The Lands Where Grey Hairs Are Banished ...

Have you ever noticed that in the Middle East, the higher up you are, the less grey hairs you have, so octogenarians such as the Saudi King and the Egyptian ruler are sitting around, like models for "Just For Men" ....

..... the more third world your politics i.e. Autocrats and Heredity Dictatorships (which is what the Egyptian, Iraqi, Saudi, Syrian and other Arab Rulers and 'Royalty' really are), then the less grey hair you can have.
 
Here's some fine examples of Arab manhood and masculinity ..... also dictatorship.

  1. Its obvious that dictators want to give off the vibe of 'manly' good looks and virility, despite being decrepit old men. I expect that women are regularly asked if the 'dear leader' is still a 'hunk'. LOL

    They fear looking 'weak' as much as anything else because thats when the next coup happens..... they must always fear for their families because a coup normally wipes out the bloodline just like when they seized power.

  2. Its what impresses the masses in these regimes .... all the signs of immortality, right up until they die. The first emperor of China, was a tyrant and tried the same thing.
