ST. LOUIS, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- The American Mustache Institute, formed by three St. Louis men, says it wants to make mustaches a popular fashion statement once again.
The institute says on its Web site its goal is to create "a climate of acceptance, understanding, flavor saving and upper lip warmth for all mustached Americans alike," the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
St. Louis resident Aaron Perlut helped found the institute with Dan Callahan and Brian Cross after a conversation three years ago focused on resurrecting the popularity of the facial hair. The group released a study whose results indicate men with mustaches earn 4.3 percent more than their clean-shaven counterparts.
The institute holds an annual 'Stache Bash at which it officially crowns the year's winner of the Robert Goulet Mustached American of the Year award.
Perlut told the Post-Dispatch the institute's efforts are having an effect, citing the 80,000 mentions of mustaches by media outlets nationwide in the last three months.

moustache
I have had a "cookie duster" ever since I graduated from HS with one brief clean shaven period for 3 mos about 4 years ago. Didn't like how I looked without, so grew it back. Don't think I will cut it off again.

I have had a moustache for as long as I have had any thing to shave! I cut my lip on the first try, and decided then and there to never shave my upper lip again! I also wore a full beard (kept neatly trimmed) until my job forced me to shave it off.

I think this innuendo to sex, involving your facial hair, is disgusting. Facial hair can be attractive or unattractive, but leave your slimy, chauvinistic and unwelcome comments in your bedroom. Also, it isn't just "men in the sciences" that are likely to have facial hair. It can also range from teenage boys wanting to look more adult-like to old men hiding their wrinkles and double chin.

A slight reversal of the trend
towards removing ALL hair except the skull hair....
Men in the sciences are much more likely to have facial hair than the general population...maybe we're just enough smarter to realize that shaving is an unnecessary annoyance...besides, it adds a bit extra to sex---at least, my women have always asked me not to remove it.
