Think you have hit the nail on the head - I would just like to be doing 'alright for my age' and that mostly means dyeing my hair. I think I wouldn't rally bother to do that, but I would like to remain in employment and they judge women far quicker than they do men in that respect.

I have noticed that even men (mostly newscasters) are dyeing their hair more and more. What is so wrong with age/wisdom/respect?
