My hair went from light brown to snow white in a couple of years. Ok with me, but when I got the bald spot I said "No way, no Friar Tuck look for me!"
So I shave it all off and it feels great.

I thought women loved the silver Fox's.. Sean Connery...George Clooney etc

Is this not the case?

By the way I have come across some seriously attractive grey haired women... so what exactly is the issue?

Definitely not grey hair that's the issue.

I had a friend in college - utterly grey by age 22. He was handsome.

My Dad had a white spot his entire life and went very silver-white.

Nothing wrong with grey/white hair.

Oh plus, when my dad went grey, it was this brownish grey that was so utterly beautiful I can’t even describe it.

Grey is lovely. Facial hair, on the other hand, not so much. But to each her own... Also even that is not complete. Aidan Turner with a 2-day stubble is lovely.

I don't think the hair is the problem.

Wasn’t there a time when a bit of grey made us men look more attractive?

It isn't women. It is another marketing ploy to make men feel that they have to 'fix' themselves. Women have gotten hit with that marketing forever. If you are cool with yourself it won't matter what anyone thinks anyway. And if you are not cool with yourself there is no Grecian formula that can help you.

Bollox...men with grey hair can be dead sexy...stop digging for compliments!

When men go gray they are considered "distinguished" and women are just considered over the hill. The color of a man's hair does not determine how attracted I am or am not, but how he wears it. A Duck Dynasty beard of any color is a huge turn-off. How much a man bothers about his appearance is more of an indicator than hair color or even lack of hair.

There you go buddy, I agree with you. Good thinking, good attitude. What a go!...

I'd bet it's not so much the hair, but everything that's under the hair.

As a rule, I don’t like to generalize but.............

Gray or silver hair is sexy on men and women both.

That's pretty funny. Maybe.... you're chasing the wrong gals. I'm 68 years young, pretty gray... in fact, if you look up the definition of "graybeard" in a Webster''s dictonary... (anyone still have one of those?), you'll see my picture. So, subtle hint here:
Go to the local grocery store (Kroger) in my area.
Dress "business casual".
Grab a cart and put these few items in it:
Bottle of good Chardonnay.
Bottle of good Cabernet Savingon.
Several small blocks of gourmet cheese.
Imported gourmet crackers or French bread.
Now, wander around the meat/fish counters looking puzzled. Maybe occasionally stare at your shopping list. You will be amazed at how many ladies will stop to "help" you out.
NOTE: I'M MARRIED. I did this once to show my lovely wife this technique. Before she watched from a discreet distance the results of about 45 minutes of me "looking puzzled and in need of help", she didn't believe me.
There.... go try it. And glory in your distinguished "Silverness".

My girlfried was just telling me last night how much she and her colleague love men with salt and pepper hair.

Blimey I better get my hair a makeover greying at the moment

George Clooney may disagree that women are disgusted by silver hair

I don't know about other women, but I'm not disgusted by silver or gray hair. It is a natural part of getting older. I am more interested in the person, not how much hair they have or what color it is.

Not something I've experienced as I get older and grayer. I think it looks great and like the way it catches the light. No ladies have complained either.

Women? ... I'm a woman and I love grey/platinum hair on men and women

I've never heard a woman complain about gray hair on men. Do you observe that from their reactions or have you heard them say it? I know it doesn't bother me at all.

I've never met a woman who is/was disgusted by a man's hair color.

Some youngsters might be turned off by it. Some are not.

I cannot imagine it being even a consideration for the "No" column for most women -- especially mature women.

It could be an evolutionary thing, gray hair is a sign of aging and aging can be perceived as a lack of virility. Although this doesn't seem to be the case for the Silverback in a troop of gorillas, so who knows if it isn't just personal preference?
Personally, I've been shaving my head bald in the hotter months ever since I worked in the Caribbean and found it was 5 degrees cooler under my hard hat if my head was shaved. What I found interesting is that there are some women that are fascinated by a shaved head and I have many women ask me if they could touch my head and by touch I mean run their fingers in a caress over my head, often followed by a little shiver that is clearly sexual in nature. Maybe you need to break out the hair clippers and the razor, just watch out for sunburn on your pate as it is really painful.

I've known men with silver hair in their 20s. Not an issue.
