The future is now, old man.

Good lord. You have a full head of hair. Literally shut up.
Yeah I got lucky there. My dad has a full head and my grandfather on my mom's side did too.
I still stress over losing it though, much more than being gray (fiancee wants it).
I can't pull off the bald look like a lot of guys can, so I'm getting plugs if it comes to it. I still got time to lose it all 😂
I've always heard that baldness primarily comes from the mother.
This was supposed to be people clowning on me but all I got was a bunch of nice people telling me to live life to the fullest 😭😭
You turned my shitpost into a feelspost.
Amateur….
If only I could grow a beard. Or literally anything that a middle schooler couldn't also grow.
Looks good on you.
Where did you find that picture of my beard?
How do you not have crows feet - Christ your skin is smooth - I would take grey over looking like Ed Harris's ball sack (like I do)
My main tip is to never see the Sun.
Thank you though. That means a lot. I fucked myself for a while by popping bumps when I was younger so I stopped that shit and just started moisturizing occasionally.
Also I don't really wash my face in the shower, just rinse. Idk if that means anything. I don't follow a regimen.
You should've seen my mom when she was my age. Super beautiful. I look like a Hobbit in comparison.
I believe it's the sun and good genetics. I've got decent genetics (I think?) but I worked outside all of my 20s and 30s. I used sunscreen religiously but squinting (due to sun) and the like also plays a role. It's hard to remember to reapply in the middle of a 12 hr day, when there's work that needs to be done.
I'm exaggerating how wrinkled I am, but I definitely got crows feet and forehead wrinkles.
At least your greys are in a respectable place, mine have started coming in in my left eyebrow and so far, nowhere else. I'd love some dashing streaks of grey at my hairline or temples, no one mistakes that for lint or a cobweb.
I got em coming in everywhere, and don't worry I'm sure I'll look like Jim Carrey in A Series of Unfortunate Events soon. My ears and nose hairs are out of control after a day or two.
I'm sure you're dashing, my man. We're our own worst critics, and I'm no exception.
You're catname person from piefed, though. I'm sure that even if you had two caterpillars in deadly battle as eyebrows people would give you a pass. idk if it's your unique username or what, but I've seen your comments in the communities I frequent and have a high opinion about you.
You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old. Stay in touch with younger people, and don't be afraid to make friends with younger people (within reason - stick to 20 or older). Don't make fun of current slang, you had yours at that age too. Learn it even if you don't use it yourself. Don't fall into the trap of "the only good music was my generation's", always look for new music to like, even if it's individual songs instead of whole artists.
Keep taking care of your appearance. Even if you go full gray in the future, if you make a point to look at least good, you're ahead of a lot of people of all ages.
And remember - gray hair isn't an embarrassment, every single one is a testament that no one and nothing in life has been able to kill you yet. The more you have, the more it testifies that you are hard to kill. 😁
bruh gray hair is sexy the fuck you on about?
Unironically, I get this a lot.
Must be nice lmfao, no one ever compliments me. You gotta be a really good looking dude to get one.
Oh, I'm just a very average gay. Gay men aren't as shy about complimenting each other. 😅 But anyway, just so you know, a lot of people are into the salt & pepper look. I say wear it with pride.
Hey man, at least you have hair. I've been losing mine since I was 16.
I been too old for over half my life. Sorry for your loss. I'll mail a walker and some Ensure shakes your way. See you at bingo tonight
Sir this is Lemmy not twitch
You're never too young to dye.
In fact, fuck societal norms, go crazy, try some funky colours! Do a half-length bleach to platinum blonde, add a green or turquoise strip, do frosted tips but instead of keeping them blonde, dye em copper red... The world's your oyster.
Or just keep the gray patches, chicks dig it.
Greetings, fellow geezer! Let's have a brewski on the porch and yell at kids to get off our lawn.
Found my first grey hair when I was 16. Since then, multiple GFs have found the occasional grey hair. I'm 45, and weirdly my hair keeps getting darker. Used to be a platinum blonde, turned sandy blonde, and now it would be called brown.....
Standing around the smoke hole at work when I was 28; One of girls, "Hold still." YOINK Handed me a long white hair, I just stared at it in shock.
It's not over til you find gray pubes!
I am 23 and apparently have some gray hairs next to my ears. Dont know why
I get these long white hairs that my family would call "cat whiskers". I have two on my forehead and they can grow to be like 2 inches, it's pretty nuts. Terminal Hair, I think? My fiancee has them too.
Could it be that?
One thing I wish someone would have talked at me about more often in relation to getting older... You already have problems you're probably not paying enough attention to that you should look at now.
Does your neck always hurt in a weird way when you get up? Mole that you were looking at one day and it doesn't look quite right? Maybe you just started feeling a weird feeling in some part of your body and it never got worse so you just got used to ignoring it?
You're getting to the point where those tend to start escalating. Take inventory and get them checked out.
In case anyone needs to hear this — when blood and mucus start coming out your butt, you need to go to the gastroenterologist. Don't believe your primary care physician who says it's probably IBS and therefore untreatable and not worth worrying about. It was ulcerative colitis for me, and they have treatments that let you live your life without being tethered to the bathroom.
Embrace it. When I started getting greys, I thought I was going to have a more difficult time getting the attention I wanted. If anything, it's been the opposite. Good luck out there.
Time to find the young women with daddy issues.
I'm sorry man, I'd share if I could.
Maybe it’s because you talk like a brain rot 12 year old?
