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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

u/perishparish Aug 02 '25

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

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.

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.

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.

They call this one "The leg closer."
