thinksnow, babe, honey…you are adorable, one gray hair or not. If it bothers you too much, I’ll find you a nice “Buzz Lightyear” green hooded jumpsuit (whoa, I must be drunk, I tried to type “humpsuit” there). I found gray in my hair a LONG time ago. It’s why I have those weird freaking blonde streaks. (My grays tend to bunch up and look as though I have paint or maybe cum in my hair). Camoflage for the grays. Streak your hair, dye it or go slightly graying (which is a HUGE turn-on, Bill’s right he’s hot!) Get back to me when ya find a gray pubic hair. Until then, it ain’t no thang, honey. ---

I never get to notice the white (not grey, in my case) hairs on my head… as soon as one appears, **Astrogirl** rips it out! _Imagine this not-so-unreal scene: Barry White plays in the background, Astroboy and **Astrogirl** are all naked in the candle light, and getting down to it (wink, wink!)… there is a variety of kissing, fondling, and fingering going on… when suddenly, “OW!” Astroboy screams, “WTF???” “White hair,” says **Astrogirl**._ I DO have one on my chest that I have so far been able to fend **Astrogirl** away from, and I think it’s pretty cool! I look down, even now, and there it is! Alone, defiant, and sassy looking betwixt my nipples… you _GO_ white hair! I’ll protect you from that woman as long as I can! This I swear… ---

[sub]To infinity…[/sub][sup]and BEYOND![/sup] As for you, little Ms. sub[/sub] **Hunter** , that’ll be about anough of that! **Danalan** , you are, of course, correct about the BP. As far as that goes, I’ve been bad about seeing a doctor and just working on natural relaxation: T’ai Chi, Kava Kava, the Alexander Technique, drinking excessively…you know- the basics. I will, eventually, go see a doctor and stop checking the BP machine downstairs. ---

Oh, _ **please** _. I noticed my first gray hairs at 14. I’ve been unwittingly adding to that small collection ever since, however unfortunate, and now at 28 have some decided gray patches. I also have near-black hair, so such white lines positively _scream_, “GRAY HAIR! LOOK, LAURA HAS GRAY HAIR!” from my crown. I was hoping to make it to 30 without having to color my hair. I don’t think I’m going to make it. Spare me yer whinin’. 😉 ---

I’m jealous. I’ve always wanted to go gray. Unfortunatley, I’ve got another 30 years, by the family average, and in any case, my hair is too bleached out and streaky to tell. Damn. ☹ ---

Hey, it’s not all bad. I think grey hairs on otherwise young-looking men is sexy. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Astroboy14 \* > **I never get to notice the white (not grey, in my case) hairs on my head… as soon as one appears, Astrogirl rips it out!** Man…what awful memories that brings back. My story exactly. When the beautiful Mrs. Younger was still Younger Lover, and we were 20, she used to love sitting and stroking my hair…until she would mutter those inevitable, dreaded words – “hold still…”. :eek: Followed by the even more dreaded…“Oops. Wait, hold still again…” :eek: :eek: It’s been many years since she gave up, admitted defeat, and declared that the gray hairs had won their inexorable battle for my head. Not that there are many, but they’re there, and she grew tired of me wincing in pain and sobbing like a little girl. [sub]Did I say that out loud?[/sub] I guess I have it luckier than most…my twin brother is greying just a bit faster than I am. He’s got this patch of grey about the size of a dime on the back of his head, so at least I can always rib him about it and therefore feel a bit better. Serves him right for growing a half-inch taller than me. Paul ---

I don’t get grey hairs. My scalp is too stinking proud to have them. They jump off instead. I now have a part that’s 4 inches wide… :rolleyes: You’ll live through this… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/oh-my-god-i-cant-believe-this-is-happening-to-me/62450.md?page=1)
