I recently went out with a dude with a beard (It’s a sensible, trimmed, full-beard/moustache combo. A good accessory for one of those corduroy jackets with elbow patches). I met him on the internet and based on the photos, I had a 50/50 chance of facial hair. For those of you who know me, this is a rarity. I’ve lucked out and for the most part I have dealt with minimal face fuzz (sideburns, goatee, 5 o’clock shadow). Would I stop going out with a guy because of facial hair decisions alone? Probably not. But if he were to go crazy and shave his beard into the porn stache, or trim the sensible beard into a chin beard… he may have to go.
In the meantime, I have a friend who’s woman WANTS him to grow some facial hair. I have no clue why. He is totally opposed to the idea. I think he has grown a ridiculous soul patch to appease her.
For those of you on the hunt for dudes with ’staches, Misprint magazine is hosting their 4th Annual Beard and Moustache Contest on February 19th at the Mohawk

Thank you for giving facial hair equal time in this post by mentioning the contest. I’m half tempted to go - not because I think I would win anything, but because I enjoy spectacle.
(Though I do have to mention that I met Mike Doughty tonight, and his comment to me was, “Hey man, sweet ’stache!” So that’s gotta count for something.)
