I understand some of the issues that women have with a man's mustache, but I have to admit to keeping mine strictly out of vanity. I last shaved it off when I was in college and my upper lip looked so large that I decided to grow it right back. Forty years later, and I haven't had the nerve to shave it off again. It's always clean and I do keep it trimmed. Unfortunately, I have been told that sometimes the trimming makes it more irritating for a women, so I try to keep it out of the way when it may come into contact with an intimate area on a woman.

Mustaches will often catch food and coffee. I can see the attractiveness being a factor. Sam Elliot is HOT HOT HOT in my book and he sports one. (Sam Elliot is HOT HOT HOT. I will keep saying that until I cannot say it anymore! Damn. He is HOT!)
But there are few things more grotesque than kissing a man that has food stuck to his mustache. And sometimes, if they're longer, they will scratch the area around my lips.
Kissing is VERY important to me and I don't like to say no. And I try NOT to say no to a man. But dangling coffee, etc., from a mustache can cause me to feel slightly faint inside.
This is a rarity and lately, mustaches haven't been bothering me as much.
Just curious what others thought. I'm surprised that men will admit that they know women might find them to not be the best things in the world but they still have one.
Interesting!!!
