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.
Melvin:
“Women are decedent. Here’s my review of the ridiculously expensive piece of silicone I hump.”
“Women are vain and self- deceiving. I think women are fruit instead of people and believe I can reduce half of humanity to traits I read about on a misogynist website for dudes who can’t get next to a woman and spend their days ranting about how evil women are for avoiding them like the plague even though they’re totally awesome according to the metric they made up.”
If you want to see someone who lacks self-awareness, Melvin, take a peek at the nearest mirror.
@freebased melvin:
WOMEN. ARE. NOT. COMMODITIES.
Fuck along, now.
@ vicky p
During all the Ghostbusters kerfuffle I YouTube’d some of Leslie Jones stage act. She does a brilliant bit about daft white folk being attacked by animals with the punchline “Well they’re not called kitchen lions”
It’s especially funny because I’ve got a friend just like that. A woman who has literally taken a selfie with an alligator. I assume the only reason she didn’t get eaten was the poor thing was completely bewildered at suddenly being hugged by ‘friend to all living creatures’ granola girl.
ETA: She once watched me legging it from an enraged bull yelling “You’re scaring him!”
@ Alan
When my baby sister was a cute toddler, she once tried to get an alligator to come over by slapping her leg and calling out, “Gator! GATOR!” (Luckily, the alligator did not respond.) She also once hugged a bear cub.
Luckily, she has survived into adulthood.
I am sorry for posting off-topic, but I think I remember that some regular commenters here crochet. I have decided to start learning. My coworker made a really lovely shawl for herself from a yarn kit at Wal-Mart, she gave me the label so I can find it, and the label has a scarf pattern on the inside. Does anybody have tips for a newbie? Should I look up YouTube videos?
@Victorious Parasol
You saw Puma Man prior to MST3K? Woah…that’s an accomplishment.
My only similar claim to fame is seeing Laserblast on TV once when I was a kid….
Apologies for the presumption, but does anybody happen to have handy a link or two with info about US foreign aid being restricted only to ngo’s or any kind of organisation that has no connection to the provision of contraception or abortion or reproductive healthcare? Thus forcing some organisations to stop helping women with their reproductive healthcare needs in order to stay afloat?
Especially if it mentions any developments under trump in particular.
Many thanks for any suggestions! (It’s for a sibling of mine – not the trump-sympathising one! quite the opposite, in fact, only they’re much more clued-up about environmental issues than social/feminist ones and have just expressed an interest in knowing more, particularly in relation to arguments about trump)
I’ve dyed my hair since forever because I have a white forelock (witch lock!) and I don’t wanna look like Rogue from the x-men.
My husband prefers my natural colour (bride of Frankenstein streak n’all) and dislikes the smell of dye, but I keep dying it anyway because it’s my head. My husband is a decent human being and accepts my right to do what I like with my own damn head, because honestly who cares what other people do with their hair?
@opposablethumbs I have this one bookmarked from a previous discussion:
https://www.guttmacher.org/gpr/2013/09/abortion-restrictions-us-foreign-aid-history-and-harms-helms-amendment
I hope it helps.
PS I found one or two things just now that look good for this, so I don’t want to be any bother! – just, if you happen to know of anything you think is particularly informative or worth reading. Thank you!
ETA thank you very much, Preux Fox, that’s great!
@opposable
The policy in question is called the ‘Mexico City Policy’ or the ‘Global Gag Rule

