I am a sucker for silver-grey hair on a man. As my handsome husband has aged, he has come to oblige me by going gloriously grey. It really bugs me to see those TV ads that try to convince men to dye their grey hair. Surely there are other women who prefer the silver standard.

I’ve always had a thing for blond men with blue eyes. If he’s got long blond lashes, it’s a bonus! Luckily, that fits Mr. Anachi to a Tee.

Yeah, red hair/green eyes with glasses for me as well.

I also like black hair and green eyes.

Red hair and green/bright blue eyes  
and  
Dark brown hair with hazel eyes… _shivers_

(sorry, couldnt decide!)

Blue used to not make it on my list of wonderful eyecolors until I met a guy a few weeks ago with the most amazing set of bright blue eyes…

If “bald” counts as a hair color, I’d like to cast a vote for bald guys with large, dark brown eyes. When Christopher Judge, of _Stargate: SG-1_, grew his hair back, I was saddened. Gorgeous either way, but sexier without hair, I think. Now I notice that they’ve added Mitch Pileggi to the cast of _Stargate: Atlantis_, so I am partially mollified.

Red hair/green eyes. Redheads make me weak in the knees and strong in certain other parts. Although **pinkfreud’s** outta luck here…I’m talking red-headed men. 😃

I have a weakness for stereotypically Irish looks, so either red/blue or black/blue. But I can certainly appreciate any combination, and at least two of the sexiest men I’ve ever known (in real life) had medium brown hair and brown eyes.

This thread makes me realize that I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a man with green eyes who wasn’t also African-American. Any green-eyed white guys out there? 🙂

I like grey hair, but I don’t particularly care for the greying/salt-and-pepper look. It’s not that it’s a _bad_ look (it worked for Pierce Brosnan . . . mmm), it’s more that I just prefer either all grey or no grey.

One of my co-workers is in his early 40s, with completely silver hair and blue eyes (and boyish good looks to accompany them). He also has a great personality, likes to party, is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, and is single and straight . . . too bad he’s my boss… 😉

Well, I knew a green-eyed white guy who claimed he had no African blood in him, and a green-eyed Latino guy from South America, if they count, **Misnomer**.

For me, the skin color has to be factored in as well. In which case I’ll say honey-colored hair, honey-colored skin, and green eyes.

Brown hair and black eyes are also nice.

Pierce can pull \*anything \* off…me.

I’ve got light brown, almost blond hair. That’s close to red, right?

Mine, I like men with short black or dark brown hair and either blue or dark brown eyes.

Nope, no whoosh. Apparently I’ve been missing out (or just haven’t been paying enough attention)… ☹

Well, I’ve yet to meet a fellow redhead with green eyes either, instead of blue (and one with brown), so I don’t know how people have developed this, in my obversation, extremely rare preference. I don’t think I’ve ever met more than 10 people with green eyes my entire life, to be honest. Blue eyes like my own that occasionally look green or people with hazel eyes that go green, sure, but honest to god always green eyes? Nope.

Per the OP, I like it when a guys’ eyes and hair are of similar light or darkness. Blue eyed blonds and brown eyes and dark hair. On women dark hair and blue eyes is pretty striking, too.

I am such a sucker for a guy who has longish dark hair that sort of falls over his dark eyes. I find it so hot and mysterious.

Black hair and dark brown or light brown eyes. Hazel’s nice, too. I’m not a huge fan of the black hair/light eyes combo…fairly common in my ethnic community so I’m not as enraptured by it.
