The Hot Older Men Debate
01st
2009
Let me preface this post by saying I am happily married to a hot young man who has a full head of brown hair (which I love). He has often voiced his opinions about women (ahem, MEGAN FOX.) so I’m sure he won’t mind this. :)
I know, it kind of sounds gold-diggerish, but I know you girls have checked out an older guy and given your seal of approval as well. Don’t deny it!
A recent conversation with a 20-something friend of mine spurred a little debate. What’s more attractive on an older man… salt and pepper or a bald/shaved head?
Team A – The Greys
Team B – The Bald/Shaved Heads
I conducted a little survey on Twitter, asking what the ladies prefer. Here’s what they said:
The results of my little Twitter survey were very interesting… pretty much all who answered were in favor of the gents with salt and pepper hair.
(Personally, Jason Statham & Bruce Willis get my vote. Just saying.)
What do you prefer? Cast your vote in the comments. :)
I prefer the camp of no hair. I have no idea why. I just like a really smooth skull ;)

I prefer bald! Like statham hot! Plus my dad looks like pierce brosnan so that just creeps me out lol!

Honestly, I’ve always preferred a head of nice thick, dark hair… and yet here I am dating a baldy.
It surprised me what little difference it made when it came down to the guy himself!

Am I allowed to say, “Both”? I love Richard, but man, nothing like a little Vin. *sighing*

oh swoon, swoon, SWOON!
i dig older guys, i just do. There’s no way around it.
and you just rekindled the flickering flame of love that I have for Vin Diesel with this post. Y-U-M.
yum to all of these.
well, except for Jason Statham, don’t hate me :P

I’m definitely a salt and pepper fan… perhaps an aversion to the baldness because my dad is bald? Though after evaluating all of Cale’s grandparents, I don’t think I’ll end up with much graying, and he’ll probably just get a little bit of receding around his temples. Which is fine by me.. Am I the only person who spends an obsessive amount of time trying to figure out how we’re going to look as an old married couple? meh fine.

and by “I’ll end up with much graying” I mean on Cale… I’m going to end up being totally gray.. eep.. :-/

Yeah, sorry I’m one of the few who like the bald/shaved look. I think it’s because I’ve been a military wife for 8.5 years and I’m constantly around the men with the shaved/buzzed heads.
Mmmmmmmm. Thanks for the Vin Diesel picture.

the silver fox is the way to go. Although, Bruce Willis isn’t hard on the eyes…

I never look at men that I see in person but celebrities, hell yes! I agree with Jason Statham & Bruce Willis. I hate the kinds of movies Jason Statham is in but I watch them anyway just to drool over him! He’s just too hot

so… I’m on Team B, forgot to say that part :)
on October 2nd, 2009 at 7:13 am
Definitely Team Bald! So macho-man! I think s & p is hot on George Clooney, though. Uh, what isn’t hot on George though?

You guys are so hilarious!! Thanks for all the great feedback. :)
@Claudia: The “smooth skull” thing make me lol.
@katy: I know what you mean! My father in law looks sort of like Pierce Brosnan… can’t do it. haha
@jimaie: There HAS to be a little love for Jason in your heart somewhere! HAS TO! I cry!
@juani: How nice it must be to see THAT every day!
@Casey: I’m the same way… I never said I was a fan of his acting skills, lol.

on October 2nd, 2009 at 2:15 pm
I LOVE the salt and pepper! I am not going to mind my hubby aging at all! Me on the other hand…must stay dark!
on October 2nd, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Ok, you know what’s funny. I know I SAID salt and pepper, but after I thought about it, bald is definitely my preference. Especially after seeing the bald hotties compared to the salt and pepper ones. Thank goodness my husband will be shaving his head soon. :-) Mamma likey.
on October 3rd, 2009 at 2:05 pm
shaved…hello, robert downey jr. yum :)

Richard Gere = deliciosity. I will love him until he is basically a corpse. THE END.
on October 6th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
hmm… such a hard choice!!! I do really, really like Jason Statham though!!!! I’m going for bald this time. :)
on October 9th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
