The drapes do not match the carpet

I am back. This could be an embarrassing post. Then again, I do not care. I went to work out yesterday. As usual, I was struck by something. I had been struck by it on myself, but this other dude made things so clear for me.

How come the drapes do not match the carpet? My hair is a lot more gray than it was 10 years ago. I can live with that. Of course, I could, like an old, and I do mean old, customer of mine, let my hair grow long, die it black, put it in a small pony tail and grow a goatee and dye that too. I would look like a freak, but that would be my own business.

Anyway, the hair on my head and, slowly it seems, chest, is going gray. My pubic hair has not gone gray. I have not noticed any gray pubes. What is up with that?

The point was really brought into my head yesterday at Mayfair. I arrive and start getting ready to work out. I am in the change room when I noticed a dude with white hair. He seemed to be about my age, maybe a bit older, but his hair was more salt than pepper. He was naked and I could not help notice his pubic bush. It was brown. I think it was the contrast that jumped out at me (fuck, that had better have been contrast and not something else).

Now, I know what you are thinking. Mad man, what are you doing looking at another dude's pubes? If you are looking at his pubes, then you cannot help but look at his junk, either. Well, to the second part, I really did not notice his junk. It could have been too well hidden in his forest of dark pubes. To the first, the contrast could not be missed. It was like trying not to look at the sun. It could not be done.

I just wanted to know what was up with differential coloring of head and pubic hair in aging people. Please let me know. Ciao!
