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?

Not keen but bet some men are not keen on jet black thick brows and lashes

WillowTit · 18/10/2024 06:11

i saw a ridiculous white haired man with what turned out to be a soul patch

Coconutter24 · 18/10/2024 06:22

Haven’t we learnt yet people have different tastes and styles 🥱
It’s either come back in fashion or movember prep.

Hmmmm, Mike Wozniak looked good without the beard too.

I quite like it, especially on people like Benson Boone, I think it adds a bit of character.

Why do so many women sport filled lips? Such trout-pouts make them look like porn stars...
Why make sexist remarks about anyone?

Movember is starting soon. Learn more and maybe don't judge.

Blame Milo Ventimiglia. He looked hot with a tash in this is us.

munchbunch12 · 18/10/2024 07:17

Ooops, my post should've said MW looked good without a 'tache too, not beard!

HeadNorth · 18/10/2024 07:19

It's the fashion among the youth - us oldies aren't meant to get it.

SmellyScrambler · 18/10/2024 07:24

I think this must be an age thing. I’m late 40s and see young men with this look everywhere and every single one of them looks like he should be on a list. Yet my daughter thinks they look perfectly normal and I’m old fashioned.

Maybe but not as old fashioned as a bunch of young blokes cosplaying a 1970s flasher.

They like how they look?
Much like overly made up women with spiders for eyelashes and ridiculously long nails think they look good?

Yeah - and it's just fashion. This stuff goes around and comes around.

The point of Movember has always been to start the month clean shaven and grow a tache over the course of the month. So it’s not this. People are just liking taches. Which is fine.

LlynTegid · 18/10/2024 07:55

Agree most look awful as do most beards. With beards I think it is laziness in many cases, perhaps with moustaches it is people who follow fashion without thinking whether it looks suitable for them.

FootbalIslife · 18/10/2024 07:58

I agree Op, I don’t find them attractive at all. I also don’t like mullets and they’re coming back as well! Luckily DH has a job where he needs to be clean shaven and have a very smart hair cut!

Not sure this PP's user name is quite accurate... 🙄

That was exactly what I was thinking 😂

Sethera · 18/10/2024 08:00

I was thinking the other day that so many men have beards and moustaches now, 'Movember' would have more impact if they challenged men to be clean-shaven for a month.

OK, Google is not being helpful - what's a soul patch?

AntigoneFunn · 18/10/2024 05:32

Come now. I give you Mike Wozniak.

That one looks like one of the stick on 'taches you get from the party shop and how the hell do you eat without getting loads of food stuck in it.

Personally, I'm not keen on any excess body hair on men or women.

LoobyDoop2 · 18/10/2024 08:06

Everyone stop laughing at the men, please, and remember that when they adopt ridiculous fashions it is not because of stupidity or vanity like those silly young women, it’s for charity. Show some respect and be grateful.

FuckMiniBabybells · 18/10/2024 08:08

They look sleazy AF, but I kinda like it.

Do yourself a favor and don't look 🤢
I wouldn't shag the last man on earth if he had one of those things

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 18/10/2024 08:15

I quite like a decent, full moustache. I don't mind a mullet either.

I always feel quite happy for men who want to adopt 'a look' instead of going for the identikit fashions that so many of them accidentally bimble into.

Greentreesandbushes · 18/10/2024 08:16

Hate Movember, traveling back from London on a late train at the end of November with a train load of men with moustaches that they wouldn’t normally have and makes them look creepy.

SallyWD · 18/10/2024 08:18

I work at a university, and loads of the young men have 80s style mullets and moustaches. It's just the fashion.
