Hairstyles on mature men

Should a mature man, as in over 40, wear long hair? We have discussed the thinning of hair with age, but this is more a male than female problem. Should the mature man cut his hair short when it begins to thin? Can thinning or balding older men still attract mature ladies, or is this a big turn off?Is it more what is inside, or are we on our own vanity trip and looking only towards outward appearances. I sincerely hope that both men and women see humor in life, and accept with laughter changing brought by the passage of time...If his hair remains thick, should a mature man wear long hair?

Hi Steve,> Should a mature man, as in over 40, wear long hair?Sure -- if that's what he wants, why not?> We have discussed the thinning of hair with age, but this> is more a male than female problem.

I've seen many men with varying degrees of hair loss who wear their hair long.> Can thinning or balding older men still attract mature> ladies, or is this a big turn off?I can't answer this, but I'm willing to bet the answer is "Yes."> Is it more what is inside, or are we on our own vanity> trip and looking only towards outward appearances.It depends on the person. I think maturity heightens awareness of what's on the inside, though I am not yet old enough (over 40) to be "mature" to know for certain. ;-)> I sincerely hope that both men and women see humor in> life, and accept with laughter changing brought by the> passage of time...Whether our response to such challenges is laughter or renewed vigor is something that is continually refined by increasing maturity.> If his hair remains thick, should a mature man wear> long hair?Again, if he so chooses.Hope this helps,Dave