^Trump first reinstates the rule in Jan after Obama revoked it

^Trump and Tillerson expand the restrictions in May

I was young and was still developing my sense of taste in movies.
@ PreuxFox
Have you heard of Ravelry?
@PreuxFox
I crochet and it is quite easy to learn. The most difficult part (for me, at least) is figuring out the count of your beginning row, and making turns correctly.
I’d certainly use YouTube as a source! Its a very relaxing hobby, I like to “listen” to TV more than I like watching it, so crocheting fits in very nicely.
Aaw, I missed one. A good one, too. I wonder if he’ll be back? I mean, he didn’t really offer anything new, but this one was at least literate, apparently.
Our new troll is quite apparent in his sexism. In his head, women only do things in order to attract boners. Unmarried women? Their lives are centred around getting a dude. Any personal grooming is to try to net a better dude. Any behaviours are to try to net a better dude. Only by getting married are they then free to pursue things for themselves – but not really, because everything they do is then pride in family or pride in their selected-dude.
Women are never anything but an attachment to men to these guys. How hollow their lives must be, how vacant the soul bereft of meaning beyond the mechanics of procreation. Their red pill is a soporific.
Anyways! I never got the obsession with hair colour. Or eye colour. Or height. Or body type. Frankly I am pretty much ace, or at the very least extraordinarily demi. Personality compatibility is so much more important to me. (Also I’m probably just tasteless and think everyone is good looking ’cause I have no way to gauge appearances beyond a certain point!)
Dyed hair is cool! I frankly love that soft steel-pink is in vogue. I wants it, my precious.
No reason.
EDIT: Also I will celebrate your one-yearniversary too, Vicky P! Many many more!
White supremacist nightmare begins:
The Sun is turning black! Madras, OR nearing totality.
radical notion practiced in our abode:
Dress/fix hair/other grooming stuff, etc. the way you like it and the way you know the other partner likes it.
Ms. Pavlov’s House has long beautiful blonde hair which always looks good (even, and especially, when ponytailed back for our yoga class). Alas, the U.S. Army prefers my hair much shorter than Ms. Pavlov’s House likes me to have it but fortunately being only a mere Reservist I can let it grow long between the occasions when I have to do Army stuff. Of course I’m a beta cuck for doing stuff that I know my partner likes, right? And Ms. Pavlov’s House colors her hair but so what…besides she’ll look good with the silver colored hair that the older women in her family have.
What’s with all the gray hair stuff? Silver is an older natural hair color too and lots women think they look great with silver hair and if they think that who’s anyone else to argue?
@SpukiKitty
Please don’t compare our recent…visitor…to an udon noodle. I haven’t had it proper, but instant udon is cheap (not ramen-cheap, but what is?), fulfilling, and quite low-fat! Also delicious and I’d love to have it in my dorm.
Contrast: Based Blunderfuck here.
Speaking of which, @Based Blunderfuck:
The first time I dyed my hair, it was to look more like a male character (specifically, Cronus Ampora of Homestuck–I’m sure you’d get along swell with him) for Halloween back in 2014. I didn’t care about pleasing anyone’s boners then, and I certainly don’t now–and while it’s back to its natural deep brown from black, I intend to dye it blue after this upcoming Halloween, because I know a certain store sells permanent blue dye now. And because my hair is so fucking dense, it fucking LASTS.
And you know what? My girlfriend isn’t going to care one lick.
Thank you for that other one, Axe! Brilliant, my eco-minded sib should be well up to speed now 🙂

It was sunny out and now that it’s almost peak eclipse time where I am, the fucking clouds roll in. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dormousing it
Yup. It took me a few years to work it out, but my brown with reddish highlights most certainly did lose those highlights – really obvious when I was 14 – and my hair colour was more even and a darker duller brown by the time my first grey hairs appeared when I was 17. That was more or less expected, because my family (mother’s side) tended to go pure, glowing white in their 50s.
No such luck for me. I’m now 70 and still, when I can’t be bothered with colour, a dull boring grey. The most important thing I eventually worked out was that you don’t add a few, or more, or thousands of white or grey to your existing hair colour. All of your hair loses colour so that, by the time you’re ‘pepper & salt’ all over, it’s just a mix of white-ish strands and dull black or steel-grey strands. The original colour just drifts into the background and disappears entirely at some point you don’t even notice.
@BasedThingy
You’re the one who boasted you always get what you want “one way or another.” Your rapey, creepy words, not mine.
Also, it’s cute that you think you have insight into women’s behaviours, but it’s obvious you’re a clueless saddo with an unbelievably severe case of sour grapes.
Run along now, and have a crywank over how mean all us bitches who don’t appreciate your manly wisdom are.
Thanks, Scildfreja!
I got to see a bit of the eclipse here, but it’s cloudy. Ah, well.
Even if dyeing of the hair were solely done to be attractive to others, some could still only be trying to attract other women or non-binaries.
Mine’s half faded-green right now, will be full peacock blue-green again once expenses allow. Until then, just have to keep sighing at the return of the brunette-ness…
Me too (eyebrows back but not very noticeable as they are scant and pale now). My streaks would be blue, green AND purple – if I could be arsed, but I lost my hair nearly 5 years ago and still haven’t put any dye on it again.
I think a lot of MEN have aged really badly, and what the hell are they doing about it?!
Oh that’s right – women aren’t scrutinising men in extreme detail, looking for any possible flaw and posting it online like it is some kind of AMAZING TRUTH.
