I know it’s for a fantastic cause and I am definitely not disputing that but MAN do I hate a moustache on a man. Sometimes they can look kinda cool, but really every time I see one I think three things:
1) Its essentially pubes on your face.
2) As soft as I have been assured that they are (often followed by having someone drag my hand through one) - I don't wanna kiss that and I don't want it kissing me. Anywhere.
3) It had its heyday. Moustaches should remain on very VERY hot men who can pull them off OR, preferably to the pages of history. Like this dude -
If I had a friend who could grow on like the one above, if I'm honest, I would be kinda impressed.
Asides from this. Movember raises money and awareness for a great cause. But it also gives guys the excuse to shave, EVEN LESS. Like most of them needed any more discouragement in that department.
I'm going out tonight so whilst having a shower earlier did the rituals that most girls undertake before a night out. I de-fluffed. After exiting the shower I felt about as hair free as a baby seal. But why? For a start, tonight I am going to a gay club with some of my fantastically camp friends who worship Ga-Ga and dance like Beyoncé. I am certainly not expecting anyone to be touching my legs, unless it’s to reach my shoes and exclaim how FABULOUS they are.
Most guys (excluding the new breed of Metrosexuals that have descended upon us), do not take this much care with their hair situation. A couple years ago I had to actually try to convince a good male friend of mine that I wasn't joking that most guys DID - much to his shock and discovery - 'take care' of themselves.
The amount of money and time and effort, not to mention, blood, sweat and tears that have gone into years of waxing and shaving is ridiculous. I started shaving around the age I went into Senior School, meaning for 10 years it has been a constant battle against the follicle.
But do guys care? For a start, from conversations I have had with friends of both genders, I can assure you that hair care for girls is way more expensive and time consuming than their male counterparts. Not surprising. But then from experience and further conversations it is shocking at how many guys think they can get away with not even the occasional trim. We notice. We don't hook up with you to get a tooth floss. Believe me. If a girlfriend of mine had been with a guy with an unsightly bush, I know about it. I know the tinyyy details about it.
Some of them even say they "can't be bothered" to shave their face. Not being funny, but most guys in their early 20s - unless they are the dark, handsome, rugged type - don't even have to shave daily. So STOP WHINING!
If I have to practically do advanced yoga every time I go to the waxing salon in front of some girl I've just met, you can fucking drag a razor over your face each morning.
The sad thing is, girls take care of themselves because - duh - they care. Which means they care what guys are also doing to combat the bush. Whereas most guys don't have too much preference on whether or not my bikini wax is a 'tidy up', ‘bikini’, 'G-string', 'Brazilian' or 'Hollywood', apparently that's not what their focus is on. Which seems to be reflected in their own personal hygiene.
Maybe girls put too much of an emphasis on this. Putting themselves under too much pressure in an age when porn is apparently dictating ALL of our sexual thoughts (that seems to be what the media would have us believe anyway). I dunno about you, but I don't really watch porn and if I did, I wouldn't base my bikini waxing habits on what some porn star had. Just like I wouldn't buy the outfits she'd be wearing...or not.
But anyway. Girls - guys don't care as much as you might think. So long as it’s not a total throwback to the 70s you are probably okay. And guys. While you are warming up that razor to get rid of your Movember moustache, it wouldn't hurt if your razor maybe had a bit of a wander.
Touche!!
