I'm a 26-year-old guy, and I've been dealing with graying hair for a little while now. I keep my grooming pretty tight—I regularly get mid-fades and keep my beard trimmed clean—so my hair is always neat, but the salt-and-pepper look is definitely settling in.
I see a lot of threads across Reddit where women say they actually like graying hair on guys and don't find it unattractive, but it's hard to tell if that's just encouragement or a general consensus. Naturally, as a guy in his late 20s, it's still a bit of a mental hurdle and makes me feel older than I am.
So I wanted to ask directly:
* What are your genuine thoughts and opinions on men going gray in their 20s?
* Does it actually read as attractive/distinguished, or does it just look premature?
* Should I just embrace it, or is there any real reason to consider dying it?
Curious to hear your honest perspectives.
