When His Moustache Comes Between You!Page 1 of 5    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Why do men grow grotesque, huge facial hair? I met someone I relate to on a couple of levels and it was quite pleasant. Truthfully, all I could see was this monstrous moustach that was SO big and thick it looked like two dead squirrels had been hair jelled together...but ok it was only a conversation and a cup of coffee. I enjoyed his company until he wanted to get closer...well he couldn't GET that close because of this really really THICK HUGE Moustache--and when he tried to kiss me...well. I withdrew. The thought of that big hairy thing scratching and poking my face and lips...I do not remember what HE looked like but I can tell you minute details of his stash! Why do guys DO that? I am a firm believer that the fancier the facial hair, the more the guy is trying to hide.

Why do you have eyelashes, giving you all kinds of facial hair? And what about that big furry thing all on the top of your head?

There are different reasons why some people have facial hair. Some of it is it is natural. Some of it is it means "I am a man." Some of it is some men tire of shaving. Some of it is some men want to be counter-cultural. Some of it is they want to insult women who don't like men with facial hair. Some of it is to be unlike GW Bush... et. al.

I find it shallow that someone who "relates" on "levels" can't accept the person in front of them because... they are man.

I hate mustaches as well.

They compete with mine. So she must shave hers off.

Oh, the 70's walrus 'stache. I'm with you on that. When your 'stache covers your lips it makes you look like you are missing half a face.


I do love a well groomed Van Dyke. I have been know to say " Oh, baby, you don't have to shave. It's the weekend."

I don't think guys are trying to hide anything. Some look better with facial hair, some don't.
I get my legs waxed so I don't have to shave everyday. So I figure if shaving my legs is a pain in the butt I am sure shaving your face everyday is to. So I try to cut a guy some slack when it comes to shaving.

I personally tend to prefer facial hair on men. It's pretty simple really, if you don't like it, don't date men with it. It takes time to grow "huge facial hair", so it isn't like you had no idea that he had it before you met, right?

Oh My! That’s quite the visual! I’m definitely going to have to point this thread out to my honey!

OP, I agree that overgrown, poorly groomed moustaches are definitely a turn off, but you lost me when you said that fancy facial hair indicates that a man has something to hide. My boyfriend has had a moustache since he was in his early 20’s. In fact, the only time he ever shaved it off was when a carburetor blew in his face and burned away half of it so he had to shave the other half off. I’ve seen pictures of him pre-moustache and IMHO, he is very handsome with or without it. No hideous deformities or scars or weird shaped lips or anything like that. It’s just something that he likes and he thinks he looks better with it than without it. And believe me, it doesn’t get in the way of any intimacy between us, in fact, it can make a few things rather interesting

I have no problems with facial hair/'stashes.

It's full beards I don't care for.

Assume you didnt see a photo of him before you met him. I like men with facial hair, or without. But then I am actually very Zen. And beards and mustaches are very common in many cultures, as well as some professions. Some great looking men here in the Sierras with wild west mustaches.

A moustache doesn't mean a man has something to hide, he might simply like the look. As men age, most of them grow out facial hair to some extent, sometimes as a mark of distinction, other times to compensate for the fact that the rest of the hair on their head has fallen off...

In my case, I always marveled at my Dad's goatee as a kid, and wanted to be able to grow one. However my baby face genes kept me from being able to grow one until about age 27, when I finally gave it a shot while living abroad for a year (nobody around to notice how scruffy I looked). It looked terrible in its natural shaggy form, but after some pruning here and there, became a good new look for me, and finally allowed me to look more my age (and hit on older women).

However I will give you this one concession: I have noticed that a lot of women HATE moustaches, and I can see why some would find it itchy or unsightly up close (mine didn't look great up close in the mirror, but photographed well from afar). I eventually shaved mine off last month but kept the chin portion of the goatee, and since then the ladies have been eating it up!

Personally I think facial hair on a guy is okay, depending on the guy... but definately not those massive bushy ones that are unkempt and look like they're going to attack you. Op- sounds like your man had the extreme stash... I'd be scared to kiss him too. Ouuuch!

For some, myself included, shaving is an EXTREMELY painful process. My
upper lip is VERY tender, so I haven't shaven it in 30 years. Shaving
the REST of my face, while traumatic for me, has been ESSENTIAL to
maintain my income, which, while not stellar, DOES support my meager
lifestyle. If a woman finds this offensive, she has NO place in MY
life. In ANY life, there is SEX and there is creature comfort. Hey, I
LOVE sex, but when push comes to shove, creature comfort trumps ALL. I
REFUSE to have some BIMBO preach to me about into which orifice I MUST
shove my comfort level. I have sacrificed TOO MUCH on the altar of
relationships and I will sacrifice NO MORE. I have heard MUCH about
the sacrifice required of me, but NEVER anything about what could be
required of her. WHAT, she should NEVER sacrifice ANYTHING, for ANY
reason? Wow, I must REALLY be OLD SCHOOL!!!! I was mistakenly and
erroneously led to believe that relationships were supposedly to be
give and take. This misconception led me to FURTHER believe that a
relationship DEPENDS upon some sort of mutual give and take attitude.

