WTF?! Ear Hair?

[arwalden]

I'm fucking 44 and I looked in the mirror in the bathroom and I see fucking hair growing from my ear. (Pluck that sucker out... OUCH!)

And then I notice that my eyebrow hairs are starting to get LONG!

What gives? They receed and fall from my previous hairline and before they can fall to the ground they "transplant" themselves in my eyebrows??

The Bruce Willis/Ed Harris look is still in, isn't it?

[kick-ass-bob]

1. are you mocking me???

:D

[Richardo]

2. Say hello to your future, arwalden

...or should I say, 'Leonid'?
Mwa-hahahahahahahahahaha :evilgrin:

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. See, now this is why you need a good hairstylist (the kind I used to be

who will take of it for you.

I'll always remember Bill Cosby talking about getting old and having your belly button get deeper..."I bent over to pick up a towel after the shower and a half cup of water came gushing out!!"

Happy Valentine's Day, Allen! :hi:

[arwalden]

6. Thanks... Happy Valen-TIMES Day To You Too!

My barber will trim my eyebrows back to something more natural looking. He'll use a standard comb for a guard, then run the electric clippers across the comb's teeth. Anything that's taller than the thickness of the comb is neatly clipped off. (Ta-dah!) Easy!

Fortunately, my belly button isn't that deep... but I recall that joke too... it's a funny mental image!

4. Dude, I'm *34* and I've started getting ear hairs.

I now do a weekly Search and Destroy recon mission for such old-fart signifiers. Pisses me off. At least I'm keeping the hair on top, though - so far so good on that.

[swimmernsecretsea]

5. Hey! Same for me!

I got one of those horrid micro-clippers that is supposed to trim eyebrow-ear-nose-sideburn-neck-back, etc. I've been trying to pluck the dang things out, but they come back just as strong as ever. I never wanted Andy Rooney-Don Imus brows! This is horrible!
Well, at least most of my hair is still on, and still dark. The back hair is starting to come in, but not that noticibly. I don't want to look like a strip of velcro.

PS: I haven't seen Ed Harris nor Bruce Willis in a while, have you?

[arwalden]

8. I Haven't Seen Either Of Them Recently...

... but as long as handsome actors don't try to hide their horseshoe-shaped hairlines... then I won't worry too much about mine.

It will be the new trendy hairstyle... before you know it, guys with NORMAL hairlines might just decide to start SHAVING a false receeding hairline shape into their heads. Hair-plug doctors will start to go out of business.

And what exactly are Andy Rooney, Don Imus, and Bob Novaks thinking? Don't they have wives (or make-up people) who are willing to say "HEY HONEY... TRIM THE EYEBROWS! You're looking horrible!"

7. In 25 more years, you'll take hair wherever it grows. n/t

[burythehatchet]

9. 44 here as well

the sucky thing about ear hair is that only one person in the world can't see yours.

[Bluebear]

10. Thank gawd for this gadget!!!

And it really, really works. Honest!

[trof]

16. Yep, I got one.

Don't want Andy Rooney eyebrows.

[miss_kitty]

11. cut ear and nose hair

no plucking. that's bad and somewhat dangerous.

[burythehatchet]

12. but absolutely indispensable when a tear is required

[dhinojosa]

13. 44? 44!!!?!?!?! I am going to be 33 next week and I have it all!!!!

A little late, no?

I have ear hair, back hair, eye brow hair (1+ inches at times), nose hair, anus hair (pretty shitty if you ask me), chest hair, belly hair, a unibrow, and it is all turning white!!!!

P.S. I am balding too. I am getting hair everywhere except my head. But I wouldn't have it any other way, I AM SEXY!

[Not_Giving_Up]

14. Did you really have to tell us about the anus hair?

Thanks for that mental picture that I really didn't need!

[dhinojosa]

15. If we cannot talk about anus hair openly then the terrorists have won.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!

[Not_Giving_Up]

19. They hate us for our freedoms

Shame on me, I didn't consider that somewhere it is taboo to speak of anus hair. I'm so proud to live where anus hair can be discussed so openly!

[trof]

17. Welcome to the OFC.

Old Farts' Club
No hair where you want it, and plenty where you don't.

[prolesunited]

18. Try being a woman!

I'm not even going to tell you all the interesting place hair sprouts when your hormones are shifting.

[arwalden]

20. Can I Guess?

[NC_Nurse]

21. No shit!

These poor men would faint if we went into those details! :o

[salin]

23. I thought it... but wasn't going to post it...

only found one stray so far... but yikes!

[CarbonDate]

22. Boo friggin' hoo. I'm 26. Welcome to the club, pops. n/t.

.

[VOX]

24. Take a long look in a magnifying mirror. After you regain consciousness...

from the fainting spell induced by seeing all those "tree trunks" sprouting from all sorts of places that they shouldn't, turn the mirror around to the normal 1:1 reflective side, and repeat softly, "I'm not older, I'm *better*." :thumbsup:

One of my more "out-there" phobias is the fear of being be laid up in a hospital bed for months, and to not be able to do any grooming on the ears, nose, eyebrows, beard, etc., with all of it growing like kudzu.

Hang in there, Allen :thumbsup:

[lumberingbear]

25. This is the culprit for the thinning hair!!!

26. Is there a problem with that?

Make everyone at DU proud and beat this guys record.



"Guinness confirms longest ear hair world record

A man with the world's longest ear hair has had his world record officially recognised.

B D Tyagi displays his record-breaking ear hair (AP)

The Guinness Book of Records has sent the official certificate to B D Tyagi of Bhopal in India.

The hair sprouting from the centre of his outer ears measures 10.2cm at its longest point.

The record appears in the Longest Ear Hair category.

The record was approved in 2001 but has only now been officially confirmed."

27. My theory.

Hair on the sides starts tunning gray. Thinking there's a fire, the hair on top moves to safety on the lower floors(ears, nose, eyebrows).

[Misunderestimator]

28. Ew... Allen... Promise me that...

if we ever meet... you will tweeze first? :) j/k

so glad I'm a woman (not j/k :))

[Aristus]

29. I feel for ya, man. I'm thirty-six and started going bald when I was

twenty-four. Couple of years ago, I started sprouting ear hair! Ugh! I tweeze it out as fast as it grows, though. Not gonna be one of those guys who just lets his hair-in-weird-places get totally out of control.

And the record-breaker in Bhopal? Please tell me it was just for the record, okay? :puke:

30. arwalden, you don't lose the hair - it just migrates south

arwalden, you don't lose the hair - it just migrates south for the winter - of your life.

[Thor_MN]

31. 44?? Lucky bastard!!!

I've been plucking for years and I'm two years younger than you. After a bit, you get to know where the LONG hair follicles are and do routine patrols for them.


What pisses me off is the hairs that grow ON my nose, not inside, on the outer surface of my nose. I just hope that my mind goes before my vision does, because then I won't care how I look.

[angstlessk]

32. Isn't there someone here doing ear worms? It may NOT be hair, but

very skinny worms, you know, Ann Coulter worms. Could be?

[Hand]

33. Insh'Allah...

You're doomed; doomed.

:evilgrin:

[American Tragedy]

34. Why does that happen to people?

And if you have it, please try to remove it or at least conceal the hair somehow. No offense, but it's nasty.
