What is it with mustaches? Different mustaches conjure different thoughts and judgments about the man who wears it. Since I’ve grown mine I’ve been told I look like a child molester and a cop. I’ve been told I look mean. My female roommate loathes it but some girls fancy it. There was even a study that proves girls like some sort of growth on a man’s face.

I grew it as joke, but it began to grow on me. Now I’m curious to see how it’s going to take shape. I learned you need to wax it if you want to tame it, so I ordered some Oregon Wild Hair Mustache Wax. The ends are just now long enough to attain a faint twirl.

Since I’ve grown my mustache, I’ve heard two anecdotes about mustaches from guys my age. One was a warning. He said, “Be careful. My dad grew a mustache in the 70’s and he’s had it ever since. My mom’s never seen him without it.” The other was a hypothesis. The guy who I was talking with hypothesized with his friends that not having a mustache is a form if contraception (since his dad and his friends’ dads have mustaches). In other words, if you have a mustache, you’re more likely to become a dad. Not too sure believe that one.