I see from my perusal of these forums that this is truly NOT the case.
Relationships are based SOLELY on what the WOMAN desires and what the
MAN is willing to TOLERATE. The man's DESIRES are of NO consequence to
her.

Bear in mind that the previously expressed opinions are based on
previous postings that I have read combined with my own personal
experiences. In all, only ONE relationship made me feel like I was a
MAN who was WORTH a SH!T, and after two years, I find SHE was
MARRIED!!!! Oh, yeah, I almost forgot, SHE was the ONLY BALLCRUSHER
who made me FEEL like a MAN. For THAT, if nothing else, I am grateful
to her. After all, she WAS the BEST I ever experienced in all my life.
Sad end, yes. But, HONEST enjoyment? Most DEFINITELY! Did she USE me?
Yes! Did she ENJOY me? Yes! Did I enjoy her? Yes!

But then, did she DUMP me? Yes!

But then, did she DUMP me? Yes!

Final analysis: Believe NOTHING that SEEMS to be a dream come true.
Dreams do NOT come true, EVER. Dreams are mere fantasies that tickle
one's desires. Relationships are merely ENHANCED fantasies that have
hurdled the borders of your defenses.

But, defending yourself can be QUITE tiresome, so adopt this
philosophy, ENJOY what you can. This is what I do. My NEW philosophy
is simply to enjoy what is at hand for as long as it lasts.

Nothing pleasurable lasts as long as desired. Based on THIS, I depend
on NOTHING any woman can provide. She will merely deliver a temporary
pleasure based on a deceptively implied PERMANENT relationship. OK,
let her deceive me. My life will end within the next 15 years, so I
will accept her deception. I will pretend, as will she. My life will
end WITH or WITHOUT proof of her deception. Either way, I will have
enjoyed SOME pleasure with her. Honesty has no further play in this. I
refuse to toy around whether she is honest or not, whether she wants
an enduring relationship or not. I am a dead man steadily marching
against my will toward an open grave. This being the case, what we
BOTH wish means nothing. For me, what she PROJECTS and how she does it
is ALL that is important. If she deceives me until my death, she has
accomplished her task and made me happy.

I am SO TIRED of trying to determining TRUST. I am so TIRED of trying
to determine TRUE DESIRE. So, if a woman can CONVINCE me that such
trust exists and can maintain that deception until the day I die, she
will be my FONDEST memory thenceforth.

Henceforth, I trust NOTHING in what I ONCE believed to be a trusting
relationship. Such a thing exists ONLY in the minds of those who
CHOOSE to be deceived. I am NOT in that number, but IF you choose to
deceive me, at least have the grace to trash my life in a believable
deceive me, at least have the grace to trash my life in a believable
manner. Oh, you want a clue? Watch the weather reports for Southern
Mississippi. If you see something like a "Katrina Clone" approaching,
HEY, you are FREE and CLEAR. After all, I am presumed DEAD and you are
free to move on. What can be more freeing than THAT?

The poorly groomed sloppy looks just aren't attractive.

The big walrus ones with bald head, yuk.

I went out with a guy one time that had one of those. We ordered pizza. So as he ate it, the mozzerella strings and sauce started coating the dueling "squirrels" perching on his upper lip. So in between bites he would take the paper napkin and try to wipe the excess food off the fur. The cheese strings would intertwine and hang down, as if beckoning me to come and help detangle the mass of food and hair. Sooooooooo Hot!


NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like to feel skin against me, not prickly fur.

I've seen some I like a lot and looked totally approachable and kissable...and I have seen some that look like they are storing crumbs for a long cold winter. I think it, like almost everything, depends on the man and the level of maintainence and suitability of the individual. It wouldnt be a deal breaker for me if I was totally into him, unless there were hygiene issues. Then big YUCK!! I'm sure guys feel the same way about any lack of maintainence on our part. It goes both ways.

Wow Starrgazer, that was some rant, complete with wine and cheese!
For someone who has had the opening line,"I am a dominant man. If this offends you, then please look elsewhere", (and talk about the Lifestyle), on his profile for a very long time.. you sure have not had much success in being so, it seems.

My thoughts on hairy lipped men? I give a thumbs up.
My thoughts on non hairy lipped men? ditto

While I'm not wild about mustaches alone, I think that a beard and mustache together is very attractive on a lot of men. And as far as kissing goes, beard and mustache hair can actually be much softer than the stubble of someone who shaves every day.

Obviously if the man doesn't bathe, that's a whole different story though ... and in that case the presence or lack of facial hair wouldn't be the issue!

For some women, that would take a whole lot of wax, and please please I beg you, do not just stop at the stache ladies...

I've encountered plenty that could use a full body dip! All I hear when they where talking was the growling sound that Chewbacca made!:Han Solo icon:
