What is a comelier look for me?
Being unemployed does have its perks. And I’m not talking about being able to where adult onesie footed pajamas all day long. I can grow whatever facial hair I damn well please and there’s no one to tell me it’s unprofessional. Lately I’ve been back and forth on whether to go for “The Selleck” or “The Phoenix”.
Some of you may think that mustaches are only for cops and porn stars, but you’re wrong. In fact, they’re making a comeback, at least that’s what I keep telling my wife. No, it’s true, I saw it on Entertainment Tonight (or some other similar show that always accurately represents the truth). Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Colin Farrell have all been seen sporting a muzzy. Personally I think I look dead-sexy and secretly my wife knows it too.
Any Pogonologists out there? My friend, Wikipedia, states, “In the course of history, men with facial hair have been ascribed various attributes such as wisdom and knowledge, sexual virility, or high social status…” I agree with all those statements. Oh wait, there’s more, “…and, conversely, filthiness, crudeness, or an eccentric disposition.” Um, yeah, I think I agree with those ones too. Shoot! Grizzly Adams did have a beard.

Go with the ’stache. I mean look how well it has worked for me. Of course, yours will never be used quite as much as mine but it is still the better look.
I love the stache, for a time, but after a while it gets creepy. “I have a van with candy” creepy. I have tried it before. The beard is wonderful. Sexy. No shaving. I get compliments about mine all the time.
I still like the beard better even though you look like a serial killer in that picture.
Usually I go for beards over mustaches but out of the two pics I think I have to go with the mustache. Maybe it would be different in person though.
I’m going with the beard, mostly because you look like Hagar the Horrible with that mini-pitchfork thing in the picture. Nice touch.
I never understood the Selleck craze. We recently saw a rerun of Magnum PI and the man was practically wearing daisy dukes. Was that ever attractive? If you do go with the mustache, please, be judicious with the length of your shorts.
Where is option “C,” none of the above.
Really you look dashing either way.
I’m voting beard. As long as the little fork thing goes with it. It’s a powerful combo.
Mustaches may be making a comeback, but I feel they should be in the category of the jelly shoes, black leggins, purple eye shadow, and side ponytails- items that even if everyone tells you they are cool, just keep running the other way and stay with the”uncool” You won’t regret it.
After saying that, I will now try to be politically correct and tell you that I’m sure no matter what type of facial hair you wear, you’ll be able to pull it off and will look great.
Choose to make note of whatever comment suits you best.
I can’t believe this isn’t a mustache blowout!! “There’s no accounting taste” says my mother. But she doesn’t have a mustache either.
The stache is a good start but should be extended to the true fu manchu look…a whole lotta love.
I like the beard julia
Hey let’s keep it clean here. Anyone insulting Magnum PI will be dealt with harshly. I’ve patterned my life after that show. Free mustache rides for life!
[...] What is a comelier look for me? The mustache or the beard? Still a tight race on this one, but it looks like I would make a better serial killer than a porn star. 53% of you thinks so anyway. I couldn’t find shorts short enough to pull off the Magnum PI. As an update, the mustache is gone. The beard has triumphed. Thanks for indulging me on this one. [...]
