Guys - Do you dye that grey right out of your hair?

I did once. The lady first cut it short. I had been naturally brown.

She put chemicals on it and it percolated a long time. Didn't take.

She put more chemicals on it. And I sat there staring at the ceiling again for some time.

It ended up a reddish brown. Something does happen in the perception, I definitely looked younger.
 
No, I earned the gray hair.

When I was working offshore at Mobile Bay back in the latter 90's, one of the men who was in his early 40's and had Salt/Pepper hair.
Well one day after days off when he came back Offshore his hair was Jet Shiny Black. He was laughed at and made fun of for awhile - but in fairness he deserved it as it was ridiculous looking.

Manners would have it, in our local club men are asked to remove their hats as a form of respect. In the olden days men removed their hats when entering an elevator. Maybe I'm just old fashioned.

that is etiquette, not manners.

manners stay constant - treating other people kindly etc - but etiquette varies between different times and different places

what was the done thing i n a different time or place may not be here and now - wearing hats indoors is example of that.
 
I did until i had the stroke at work in '08, since my wife worked there too I was under constant scrutiny from the women. pfft...

I have a lot more now, and I earned every one of them. I wear my gray hair and beard with Pride.
 
I used to but got tired of always doing. I have been bald now for years and love it. Shave my head twice a day.

It's better to choose a hair color that is close to your natural hair color, and simply cover the grey or white hair.
I am sure you see there are plenty of fake blondes out there that look just ridiculous.
