To wonder why so many men are sporting an isolated moustache?

They looked hideous in the seventies when men didn’t know better. Now they’re combining that terrible look with an even more terrible look - the mullet. Why do men seem to want to look like porn stars?

Movember is coming up, as a big sign reminded me as I went in to Reading today.

I’ve been trying to convince my BF to shave off his beard but keep the tache. Probably some daddy issues as I’m old enough to have had an 80s dad with a moustache. It’s just the cyclical nature of fashion. All the cool kids are doing it!

Going to the gym and holding hands is "plastic", is it?

Dear god, I'd rather face a thousand mullets than encounter even one more of these tragic little incel types that pop up semi-regularly on here now.

Why do some women wear those tallons, duck lips, massive plastic asses, ridiculous fake lashes, drag-inspired makeup, botox-frozen faces, flesh coloured leggings, bum-scrunch leggings and the like. Far more baffling than the porn-stache. That you can shave off, at least.

My partner says to me he's glad he's not young it's a different world.

It's called getting old. Gradually becoming less interested in the world and ranting at the young for doing things differently. First step along the path of your brain preparing you for eventual death.

Not like the entire world is set up for the male gaze or anything 🤔

What does ‘the male gaze’ actually mean?

AuntieJoyce · 16/10/2024 05:31

Shock as men get bored with what looks back at them in the mirror in the same way that women do

I dunno, there have been loads of threads about how awful the big eyebrows/thick makeup/filled lips look is, and they don’t get massive pushback.

My DB has the mullet and moustache combo- the family rips the piss out of him, but it does suit him actually.

My grandfather has always had a giant bushy moustache and when he flashes a big smile he looks just like Freddie Mercury so I've always seen it as endearing

MrsSlocombesCat · 17/10/2024 23:47

I don’t like the way women get Botox and fillers either. But the moustache looked terrible back in the day. So did the mullet. That’s why I don’t understand it. I am of a certain age and some fashions should have been left in the past.

In preparation for Movember?

KimberleyClark · 17/10/2024 23:56

Are they starting early for Movember?

Going against the grain here and going to admit that i like them.. especially with the Australian style mullet! 😅

Me too!

Can someone post a photo? I haven't really seen this.

PickAChew · 18/10/2024 00:16

I haven't seen many moustaches but some of the school boys round here have truly glorious mullets.

IM SORRY FOR SHOUTING BUT ITS THIS! 2000k
men in my ohs company are doing this for charity, including my oh. I feel like waxing it off in his sleep

StepawayfromtheLindors · 18/10/2024 00:28

I loathe the look 🤢🤢

Inspireme2 · 18/10/2024 00:31

Yes the students all look the same.
Including the MafsUk bowl head cut its so terrible and cheap.

TrixieFatell · 18/10/2024 00:32

I'm not adverse to the tache and mullet. Paul Meschal is to blame for my mild obsession with the look. Not every man can carry off the look

SinnerBoy · 18/10/2024 05:16

Icanthinkformyselfthanks

get over yourself! No it isn’t! Women have completely emasculated men and vicious ‘feminism’ has royally screwed relationships and family life.

Blimey, who knew that Christopher Chope could use the internet?

GreenTeaLikesMe · 18/10/2024 05:21

Ugh, don't get it either. Looks like a bad case of nose hair in some cases as well.
