If you had grey pubes would you prefer a baldy bollix?

Personally I'd still rather be grey though. I could act like a complete tit and people would just say oh! never mind, he's just a genius professor.

Act like a tit when you're bald and you're in the same category as a scumbag walking a rottweiler which is wearing an Umbro tracksuit.

That was my thinking too. I guess it also depends on what suits you better. I'd look like a walking peanut if I was bald and I'd look like a paedophile if I had grey hair so either way I'm screwed.

Baldy balls are too uncomfortable. I'd go grey down there.

If you are grey baldness is just a shave away.

Words of wisdom.

I started going grey when I was about 16, it never bothered me, have been bald a few times too, but I look like Grossberger from Stir Crazy with me noggin shaved, so I don't do it too often.

I've been going grey for the past few years - I'm 37 now and people say it give me a "distinguished" look. For "distinguished" read "old" IMO. It's at the "salt and pepper" stage now.

I don't think I would dye it though - too vain. But I would prefer to have grey hair over going bald any day.

I shaved my head every morning for 10+ years & loved it...

My head is tattooed tribal Maori style, but is now covered by grey hair as my employers won't allow me to shave my head...my tattoos are "inappropriate"

I would love to go bald as they would no longer be allowed to force their discriminatory standards on me & my art work would once again be proudly displayed.

I'm going a bit light on top so now I shave my hair to number 1 level.
I like it that way now and think it is way better than trying to hide it with a comb over.

I'd shave my head before combing over! I suppose hair treatment is an option too.

Look at Rooney, he spent 30 k to look like a dead cat was stuck to his head.
