At 38 I got married, no gray hairs. After 5 years in marriage, I got them popping in my beard everywhere. My brother, who is almost 50, has none. I blame my wife. She doesn't find it humorous. I think it's true though :D

I get that a lot with my son as well. It helps that he has a huge beard and I have no gray hair.

I get this shit all the time. I actually got ID'd when I went to pick up my 16 year old son from school early. It gets old

You take what you can get. I get told that it doesn't look like I've got a 25-year-old daughter and that I can pass for my mid thirties. I'm 48. Not going to complain.

My son and I have been called siblings several times, and once someone asked how long we'd been married!

40, must be nice, I started turning grey at 18, was completely gray at 25. I'm 60 now, for most of my life, people thought I was 20-30's younger than I was

39 and I've been greying since I was 16. I get confused for a HS student a lot, myself. Millennials as a whole, I think, are aging pretty well!

Nothing wrong with that :) also, I had gray hairs when I was 16. Mainly in my beard. Im 42 and my sides are starting to salt and pepper now. Still, a compliments a compliment ;D

I was once shopping with my mom and the cashier asked "how long have you been together?". I'm not sure who was more embarrassed, my mom or the cashier after I informed her.

Your mom: "How long ago did I give birth to you?"
[to cashier]: "That long."

That was pretty much what I had responded, "since I was born".

My uncle’s hair went gray in high school, and totally white by the time he turned 21.

The changing nature of work, too. A lot fewer jobs in post-industrial countries involve the sort of backbreaking labor and repetitive motion that characterized many jobs 50-75 years ago or more. (Sedentary jobs have their own health hazards.) Wasn't uncommon for someone's body to be completely used up by age 50-55.

That doesn’t explain the Millennial age bracket somehow aging better than Gen Z though…

Turning 32. I found a gray hair in a beard. It’s all downhill from here

My stupid beard grew greys from day 1. Well not actually day one, more like year 13? Point is, I've been an old man since puberty.

Who's beard was it?

I'd happily trade my very limited blond hair for full head of grey hair, it's all about perspective. But, it's not going downhill.

I'll be 46 on Saturday and I really think that this is the most attractive I've ever been... A little grey is sexy and the confidence to back it up helps. I don't know if I'm less awkward than I was in my 20s, but I don't worry about it anymore, which is a huge win.

I don't mind aging and I LOVE gray hair and eye crinkles. I wouldn't say I'm more attractive than I was in my 20s but I think I look pretty decent :)

I mean.. i didn't see 'hot' in the description, just 'young' - she was obviously into 'younger men' or was saying u look immature, didn't see any mention of 'attractive' in all that.
