Even when I was younger, I thought older distinguished men were attractive.  For instance, it’s taken many years for me to think of Brad Pitt as "good-looking".  Granted, he’s always been attractive, but up until recently he’s always looked so boyish.  It’s just now that his face is starting to show age and character, that I see what people have been fussing about - he’s a nice looking man.

As for these other men and their gray, my don’t they look good!  These men all have style, class, intelligence, and confidence and that certainly adds to the attraction. 

Of course, I should also note that my husband has been gray since his early 30’s and he’s the sexiest man I know!

I totally agree with you KatyDid. I have always felt that a man doesn’t look interesting until he has at least a "touch" of grey in his hair.  Even as a very young woman I never went for  baby-faced men. There’s nothing like a little (or a lot) of grey hair to make a man look distinguished, sophisticated and sexy. Unfortunately, I don’t feel that way about women’s grey hair unless she’s in her 20’s and prematurely grey.

I just read a fantastic book called "Going Gray, Looking Great!" by Diana Lewis Jewell.  One of my favorite chapters was "Who’s Great at being Gray?" In the chapter it talks about men & hair color, really eye opening statistics of the percentage of men who cover their gray. It was fascinating as well as humorous. I found Diana’s website too (http://www.goinggraylookingreat.com).  We are all waiting for that brave man to join! Any takers from the above slideshow? Hmmmm….?

This article should be retitled as "Sexy Gray-Haired Democrat Men From Politics, Business and Hollywood (Photos)."  Using data from opensecretsdotorg to track donations, publications, and various news sources, here are the political affiliations of everyone on this list:


Anderson Cooper = Democrat
Harrison Ford = Democrat
Bill Clinton = Democrat
Tom Brokaw = Democrat
Ted Turner = Democrat
Richard Gere = Democrat
Steve Martin = Democrat
Morgan Freeman = Democrat
Taylor Hicks = Democrat
George Clooney = Democrat
Tony Blair = Democrat (would be in the US)

Anderson Cooper is quite nice looking.  Richard Gere looks great.  Tony Blair is less handsome but gets points for the British accent. 

Am I the only woman in the world who is not attracted to George Clooney?

And here I thought it was just me that was missing the George Clooney gene :)

Anderson Cooper just does it for me — that great combination of a sense of humor, intelligence, looks aren’t bad either :) and that little self-deprecating manner upon occasion…….got it all.
