Moustaches are hot! (beards absolutely not!)

I’m not sure if moustaches are having a moment but AIBU to find them really really attractive on men, especially when I detest beards (don’t mind stubble)?

  • Tom selleck/ Sam Elliot (oldies but goodies)
  • Aiden turner on Rivals (even Danny dyer)
  • Pedro pascal
  • My fav- Mike Wozniak the comedian
  • Bob from Bobs Burgers …I know, too far!

I think it signifies competency to me, which I find deeply attractive in a man. If he had his shirt sleeves rolled up, hairy arms, watch, hand on the headrest while reverse parking, all with a lovely tash, I honestly think I’d faint!

Beards, yuk! Find them scruffy and hate the feel of them. The ONLY exception to beards is that dapper bodyguard who works for King Charles.

Have you watched the law according to Lidia Poët on Netflix? There are some very hot Italian moustaches!

I see what you mean.

SaagAloopa · 08/12/2024 07:55

I'm not a fan. Especially when you can see all the hairs coming out of the skin individually

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 08/12/2024 07:54

Bleurgh. No. I don't like beards ir moustaches, either together or separately. A man might (just about) still be attractive in spite of them, but I just think 'Fgs shave that thing off!'.

Changeyourfuckingcar · 08/12/2024 07:48

Oh op no 😂 sometimes a man is attractive despite a moustache, but never attractive because of his moustache. So decreed I. But I don’t mind a neat, short beard. In fact, I feel personally offended if my gorgeous husband ever shaves his off entirely.
The exception is Burt Reynolds back in the day, specifically Smokey and the Bandit. Oh my. My mum always laughs at me about that one, particularly as I wasn’t even born until 17 years after that film came out!

YANBU at all, especially about Woz. But YABU not to have mentioned Milo Ventimiglia as Jack Pearson in This is Us. He was my first solo stache crush.

Moustaches terrify me. End of.
They're vile and grim and disgusting.

LoobyDoop2 · 08/12/2024 00:01

No, ick. Instant clamp shut.

pooballs · 07/12/2024 23:53

did anyone have the twits by roald dahl read to them as a child? I did and it massively gave me an aversion to beards

This is an exceedingly lascivious thread.

shiningcuckoo · 07/12/2024 23:45

I like a well groomed beard AND a tash on its own. Patrick Grant. Ted Lasso. But then I'm not picky.

StrawberryWater · 07/12/2024 23:44

Not a fan of the old 'stach. Having lived in Australia for a while as a kid and being surrounded by moustachioed men with mullets it kind of put me off them for life!

I don't like full or long beards either though.

However, a nice bit of looked after stubble though can look quite hot.

Calliopespa · 07/12/2024 23:43

Sunblessed · 07/12/2024 23:24

Moustaches with even a well maintained beard, I just find deeply unattractive. Yet just a moustache, I think is super hot .

But it looks like I’m on my own on this one 😂

I think you might be op.

It’s a no from me.

Ablondiebutagoody · 07/12/2024 23:43

Reading the Twits put me off facial hair for life. Stubble OK. Nowhere for Cornflakes to hide.

BigJabroni · 07/12/2024 23:42

Facial hair is the only real "make up" equivalent that men have. But a tache is bad.

I agree with you OP! I've been reflecting on this lately and I think it's because men have such boring faces. A nice moustache livens things up.

Yes and as guys get older, can also give a bit of structure to the face

Bob from Bob's Burgers can be described as many things but competent isn't one of them 🤣

You're also delulu if you think tacheless Woz is not hot. Point proven...

Hehe that’s true about Bob!

I mean, he’s a very handsome man for sure but honestly doesn’t do it for me without the Tash.

You're not on your own. I agree it's super hot

notprincehamlet · 07/12/2024 23:35

It says I managed to shave all of my face except this bit to me. Short-lived Movember ones are tolerable but they give me the creeps and turn the most handsome face into that of a depraved deviant.

PickAChew · 07/12/2024 23:31

Only acceptable on Mike Wozniak and Patrick Grant.

I prefer a beard to stubble, though. Stubble hurts my face, IIRC. Beards are much softer.

DoorOpening · 07/12/2024 23:30

Yep. Totally. I listen to him on the excellent three bean salad podcast - no visuals obvs but being funny def makes him hotter.

We do seem to be in the minority though!
