My two roommates and I recently started growing mustaches in preparation for a horseback trip in New Mexico at the end of June. While this is the second time for myself, they happen to be mustache virgins. Their constant remindings of how people "give them the look" without saying anything are merely reminiscent of my manly undertaking about two years ago at the square. Nevertheless, with this renewing endeavor I couldn't help but become aware (with agreement from them) of the following downsides:
1) Unless you are over thirty years old, growing a mustache now-a-days not only isn't in style, but most people will consider your decision socially unacceptable.
2) It puts like 5 years on you.
3) If you already have a girlfriend/wife you can usually grow a mustache. If you already have a mustache you can't get a girlfriend let alone get married.
4) There a two kinds of people, those that look at it and comment, and those that look at it, don't comment, and probably think you're some crazy guy. (bums usually have mustaches)
5) Chicks are instinctively attracted to mustaches, requiring you to have to fight them off literally.
In conclusion, despite bearing the cross of the one week mustache, the end result after about a month is something beautiful---and having a mustache is probably the manliest thing a man can do, and it totally rocks. Just think of all the great guys that had them:
