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.

Yeh, I do think it’s a trend coming back.

I’ve never been a fan of the beard. Hate PoWs new beard. He really doesn’t suit it, looks so scruffy. Just looks scraggly.

I also don’t think he’d suit a Tash. I think you need hair for it to work.

Maybe it is generational but moustaches are what my grandfather’s generation (WWI) found fashionable and then wore their whole lives. So I associate them with really old men?

Humphreyshead · 08/12/2024 15:54

It’s a fad with all the yunguns near me! So no!… Declan from rivals is fit though!!

I think he looked better as Poldark

I think a lot of them get beards to minimise the look of a double chin don’t they? I see a lot appearing mid forties as waistlines relax!

I’m not sure what the point of a moustache is …

Definitely a thing. DP has just turned 50 and the first place the weight is going is on his cheeks and chin, which is kind of melding into his neck. A beard is fine by me.

A tache on its own would mean a swift farewell.

I think Prince William looks good with his stubbly beard! I think it suits him.

Opposite for me, don't mind a little bit of facial hair but just a lone mustache is 🤢

TheOtherAgentJohnson · 08/12/2024 19:01

Full beard for me please. Specifically Chris Evans's beard in Avengers Infinity War. And the Chris Evans too, thanks very much.

TheMildManneredMilitant · 08/12/2024 19:10

It would have been a 'hell no' from me OP and then Aiden Turner in Rivals happened.

BlueEyedLeucy · 08/12/2024 19:38

God no, a full beard or nothing!

And if he’s got his hand on the headrest reversing, I’m judging him - can’t be doing with a man who can’t reverse with his mirrors. :P

AllIsMerryAndBright · 08/12/2024 20:11

I'll say it again.

Moustaches are hot! (beards absolutely not!)
AllIsMerryAndBright · 08/12/2024 20:12

Ooo yes and Declan!

Moustaches are hot! (beards absolutely not!)
CaptainBeanThief · 08/12/2024 20:14

How about this guy?

Moustaches are hot! (beards absolutely not!)
Tess150 · 08/12/2024 20:36

No absolutely awful. Just screams 70's porn star to me. I hate beards too, the hair is horribly wiry and like pubes.

Nicely tended stubble I'm a fan of though, unfortunately I suffer very badly from stubble rash if I kiss someone with stubble - so it's for looking at only.

I agree. I like the Beardy PW look. It breaks up his extraordinarily columnar face.

Perhaps I might adopt the beard in a year or two. 😕

Apileofballyhoo · 08/12/2024 22:26

Robert Redford had one in Butch and Sundance and Paul Newman did in the Sting. Though both extremely handsome without!

MyPithyPoster · 08/12/2024 22:27

Agreed

Sunblessed · 08/12/2024 23:04

Robert Redford was beautiful, even more so with a moustache. But yes, he looked gorgeous without.

He looked bloody awful with a beard though!

DianaRiggsCatsuit · 08/12/2024 23:13

Clean shaven for me. Every time.
I might be able to tolerate some stubble or a very neat beard but long beards give me the ick. Patchy beards are awful too.

OAPapparently · 07/12/2024 23:25

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

This.

TheOtherAgentJohnson · 08/12/2024 23:34

Stubble looks sexy, but it's the worst for kissing, it's like snogging a scrubbing brush. Gives you a chin rash.

Needhelp101 · 08/12/2024 23:40

Moustaches are about as attractive as Private Baldrick balancing a dead slug on his upper lip.

Moustaches with beards though, I'll concede can be attractive.

Radishknot · 08/12/2024 23:40

Moustaches say pedo to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

DramaAlpaca · 08/12/2024 23:49

I had a bit of a work crush, which ended in a flash the minute he grew a moustache. I'd been looking forward to seeing him when he came back from holiday, then I spotted the creepy thing on his upper lip. Silly crush over, just like that thank goodness

However, I love a tache if it's accompanied by a short, neat beard. On the right man that's very hot indeed.
