    I shaved my chin and weak-ass sideburns so I had a horseshoe moustache. Just as a joke to go show my partner. She said “It’s good you should keep it like that”. so now I’m a horseshoe moustache man.

      This. I shaved my beard down to a moustache because I figured I’d get a laugh. Now I’m buying Hawai’in shirts and white pants to fill out her Magnum PI fantasy.

      Asking your partner what they like is often the way to go. respect in the relaationship is always a 2 way street as are boundrys.

    I’m a guy and have always been of the opinion that my partner is the one that has to look at me the most, so she can dictate how I look if she cares to do so, for the most part, at least.

      My now-ex wife wanted me to grow a goatee. I’ve always been clean-shaven. I tried it for a few weeks, hated it, and shaved it off.

      Also, she wouldn’t shave where I wanted her to…

    Wow, I didn’t realise I was such a minority.

    I think men look wayyy better with facial hair: moustaches, full beard, two-weeks of stubble; anything, really.

        I always talk with my wife before I do something weird with my facial hair. Like the colonel sanders was fun, but not sustainable in the long term.

        But like, imagine getting dumped because you got a haircut. Not a bad haircut, just a haircut. That’s how ridiculous some people are about facial hair.

              My cats think so. They keep waking me up by nibbling on my face. I’m not sure whether they’re being cute or trying to give my wife a hint or hells forbid checking whether I’m alive and trying to eat my face. I’ve got like ten hours to decide whether to train them out of it

    My front teeth are crooked. I was quoted $7,500 for braces. The moustache is free and pulls attention away from my teeth.

    I would rather have straight teeth.

    IMO the vast majority of men cannot pull off a mustache. In order to pull off a mustache, you need to project competence, authority, and maturity. You absolutely must exude all three without trying. If you’re under 30 don’t even try. Furthermore, it must look good. Thick, full, groomed. Again, all three required. The percentage of the male identifying population that has all six of those attributes is way lower than what I’m seeing in the wild. If you know someone close to you who is mustachioed but doesn’t have the attributes, shave it off. If they’re mad, tell them someone deserving of a mustache wouldn’t have let that happen.

    Edit: your hate for my opinion won’t make your mustasche look good

        Seeing teens and those in their early 20s with a mustache always makes me chuckle. It doesn’t work on a fresh, wrinkle-free face.

      Wait, you’re suggesting that people forcibly shave another man’s mustache?

      I mean, it’s wrong, but… I’d watch.

      Also, I’m sorry so few people caught that this is satire.

    I was on a multi-week survival camping (no amenities) gathering in the middle of the forest and there was a guy with a perfectly twirled mustache. How vain do you have to be to keep that up under such conditions?

        What if you start off one side of the mustache as a twirled one like the image, then the other side is a handle bar, down and along the jaw line, up over the ear and down and around to the bottom middle of the back of the head to a rats tail (with a bald head).

          I worked with a guy who suggested something similar to this for a Movember growth.

          He described it as an asymmetrical moustache.

          Can’t even contemplate the confidence on pulling it off whist taking public transport.
