Tell tale sign you are getting older (or at least have entered your 30s)

[NetWareHead]

I went for a haircut and the stylist asks if I want my eyebrows trimmed. What do you mean trimmed I ask? (She is a good friend of my GF and we know each other pretty well.) So she reaches and grabs this one eyebrow hair that had to be like 2 inches long!! It had done a good job of tucking itself away between the other hairs so I didn't really notice it until she grabbed it and really showed me how long it was.

She says "This hair is unruly and it would make your eyebrows neater" I was without words and could only blurt out: "I don't know, I never had my eyebrows trimmed. Really? I mean have you ever done this before?? Guys get their eyebrows trimmed??" She laughs and responds "Yes I do it all the time for guys, here now hold still" So she uses some eyebrow shaping comb/trimmer thing and walla, both eyebrows are shorter and a hell of alot neater. I never even knew they had grown to that level of disorganization!

Later on when I tell my GF, she mentions that my ears have been getting "furry" and in particular I have one long hair that is growing straight out of my earlobe.

hahah

yeah. i have 3-5 eyebrow hair's that are long and 1 hair on my ear.

 

[rudeguy]

Yep. I knew I was done for the first time I had my ears trimmed. WHAT? MY EARS? WHHYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Just pluck those eyebrow hairs. No tweezers, just grab and pull the little bastards.

You young whippersnappers!

stage one is when it starts growing in odd places like ears.
stage TWO is when it STOPS growing on your head!

I already know about this. My GF tried her absolute hardest to convince me to wax my back. In her words, she doesn't mind hair on the lower back but thinks is caveman like and gross to have upper back hair. Apparently, I have more upper back hair since we first met.

The last time I cut my hair, the girl gave me the little handheld mirror to check out the back of my head and I commented on how an area in the back looked uneven. Her response was that it was even, there is just a patch of white hair there so it looks that way.

I sadly paid and left to cry in my car.

I get straight up white hairs in my beard. Since my goatee is at 3/4 of a fist now, they stand out bad. I pluck the lil bastards when I get a chance but they respawn pretty quick.

haha,

My girlfriend hates my long eyebrow hairs. I always joke with her saying that I am growing out my eyebrow hair so I can look like those old kung fu warriors.

Kind of like the ones this guy has

It's cultural I guess, even as a young man the Turkish barbers used to use flaming cotton balls dipped in Alcohol to burn off excess hair around the ears.

Again we have someone to young to have watched Andy Rooney and learn simply by observing.

i started stage two before i got to stage 1...

My wife would say my hair slid down my back. i have little hair on my head but the top of my back and shoulders are getting very hairy.

 

[Ventanni]

Haha, I just turned 30 and so too did the eyebrow trimming start.

 

[highland145]

Tell tale signs...you're worried about hair? Just wait until stuff hurt for NO EFFING REASON....AT ALL. Damned hip today, like a tooth ache and I won't be 50 until March.

 

[crownjules]

Hah me too. My GF cuts my hair and the first time she said she wanted to trim my eyebrows it was a bit of a shock.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Biggest sign of getting older/wiser is when you realize that all of the things you use to think were cool and boring become the opposite.

pics of eyebrows?

I get my eyebrows and ear hair trimmed every time I get my hair down which is about 4-6 weeks.

 

[William Gaatjes]

Long eye brow hairs and long ear hairs, pfoooieeee

I have grey streaks of hair on the sides of my head just like Reed Richards.

 

[K1052]

I always had wild eyebrows so that isn't much of a change to me.

Random shit starting to ache after activity and going to bed early have been creeping up on me as I've moved into my early 30s though.

Yup.

My last barber was a "Let's trim those eyebrows" kind of guy.

Great barber. Also used the hot lather and straight razor to clean up sideburns, neck, and around the ears.
He retired (again) and I haven't gotten a haircut since. (more than 18 months ago)

 

[meltdown75]

I always have to get mine trimmed. They are the fastest growing hairs I've ever seen. I trim them about once a week with small scissors and get them 'officially' trimmed when I get a haircut. Never had to really trim them until my early 30s.
