Yes or no on regrowing my mustache?

  1. Yes, get it back! It hides at least some of your face.

  2. Leave it off. Doesn't look any worse without it.

    I had a stupid accident with a mustache trimmer and wrecked my mustache. Ended up shaving the whole darned thing off, for the first time in about 20 years.

    Now I've gotten used to seeing that in the mirror every day, but while my hair has stayed mostly brown, my beard has gone mostly grey, and I think it may be time to lose the mustache, as I think I look younger without it. Not necessarily better (that would take skilled surgery), but younger at least.

    So what do you think? Regrow the mustache or leave it off?

    (NOTE: I take no responsibility for whatever the professional photochoppers may do to these.)

    First pic was taken at Eric Clayton's concert in Jackson MS a few months ago (most recent I have prior to tonight).

    Grow it back in my opinion.

    But sometimes change can be good.

    Whatever makes YOU happy.

    Where's the pic of you without it G.T.? I can't vote without seeing the "after" shot.
    But you are just so darn cute anyway :D

    My husband shaved his mustache off after having it since he was a teen and I had never seen him without it, he looked ten years younger....so... :)

    Oh there it is.

    Keep it off.;)

    Grow it back, but this time you should grow a goatee along with it.

    btw, killer shades. I used to have some just like those, but they broke when I sat on them. Go figure. =/

    LOL. Those aren't shades, they're my standard Hubbel-focus glasses. Flash photography does weird things to them.

    Hm. Mustache and goatee, both grey. Mephistophiles maybe?

    I don't don't know which version I prefer. I'm used to seeing you with a 'stache, but you do look okay without it too.

    Maybe leave it off for a while, and see how it goes. :confused:

    Well, I like a mustache. I say grow it back. But that is my on opinion. Do what you like (or what your wife tells you to do).

    I shaved mine off awhile back...told the wife one year, no more. I'm getting used to being ugly this way though rather than with it so will probably leave it off.:eek:

    i think you look very handsome both ways. shaving is a drag so I'm told but if you already shave your face, whats the difference....so keep it off. PS. there IS NO looking 'younger'. even surgery IMO doesn't make people look younger...just weird in their skin. much aloha

    Leave the mustache off and see you can go for smaller size glasses (in height that is) - prescription permitting. :)

    Think I saw you with one, (seeing things again). You look good both ways.
    Have one in cold season, shave it off in warm/hot season........... ;)
     
  22. ArchAngel

    I tried growing one 20 years ago. Didn't like it. Too much maintenance for a lazy guy like me. My wife doesn't want me to grow one, which is good.

    Anyway, keep it off. Unless you like saving food for later.:)
    While you're at it, you should cut your hair shorter. Then you can towel dry it, and you won't have to comb it.

    Speaking of hair cuts, I need to cut mine this morning. It's really easy using a clipper. And when you don't care how short it is, you can't screw up.:D

    complete makeover ideas

    You're getting some "complete makeover" ideas, hope you don't mind. :p

    I think guys who have grayer beards, mustaches, than the rest of their hair always look older so -- you do look younger without the mustache.

    Yes, of course, do what makes you "happy" -- and shaving can be a pain (my man tells me, anyway) but (I think) you DO look younger and happier without that heavy, gray mustache on your lip. :)

    (I kind of agree with the shorter haircut idea too. You can't go wrong with shorter hair. True for pretty much everyone - even females as they get older too)

    The shorter hair is just a matter of time. It's been about 2 months since last haircut; I'm overdue now. Although I've never been fond of REAL short, but that's just me. My hair is naturally straight as a ruler. Either it's got to be crew-cut short, or it's got to be long enough to comb down & stay there, and I don't like the crew-cuts, so somewhere in between generally.

    Complete makeover would require a skilled surgeon.... I not THAT vain. :D

    My glasses aren't that large, and I need what's there for the bifocal thing, although I've got the progressive lenses that don't look like split lenses. It's not that they're big, they just make my eyes look small. That's the prescription, darn it, although they look worse in pictures than in real life... a little bit... I hate em. ;)

    My husbands prescription is like that too GT, but we were able to get him glasses that were way smaller, he was surprised and I was happy. Go see, won't cost anything to look :)
    I thought he looked great with the new specs and then his mum sees him and says "Aren't they a bit small?"
    No mustache = younger looking
    Smaller specs = younger looking, wow, you are going to look grrrrrr eat :D

    Leave it off and see if you have more offers :D :p
    Then if your not happy with the results, let it grow back. :)

    Looks fine either way. I prefer a mustache because I hate shaving, and my wife had a cow when I accidentally shaved it off - she had never seen me without one - and told me I had no lips :rolleyes:

    The moustache looked just fine. It was neatly trimmed. Some men aren't as well groomed and their moustache looks like an asphalt broom. It makes them look like a charicature of Sven the Swedish Janitor.
    Also, untrimmed moustaches turn beverage cans into plucking devices. You take a sip and "DOINK". OUCH!

    I ate everything except brussels sprouts. Those are evil. Needed glasses in 1st grade, finally got them in 3rd, and for several years they got bad so fast I had to get new prescriptions about every 6 months. About broke my parents keeping me in glasses.
     
  41. lostkiwi

    lostkiwi MajorGeek

    Wel that's your problem, right there! Everyone knows that Brussel Sprouts are the magic eye vegetable. It's simple
    Look how many people wear glasses
    &
    Look how many people hate brussel sprouts.
    Sooo, if you don't eat brussel sprouts you need glasses :D
    Coincidence? I think not :p

    Actually, I thought that was pretty clever :p and it looked scientific!
    And can you prove otherwise? Hmmm.
    Damn straight, thought not :p

    The same could be said about mincemeat,, or holiday fruitcake. Hey,, lets all eat lousy stuff everyday,, and we'll never need glasses,, or hearing aids,, or rowing machines,, :cool:
