    I only ask as because of a (once again) stupid drunken bet, I had to grow a handlebar moustache and keep it for two weeks. The two weeks is up on Thursday, so yay or nay, if nay, what facial hair is acceptable?

    Depends on you're age really, cause if you're like, 40 and you've got one, if you shave it off you look younger :D
    but definately a NAY, i'd never let myself grow one.

    some thin moustaches are really cute. It depends on the shape of your face the squarer the better. Not great for kissin though, can be a bit on the spiky side

    When my dad was alive he had a moustache and it looked really well on him.

    Don't think it suits younger fellas though

    Nice to hear that someone else gets the Tom Selleck thing! Thought I was alone in the world with that one!

    I thought Hitler's tash suited :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,999 ✭✭✭The_Bullman


    I have to dissagree. Personally I think I look great with a handlebar tash :)

    Moustaches are the most pointless thing on the planet (although Marty Whelan was mentioned earlier.....could be a close run thing.....). Why bother getting up in the morning and shaving most of your face? Either shave the whole lot off or grow a beard, but why would you stop short of shaving your upper lip? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,182 ✭✭✭Tiriel


    imo defo no no no no no unless it's a goatee(if you're over 20 at least) or you're over 40..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭shivface


    no

    agree, but goatees are out (except for middle aged civil servants). Goatses are in :p

    Ugh. I really hate taches!

    As long as it's not the skanger-tache you see youngins with these days, a good proper 'stache can be quite cool.

    Does this not just say OMG COOL to you:

    Why bother buying nice clothes or shoes. Why not just cut a hole in a sheet and throw it over your head in the morning and go out like that. Some plastic bags on your feet, and you're set!

    Why grow a goaty?
    Why get your hair cut?
    Why do some people get contacts rather than glasses?

    Note: I don't have a tache, but I think you get my point. Style/fashion/dares/whatever....

    That 'stach just extrudes cool!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,132 ✭✭✭✭is_that_so


    If it looks good keep it. But it is very hard to carry off. I had one for a while - Mexican bandido look, not something I care to remember. Most young blokes look like seventies porn stars with them and should stay away from them. Older men can get away with it because it makes them a bit more distguished looking.

    Lol @ Tom Selleck fanciers? I'll never understand women..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,786 ✭✭✭✭Hagar

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,223 ✭✭✭OLDYELLAR
