How do folks react to your hat wearing?

[OC Fry]

I thought I just got more 'sirs' because I was getting old.

Yeah me too, that's the gray beard part! The hat definitely adds.

Comment from a good friend after a pleasant interaction with a young female employee at a local book store: "I used to think they were flirting with me until I realized they were just being nice to the old guy."

Truer words...

But hey, I'll settle for a pity flirt!

Give it time; you'll get there.

Though I'm not 100% certain of your age, mine started greying in my mid 30s.

I'm 42 ... and I have probably 4 greys in my beard ... looking forward to many more

Careful what you wish for Anthony. When my beard went grey, I lost control of it completely. Those grey hairs just don't lay down like my dark whiskers did. I went from having a well-groomed beard to having a wire-haired terrier on my chin. It even got curly. Still got it, but it requires a lot more maintenance.

Amen.

Rumor has it that around these parts (probably similar in your area) a good mall Santa with a real white beard pulls in around 40 grand during the holidays...

Quoted for truth. Also, once your beard gets gray enough you'll start getting unsolicited advice along the lines of, "You know, if you dyed your beard you'd look 10 years younger." A close friend of ours dislikes gray hair so much that she sincerely believes everyone with gray hair should dye it.

40 Grand??? Jeez, I need to start gaining weight.

My whiskers went white long before grey even started on the hair of my head. When my head is grey, I'll stop dying the whiskers. I guess then I'll embrace the curmudgeon and my old man moniker.

I wouldn't do it for twice that amount! Whenever I've been asked to play Santa in a private home for someone's kids I usually quote $600 in advance for 30 min & that takes care of that!

It doesn't fool anybody. I'd cut it off before I'd resort to that. Just sayin...

If I still let my hair grow, what little of it there is would be mostly gray. Someone once gave me a bottle of Grecian formula for my birthday to use on my goat, I guess they thought it was funny. I laughed but a return to Walgreens the next day paid for a 12 pack.

I'm with you there. I started getting grey hair pretty early. It is what it is.

Women can get away with dying their hair, up to a certain age. Men who dye their hair just look like fools.

I'll just match the curtain and the carpet for now, and leave the contrast for grosgrain ribbon and beaver felt.

Attaboy, Doug. You going for a Betty, too?!

Same. White hair and beard appeared before my 40's.
