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.

Yabu not attractive at all. I prefer stubble

KimberleyClark · 07/12/2024 23:19

I like nicely groomed beards on Spanish/hispanic types

Yadbu... I associate moustaches with misogynistic types andas for the feel of them... There would never be any kissing so I can't find them attractive. 🙂‍↔️

SnapdragonToadflax · 07/12/2024 23:22

Nope. Nope nope nope.

I've seen a lot of men with mullets and big moustaches today, and it's such a revoltingly off-putting look I can't imagine how anyone would find it attractive.

I’m with you OP. Mike W is mine, however - sorry.

Nooooo

Moustaches are for porn stars and teenage boys

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 find moustaches make men look creepy and sticky-handed.
I like stubble.

RisingSunn · 07/12/2024 23:25

Nope. Must definitely have a beard attached.

He’s dreamy isn’t he!

There’s something about his boring dad look, that I find so attractive. Without the moustache, he is a very good looking guy but not hot.

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!

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.

HaddawayAndShite · 07/12/2024 23:34

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...

I think it signifies competency to me
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.

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

AshCrapp · 07/12/2024 23:39

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.

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.

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

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

Ablondiebutagoody · 07/12/2024 23:43

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

I think you might be op.

It’s a no from me.

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.

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.

Calliopespa · 07/12/2024 23:46

This is an exceedingly lascivious thread.

Sunblessed · 07/12/2024 23:48

Steady on! 😂
