In the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit, a wise elder who calls himself lonewolf-chicago warns his younger colleagues to watch out for the insidious danger of … women who dye their hair. You may think these women look hot, he tells the assembled MGTOWs, but they don’t look hot, because their hair is a LIE! Also, he notes, his ex-wife has a fat butt.
Let’s hear him out:
I’m an older guy. I’m 45 and there are no women anywhere close to my age that doesn’t dye their hair. Some have pretty faces a few are even fit but they all died their hair.
If they did not dye their hair all of them would look like old ladies. All of them. So just this one act of dying their hair conceals at least 10 years of age.
Damn these women for trying to look their best!
So if a woman is 35 or 40 and she dyes her hair you have to imagine what she looks like without her hair dyed.
Er, why exactly do you have to do this?
I am 45 I have very little gray hair I do not wear makeup… obviously, but women my age smile and become coy when they get carded at a restaurant or at a bar even though it’s only because the Law States the bouncers must card everyone who walks in the place.
Their narcissism makes them believe that it’s because they still look young. But it’s only because they dye their hair.
Wait, I thought it was because the bouncers have to card everyone. Keep it together, man, you’re losing it!
One of my Ex-Wives friend has been almost totally gray since she was 30 years old she’s 44 years old now she is a hairdresser. She is attractive but she dyes her hair which means she’s not attractive … she hit the wall at 30.
It’s like a MGTOW Koan: What is the sound of one women who is attractive but also not attractive?
If you didn’t look at my ex-wife’s ass and the horrible fat lard cottage cheese on the back of her legs you would say that she’s attractive. She has humongous tits but her nipples never come out… so they are basically a big slab of fat. She dyes her hair. She would not look pretty if she did not dye her hair she would look like an old lady.
Somehow I don’t think this woman really regrets kicking this guy to the curb.
Women are narcissists and they live in a fantasy world. They think what they look like with colored hair and makeup and those undergarments that suck in all the fat is how they actually look. They live in a fantasy land.
Have you guys gotten the picture yet? Do you get it? Women over 40 for sure do not look like they actually look. It’s fucking makeup. It’s fake.
WOMEN OVER 40 DO NOT LOOK LIKE THEY ACTUALLY LOOK.
You heard it here first.
More a US thing to dye greying hair, maybe?
I think being distracted by the details may be my anti-MGTOW defence mechanism, but I’m mostly just confused as to why he thinks most women 35-40 have noticeably greying hair that they dye. It’s not that typical, I’d assume B12 deficiency or something.
Oh right, this is about the Wall, isn’t it, and the need to make out that women over [arbitrary relatively young age] are OLD and therefore totally unfuckable, which they should totes care about, because MGTOWs say so. >_<
My mum is in her mid 60s and still has mostly her original natural colour of jet black hair mingled now with some silver, no greys at 40.
If you like to fuck peaches, that’s your business. As long as you’re doing it in your own home and not in the produce section of the grocery store. The rest of us however, do not really need to hear about how your boner feels about various kinds of produce. Keep your boner notes in your pants, dude.
I am in my 40s & just died my hair purple. Like Dreadtoes, I was also expressing my inner poison-dart frog. I like it, I get tons of compliments from other women on it, and if it keeps these douchcanoes away it’s a fantastic bonus.
I just came across a most-useful typo for use when confronting #MAGA-ts…
“Your hat has consumed you.”
I was looking for tne punchline when reading Melvin’s comment, assuming it’s sarcasm (like with some others further up the thread). Got to the end and realised that nope, he was serious.
Turns out he was the punchline all along!
My mom had no gray hair at all until she was in her 50’s. Despite never having dyed her hair, people used to ask us if we were sisters when I was a teen and she was forty, because she has always looked younger than she is. No cosmetic trickery; she wears a bit of makeup, but nothing extreme.
When I was seventeen, I had a friend my age with silky jet black hair, except for scattered, lone strands of white (and holy moly she looked GORGEOUS in it). People thought she was older than she was–but that meant they thought she was the ripe old age of twenty-one or twenty-two.
I have a friend now in her mid-twenties with some of the thickest-growing manes of auburn hair I’ve ever seen, and it’s noticeably peppered with grays. Everyone still thinks she looks like she’s in her mid-twenties, because, y’know, she has a face too.
And not too long ago there was a trend where young women would dye their hair silver or white, and I’m pretty sure that people could tell the difference between a nineteen year-old who dyed her hair silver vs. a sixty year-old whose hair is naturally that color.
People look like people. Some pass for younger or older than they actually are. Most look like they’re roughly in the zone of what you’d expect. Hair color is often pretty trivial in that whole equation, and dyed hair is frequently easy to spot, even when gorgeously well-done.
And of course, nobody is doing this to impress, please, or decieve Mr. lonewolf-chicago, so he can kindly go take a hike.
What the hell does a woman’s marital status have to do with hair dye? Women do not dye their hair for your approval. You opinion is irrelevant.
