    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.

      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.

    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’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…

    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

      This is false. You can wear a mustache if you want, you don’t need permission from Dogyote.

      I see you haven’t hung around a military base recently. These teenagers and early 20s all got 1970s staches. Mustaches are back, baby!

        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.
