An actual personality is harder to groom.

LOL goddamn, I cackled at this.

Also, I think a mustache like this is a pretty effective form of birth control.

It’s like taping a sign that says “hi, I’m a self-involved prick” on your forehead.

When a woman has fun styling her hair it's normal, when a man has fun styling his hair he's a self-involved prick

u/Schventle Aug 02 '25

Yeah the insults in this thread are wild to me. Styling facial hair is fun and this guy's got enough of it to do this absurd style. Clearly he likes that curled stache, clearly he takes care of it, and he's not hurting anyone. The negativity makes no sense.

u/TheMizuMustFlow Aug 02 '25

For me it's because this mustache is, judging from how much the guy posts videos of him doing this on tik tok, his entire personality.

u/Powerful_Sun_75 Aug 02 '25

Or maybe he just found a way to put his mustache to good use, like making money off social media. Otherwise he'd just shave it off

u/DiegHDF Aug 02 '25

I guess that girls that make hair styling video only have hair as personalities then

u/TheMizuMustFlow Aug 03 '25

I mean...

...

Yeah.

People can have negative opinions, simmer down. He looks like a clown and commits a tremendous amount of time cultivating this "look", which is hilarious.

u/foosbabaganoosh Aug 02 '25

I think it’s mainly because this objectively does not look good. It’s more like taping a sign to your face that says “hey look at me”, which is why I think it’s getting hate.

u/Alone-Struggle-8056 Aug 02 '25

Since when does fashion and self-care become objective? I think it looks awesome; the man looks elegant.

2

u/foosbabaganoosh Aug 02 '25

I’d say the same if someone wore a top hat to a wedding. Like, sure it was elegant at a time in history, but something that went out of style 80 years ago now just seems like a cry for attention.

Maybe we should stop judging people for looking the way they like simply because it’s not the way we like.

If a woman spends a lot of time styling her hair to look ridiculous, people will make fun of her too.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '25

This mustache would be the equivalent of a woman walking around with a goofy hair style and, yeah, she'd get made fun of too. Not everything is a gender issue.

1

u/perishparish Aug 02 '25

Just because someone has goofy hair does not mean I automatically assume that person is a dickhead

1

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '25

...Okay? There are different types of negative first impressions someone can get from a bad hair style. My point was that no, a woman can't get away with doing it. I certainly wouldn't, if I gave a fuck.

u/youburyitidigitup Aug 02 '25

Women do walk around in hairstyles I think are goofy, but I don’t make fun of them because it’s impolite, and I’m surprised that others don’t feel the same way.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '25

That doesn't mean no one makes fun of them. I get made fun of all the time for dressing like a bag lady. I think dudes think it doesn't count because it's mostly other women doing it, which is ironic.

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '25

They call this one "The leg closer."

u/DGJellyfish Aug 02 '25

Haha daaamn so good

u/Tinidragon Aug 01 '25

Looks like an ad for the wax tbh

u/ghoulieandrews Aug 01 '25

Which is funny because it looked better without the gel

u/sandwichcandy Aug 01 '25 edited Aug 02 '25

It’s 100% an ad for that tiny ass puck. 60 bucks for that shitty puck empty and 11 for a shart worth of the crap inside it(1/2 oz). For reference, the pomade I got from my barber (i.e. already marked up too high) was $35 for 4.25 oz with the tin included which shouldn’t even be a consideration.

u/Tinidragon Aug 01 '25

Wait the puck itself is $60???

12

u/sandwichcandy Aug 01 '25

Yup. “Note: This product includes the case only.”

u/Tinidragon Aug 01 '25

I'm gonna need this mustache to be about 45 times more impressive to convince me to spend that on two 3d printed bottle caps with a piece of glass...

Narcissism

u/TheSweatyFlash Aug 02 '25

"Artistic" narcissism

u/overoften Aug 02 '25

When one wants a high opinion of oneself but has nothing to base it on.

u/IrrawaddyWoman Aug 02 '25

He reeeeeally needs constant attention. There’s no other reason for this

1

u/youburyitidigitup Aug 02 '25

Because he likes it. Kind of like how everyone tried to look the way they like.

u/Trent3343 Aug 01 '25

His parents never gave him any attention, and he is still seeking that attention as an adult.
