To Stubble is Noble, To Moustache is Divine

[Howard Roark]

I miss my moustache.

spoiler'd for LJ:

Spoiler: show

About a month ago, I had lazed myself into a beard, had a few days off and my unruly stubble turned into a manbeard, all was good and peaceful. One fine Thursday I trimmed most of it off on a whim, leaving a bristling, neatly trimmed moustache.

Now, these days, a moustache is a tough sell, it is not reccommended for the weak at heart, nor for most single men. It must be carried with swagger, bravado, and barring that: a little more courage than you might have.

Anyway I had fun with it for a while but it ultimately became a beast of its own, and no beard trimmer could conquer it, or really just keep it as neat as I would have liked. It was a mix of MiokoMioko's old moustache (picture Capt. Jack Sparrow-ish) and what a young Wilfred Brimley must have looked like.


The woman loved it, she said it looked 'diiiirty' -- she liked it for all the same reasons others didn't (most said it made me look like a perv, but this was pretty much the intended effect, a throwback to the 70s adult stars).

So,

who loves moustaches?

[Ivve]

mustaches are pretty disgusting and most of the time seem to end up implying pedophilia

[Beckwin]

moustaches are pretty sweet. i've been shifting my facial hair around fairly frequently lately; done the pedo-stache and the biker/redneck one that goes straight down to the jawline from the corner of the mouth. other than that, a full lumberjack beard with the neck kept clean and then varying light beards in-between.

cleaned up last night though, lookin' babyface atm.

[Beckwin]

also ivve is ruining the beautifawesome manliness of this topic, get out wench

[Ivve]

shut the fuck up baby, your words ruin the effect of your presence

[Ivve]

also, if you want to make a thread to stroke each other over how awesome you think you look... y'all niggas is gay

[Beckwin]

there's nothing gay about men discussing awesome facial hair. all men, regardless of sexuality, know how great facial hair is.

it is what bonds us all, as brothers.

[Ivve]

no it's definitely pretty gay if you're disregarding the fact that it repels the ladies because you wanna be closer to your "brothers."

'taches are awesome.

Anybody who's ever shaved off a full-face beard, as I did a few weeks ago, who says that they didn't spend a few minutes in the bathroom mirror sculpting it into a series of bizarre and increasingly Hitleresque 'tacheforms is a filthy lying bastard.

this is truth. I was doing some crazy sideburns-to-moustache chester a garfield shit.

and then of course you can indulge your charlie chaplain/hitler stache desires at the end.

and ivve in truth, facial hair serves as a filter- you don't have to deal with trashy tasteless bitches. a good lady can appreciate facial hair.

[Howard Roark]

I think part of it is recognizing that no one respects Tom Selleck anymore, and only taxi drivers sport any kind of 'modern' straight-faced moustache

so, since I'm not Sri Lankan or Pakistani, and also am not Tom Selleck, I must be a) a pedo or b) a 70s porn star type dude -- in any case, I shouldn't be having one before the age of 40


in all honesty, I'll probably grow it back at some point, as the gf loves it, but the drawbacks are a pain, like watching when and where I may scratch with my moustache (no one, and I mean no one likes bristles poking their clit) so I gotta modify my pussy eating technique (a slight pain but oh well)

that and, in all honesty, I didn't get enough look son the subway -- yeah I said it, every guy likes to be looked at even if he's taken, a couple looked-a-little-too-long's, some nice smiles w/e

the only time I really got those looks (unless I was rocking my kickass gradation tinted sunglasses) were in the douchebaggy part of town (really west on Queen W.)

it can also work as a different kind of filter -- if you can pull it off while single, the girls you'll get will be a minx in the sack or those goddamn foxy looking hairdresser types that pull off I-just-got-fucked hair in the most amazing ways

Mustaches are alright, but real men have Beards.

[Shiroikage]

My beard has the illusion of becoming a moustache, but in reality, it never actually quite joins up.

[tyven]

the last two years i have competed in Moustache May with my friends, last person to shave their stache wins, i always lose about two weeks in, i just cant get used to the feeling, it drives me insane. its all about keeping a perfect stubble year round.

Its the hairs climbing back up into your nose isnt it? You look like a coke head cause you are rubbing your nose all day.

[Mizango]

Look here baby, just call me Dolemite.
