. I would have no problem if Obama wanted to dye his hair.
Depends on the guy. And obama probably dyes his hair, and hasn’t touched it up. Or maybe he thinks it’ll fit more with the whole, being president thing.
he’s probably been having gray hair for awhile now.. but he had to look his absolutely best 24/7 during the election so he probably dyed it and made sure that no gray hair was visible.. and now that he’s the president.. and much busier.. dyeing his hair just isn’t a priority anymore~
Hmm…that could very well be because of the lighting. I actually look blonde in some pictures because of the lighting, and I have auburn hair.
@oOBuBBLes711Oo - Well, considering the mess he inherited, it’s not altogether shocking.
Depends on the man, I think, but it does look kinda cool with dark hair.
Nope.
and sad that’s all they have to talk about.He’s getting more wrinkles too.
I think he should keep it natural
lmfao. I prefer not to respond.
No, it just them look old. But, it does make them look wiser.
Yes.
Men of age are attractive, period.
I think his shoe polish has just worn off. Why would he turn gray over night? Just to make people talk about him. Why else would a narcisist allow himself to suddenly look older and “wiser”?
It can be ok but it’s not that great.
not really
at 18, I would not say so because I’m attracted to guys who are at the right age to be a father. I don’t want them to be like 80 when the kid is in the 6th grade, but I understand that a guy needs to be established before he can be a dad, yeah…
it’s what they say about george clooney
That’s true of a lot of statements though. Men look good with a little weight on them and some muscle (not so much for women…), etc. And I wouldn’t say that men look more attractive… just, certainly not less attractive as is the case w/ women.
salt and pepper look = sex.
no
maybe I’ll think so when I’m in my 50′s
I also susapect Obama’s dying his hair grey
It depends on the man. Mark Harmon, and my husband, are HOT.
come one!!! just one month and his is turning gray hahahahahahahahahahahah just kiding…………….. Obama!! is just the biginning hahahaha……………..but to be atractive, NAAAAAAA he need much more than gray hair…
dunno… some look okay with white hair, while others don’t…
depends on the guy…but mostly yes
the man is not attractive to begin with. graying hair doesn’t really make a difference.
Depends.
