Comeback of the Mustache? I Don’t Think So
There is an ugly rumor circulating about the return of the 1970s mustache-wearing male finding his way to the 21st century. Is this a backlash to the metrosexual era? Is this a way for the “regular guy” to reclaim his masculinity? Is this a way of making food stuck to a man’s face acceptable?
As a single woman, I strongly object to this horrific trend. I’m not going to throw around careless accusations against facial hair. That just wouldn’t be right. Rather, my approach will be fair and balanced. You know, the reporting style made famous by Fox News.
Most importantly, I have very sensitive skin. In fact, so sensitive that I once went out on a date with a man that had facial hair and after three hours of lip smacking, my skin became so irritated that I developed a rash. Sure, you can make the argument that the rash was due to the marathon-long make-out session, not the mustache per se, but this isn’t a time to be logical. Let’s keep the focus of this post where it belongs, on the ill-conceived return of the mustache.
Magnum, P. I. mustache? Oh, now you’re playing dirty (I like that), but chances are you don’t look like Tom Selleck. Psssssst. If you share his rugged good looks, e-mail me your digits.
I’m just sayin’.
Never having worn a moustache, <-(elegant spelling proves I am more than just the voice of reason) I have had to suffer endless kissing marathons with pretty little birdies when all I wanted was to conclude my testoserone business and get back to my cathode ray. From now on, I will never go on a date with less than 4 days of growth anywhere near my bored little lips. Thank god I have found the antidote to all those girls who want to kiss me.
Being completely incapable of growing anything that could be even remotely described as a decent moustache, for the past 30 years now I have always been jealous of guys who could. Grow a moustache, that is. Now I no longer have a reason to be jealous. Thanks Auria Cortes - whoever you are!
Some mustaches are over kill, but the clean, subtle, shadow mustache into a gotti, still gives me chills that run up and down the length of the back of my neck. Some call it flavor saver, I call it think of me later…if done tastefully, I say bring it on!!!
cami has some serious issues.
I was one of those guys who wanted a mustache and beard, and now I have to shave everyday just to have a clean looking face.
The mustache is a must-don’t! Men are not the only gender sporting the unsightly facial hair; some women have a beard to match. Learn the terms - shaving, waxing, laser hair removal.
