Ladies!!! Put the fan away and sit down…No Sis, you are not having hot flashes!! You are getting a glimpse of our counterparts: Behold The Silver Men.
So, move over Silver Sisters and make way for these Silver Brothers to stand alongside us in the burgeoning Positive Aging movement as we light the path in the Silver Spotlight together. Gray haired salt and pepper men, celebrities, and high powered business men alike have long been deemed sexy and mature merely getting better with age while traipsing around with much younger arm candy. Silver Sisters have finally caught up, owning their glorious tresses and making a big splash on social media. And while the world is finally taking notice that aging and gray hair can indeed be beautiful, this is a new breed of silver haired foxes; men confident in style and swagger for the whole world to see. They are kicking it up a notch or two.
“The clinical research tells us that by the age of 50, most men will develop grey hair (Genetics Home Reference, 2017). Your hair color is determined by a pigment called melanin; a substance that hair follicles produce. Hair follicles are dynamic structures that reside in the dermal layer of your skin and made up of 20 unique cells. As you age, these follicles produce less melanin, thereby reducing color pigmentation. Some men will start to notice grey hair atop their head in their 20’s. More will spot whitish patches in their 30’s. And by the time you are 40, you will likely see (some) salt and pepper set in”. (From guycounseling.com)
Either that, or they start going bald. Not that baldness is a bad thing, but with the popularity of beards today, it adds a nice counterbalance to the baldness while showcasing their silver tinsel.
These brothers have defined their individual style, and not only are they looking Fly, but they are notably health conscious and fit.
So, I hereby give you permission to behold God’s magnificent creations without guilt!
Looking is free!
Whether bald or bearded, dread locked or tatted, each Silver Brother depicted here is making his unique silver splash in a big way:
Some are professional models like @orlandosilverfox who is as close to perfection as one can get. The word “Adonis” comes to mind with his chiseled body and face to match. (He also gives me a Prince vibe in some photos)(photo credit: Gunnar Gabrielsen)
@mrericcedeno, a silver model, sports gorgeous silver locs along with that enviable flawless skin AND smile.
I have been following @city.lord as he makes his way around colorful spots in Germany to capture great vibrant pics.
@alisudani just looks great with that silver crown and beard, and sports a modern twist to his classic style.
@franky_silverman is a model who wears a longer beard and sports rugged manliness with street style cool, and I am not mad at all those tatts!
@mrmoodydresser has impeccable swag and style as he bounces effortlessly between cool dapper looks and ultra-chic street style.
@biggrip69 has a unique and glorious snow white beard, keeps fit, and is a Deputy Sheriff…I feel safer already!!
@aldgoldie is a model who can sport clean classic handsome looks as well as rough and rugged ones
@tonsorialist_mrdexx is a NYC based Grand Master Barber and you can tell by his beard game and debonaire air. (Yeah, I had to look up “tonsorialist” too!)
@therealwinstonwarrior – apparently bald heads and beards are a thing, and Mr. Winston: multi-talented musician, artist, and more, knows how to work it all very well…
Just like Silver Sisters ditching the dye, men can put away their boxed dye and be confident that the gray doesn’t make them look old, they look Grayt!
It is truly all about mindset, attitude, self-awareness, and style. It can make all the difference between old and bold.
So go ahead and scoot over Silver Queen, and let that Silver King take his rightful place on the throne.
I know you will give your Silver Brothers a follow…
Like Silver Sisters, there are so many Silver Brothers to choose from it was hard to select them so I will most likely feature more Silver Brother in upcoming posts.
What do you think…do you want more???
Post your comments below, and submit your favorite silver brothers for my next post.
Smoochez!!!

Back when I was living in Brooklyn a few years ago, I found myself in an unexpected situation that left me reflecting on the perceptions of age and vitality. As I strolled down the street behind a group of high school students, I couldn't help but notice their slower...
Part 2. Be Patient. The first man who buys you coffee is not necessarily the one walking you down the aisle — and that’s okay. Dating at this stage of life is about discovery, not desperation. Keep it light. Keep it fun. A coffee date can turn into a great friendship, a confidence boost, or the foundation of something beautiful. You don’t have to rush the process. Get to know people. Ask questions. Laugh more. Expect less pressure and more connection. And to all the men out there dating over 50 — I want to hear from YOU. Drop your experience in the comments 👇 What do you wish women knew? What surprised you about dating at this stage?

Part 1-Dating at any age is not for the faint of heart these days-but if you’re over 40…Ooooh Chile, it can be a real challenge in this changing world. Some of you ladies give up after one or two dates, some of y’all don’t even wanna get started, and then lament about being alone. I’ve even helped some women with their profile, and then for some reason they don’t go online. I know it’s not for everyone, and there are a lot of creeps out there, but like Lotto-“You’ve gotta be in it to win it!” Stay hopeful, be wise, and stay at it if a relationship is your goal. People often ask me where my husband and I met, so I put together a FREE Download with some dating sites, and a few tips about online dating.

The promise of Easter… The promise of spring- signifying new beginnings, new life. Longer days, better weather, everything is blooming. I, for one an happy spring is here. How about you? Have a blessed week!
Pink is not a color I wear too often, but I’m feeling it today, so this is what I wore to church.

Did you know that Easter is more important to many believers than Christmas? More people typically attend church for Easter than for Christmas. Why? He is risen—and that changed everything. Christmas gave us the promise, but Easter gave us the victory: the cross, the empty tomb, and the reminder that death never gets the final word. For me, Easter is the heartbeat of our faith…the day hope became real, grace became personal, and new life became possible for all of us. Today I’m celebrating the power of resurrection, the beauty of redemption, and the blessing of knowing that no matter our age, God is still in the business of making all things new. ✝️

#TBT Back in the 80s and 90s, pregnancy photos weren’t giving red carpets, flower walls, smoke bombs, or couture belly gowns. They were giving “Move the camera before I blink” and one good shot if the film developed right. 😂 But candid or not, these snapshots hold something today’s polished perfection can’t always capture so effortlessly: the quiet wonder of becoming someone’s mother. Looking at these old pregnancy moments and seeing Kristian and Justin in the making pop into the frame now feels like life winking back at me. Two seasons, two miracles, two boys who once fit beneath my heart and now stand in the world as men. There may not have been glamour, but there was love, hope, swollen face and ankles, and a whole lot of faith in what was to come. And honestly? That’s still the most beautiful maternity story of all.

The choice to embrace your natural silver strands is nothing short of revolutionary. It’s like telling the world, “I am comfortable in my own skin, and I’m here to slay.”
