1. Nah, I just shave it off.
As long as it's really short, it's hard to tell the gray from the blonde.

2. Not yet, but I have the "Just For Men" kit in my bathroom.
It's been there awhile. I only have a few strands here and there just yet. But I will color it when it becomes more.

3. Nope. Not there yet, but looking forward to it.
Although I suspect that the gray will be undetectable against my natural hair color for a long time. It may start to show in my 50's, If I make it that long.

But I am cool with it. If I do dye it, it will not be to get rid of the gray, but taking advantage of the lowered amount of pigment to try out some really cool colors not naturally present in hair.

6. Moustache and goatee I keep grey,
trying to color that burnt the living hell out of my face,

the rest I just shave off.

7. FUCK no. "Oh well, a touch of gray, kind of suits you anyway."
It goes with the territory. Who wants to look like Reagan?

I kinda like it, though. It's headed south, too -- even
my chest hair has turned gray. I can't WAIT for my pubic
hair to turn gray!!!

Got my first ass-kicking from Skittles for that line -- for making
her wonder why MiddleFingerMom was talking about "her" penis.

9. "No". The gray actually *does* make me look distinguished.
Gene-lucky, mine is silver rather than gray.

10. Nope

I have some grey hair and luckily it doesn't show much unless the light hits it a certain way. The grey in my beard shows more because my beard is red.

12. Not until a month ago...
i started graying on the sides about 5 years ago and it was no problem. However, I have been skipping haitcuts for the past yeat or so, and my hair is quite long. As a result I now have long gray hair on the sides of my head. Unfortunately, it is not "white gray", but that "sorta greenish/yellowish dingy gray" I finally had enough...and dyed the gray away.

Confession: I have been dying my chest hair for the past 5 years. Yes, I am vain.

14. I'm not a man, but NO, I don't cover my gray.
Life is too damned short.

15. Can I ask a delicate question?
It's normal for people to go gray, silver or white on ones head, but...um, er, what about down there?

Honestly! I don't know. I've never asked nor seen.

(Bracing self for answer).