@based melvin udal
What about your true sexual marketplace value? I would guess that you are a rotten apple spoiling the barrel of men. The sexual marketplace greengrocer should take you out of the barrel and reduce you to half price, metaphorically speaking.
What is a true appearance? Think about it.
I think Based Whatever-the-hell is Big D(-bag) who appeared here a few weeks ago. He has the same Gravatar. I contemn him too much to address him directly, so I shall ask no one in particular, Why is it so important to him that “fe[eeeeee]males” (who according to the Ferengi do not deserve the honour of clothing) be shown to be ugly, except that he is a misogynist? How is one to “properly/effectively approach relations with such fe[eeeeee]males” in his mind, except in a manner abhorrent to all decent people?
I started dyeing my hair because I didn’t like my natural hair color (dishwater blonde). I started going gray at 27. Once my hair was mostly gray, I stopped dyeing it. I hadn’t dyed my hair in around 15 years, but one day I picked up some henna for the hell of it.
I don’t think I looked any younger after dyeing my hair. Instead of looking like a woman in her early 50’s with gray hair, I looked like a woman in her early 50’s with reddish hair.
I sure as hell didn’t dye my hair in an attempt to attract a man, let alone these asshats. I did it because I felt like it. If any of these asshats were to hit on me, I’d tell them to piss off, regardless of my hair color.
@misophistry
Half price? Too generous.
@based melvin whatever
You know that they are not actually mountain lions right? They don’t actually want to eat younger men. Its just another one of those metaphors.

I dye my hair and I do so specifically to cover grey. I have a lot of grey right around my face and it is ageing. So why do I do it? Because rightly or wrongly I perceive that I will be seen as an old woman and therefore professionally less valuable. Gravitas doesn’t work the same way for women.
I don’t wear a lot of makeup but I do pluck the old lady hairs from under my chin.
There you go.
I don’t give a fuck if this guy finds it attractive or not.
I’m fat and close to 50. The only thing that I’ve noticed which really affects my attractiveness is the state of my mental health. When I’m seriously depressed, men find me less attractive. When I’m in a good mental state I have no trouble attracting men.
Not that it matters too much now, as I’m now in a relationship! Yay! With a lovely, smart guy who finds me attractive and I find him hot, too.
I have three ex-wives (we get along famously ?). Apostrophes are important. Is it singular “one of my ex-wife’s friends”? (I would hazard he only has one ex-wife, but I could be wrong hence…) Or is it one of his numerous “ex-wive’s friends? Or though doubtful he is as ahhh… enlightened in these sort of things as I, are his numerous ex-wives friends, such as mine, who have mutual friends that could be “one of his ex-wives’ friends”. These things are important.
As a sixty year young sensitive yet virile twenty-first century kind of guy, I think grey hair is hot.
@rugbyyogi excellent! The Love is the important thing, but as a bonus feature everyone of us that finds love is a slap in the face for the manosphere it would seem.
In the absence of an open thread I hope folks don’t mind if I stick this here:

It’s from our Crown Prosecution Service. It’s their new approach to tackling on-line hate crimes. Basically treating stuff as if it had been said face to face. Also some stuff about changes in treating different groups of people that peeps might find interesting.
Oh excellent I’ll keep that in mind, especially since Charlottsville I am in one argument after another with Nazis on the interwebs. So far the worst insult has been “liberal arts graduate” which is both true and not really that insulting.
*Insert Romulan ambassador “IT’S A FAKE!” here*
I lost my hair due to chemo 3 years ago and was convinced it would grow back white. I was rather looking forward to it.
But 3 years on it’s back as dark as ever, with a bit of grey, only curly at the ends. Everywhere except eyebrows: they still haven’t returned.
Too much faff to dye it, and I hate the smell, but I’d like bright white hair with maybe a blue or green streak for special occasions.
@dr. ej
It speaks to the motivation.
Yes, that is why they try to make themselves appear more youthful, healthy, and fertile than they are. Denying this is silly.
@misophistry
As a freed man my value is determined by what I can get. And, one way or another, I get what I want.
Clever. As your name suggests, it’s nonsense word games. But clever. In a manipulative, coy, feminine sort of way.
I have started to like unnatural hair colors on people because it seems to be associated with social justice minded people.
Thinking of going purple myself.
Who freed you based melvin – was it abe lincoln?
“It speaks to the motivation.”
*snort* Motivations for dyeing one’s hair are many and varied, as has been demonstrated by the comments on this post.
@Victorious Parasol
Poison dart froging seems one of the more popular reasons here,
pretty much the opposite of what the red text rant in the op suggests.
A chain of music shops used to truncate the artists and titles at 10 characters. This resulted in one receipt telling me I’d just bought a “Nine Inch Pretty Hat”.
@Biased Melvin:
Oh, are MGTOWs adding “conduct” challenges now, for when they’re unsatisfied with the usual experience? (MGTOWs are always unsatisfied.)
