Girl with mustache

Posted on May 20, 2012, 10:32 pm, F spotting F (Student Center). 69 comments. MIT

I saw you... girlfriend with some facial hair. You came to me complaining about why no guy asks you out, yet I've told you how to help fix that and you say it's not a problem. Seriously: wax it!!!

  1. yeah, I know a couple girls who could really stand to get their lip waxed.

  2. So you're calling her out on a public forum? What the hell is wrong with you?

  3. Wow you're shallow.

  4. I'd just like to say that, as a man, I would prefer my girlfriend not to have a mustache.

  5. I would like to second 4. It may be shallow but I sure as hell don't want to feel like I'm making out with a dude. People need to look in the mirror more, jesus.

  6. @5: Hello. May I ask, is making out with a dude uncomfortable?

  7. @6 no shit

  8. Why is there such a focus in our society about girls being perfect and hairless with spotless, radiant skin and photoshopped features because they spend an hour in the morning doing makeup?

    Why do you support that stereotype? Why do you not allow for different types and different builds of girls to be acceptable? Some girls genetically have hair, some have no hair. Some are fatter by nature, some stick thin. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that it isn't effective to try to fit them all into the same, hairless, super-thin, model mold, no matter what they look like on the inside.

    All guys aren't required to fit in the same mold. We don't say that only guys without facial hair who weigh 165 lbs and are 6' are attractive. Society finds many different types of guys attractive - guys with different faces and different builds.

    Stop and think about the kinds of expectations you're forcing on people. What do you think causes all those cases of anorexia? Why do you think women, in general, lack confidence? It's because you're always telling them that no matter what they are, they aren't good enough.

  9. @8 no one said she must fit all the stereotypes. Discussing a single feature is not condemning to perfection. There were no demands for flawless skin or a flat stomach with 32C's or any other model mold feature. You are right, but your comment does not apply to this situation.

  10. @8 there's a big difference between attractive and acceptable. No, if you don't shave your nose caterpillar, I won't find you attractive. I still, however, have to accept the fact that you choose to look like a pedophile with gender reassignment surgery. It works for you, it works for me, just don't expect any hot dates on Friday night.

  11. @8 As a girl I just think you're annoying. I spend hours at the gym every week because I want to look good FOR ME. Not for some guy, FOR ME. It's called SELF RESPECT. When I leave my room looking like a million bucks, I feel like a million bucks. I wear make-up every day because I LIKE HOW IT MAKES ME FEEL. Not because I want some guy to think I'm perfect. Taking an interest in appearance is a good thing. You'll find you have more self-confidence if you do. And notice the word... "self" confidence, not "other people" confidence.

  12. This whole discussion is like the story of the blind men trying to describe an elephant by touching different parts of it. Here's the big picture: people in general are perfectly entitled to refuse to conform to any particular societal standard of personal upkeep. These people should then be aware that this reduces the amount of other people who will find them attractive by the quantity of people who subscribe to that standard (and potentially increases said amount by another quantity of people who hate the standard).

    As long as no one's deluding him/herself, it then just comes down to roughly estimating what those two quantities are, what kinds of people are included in those quantities, and how personally important bucking that standard is relative to the importance of being found attractive. These estimates may take time to calibrate.

    Geez.

  13. @11 8 never said that girls only dress up or work out or look good for other people, just that society has unrealistic expectations. I actually don't at all see what you're getting defensive about.

  14. Looking good is being good. I appreciate girls who put at least some effort into looking good. Not too much though because that's fake and unattractive. You know, those plastic barbies who get boring after five minutes. And it doesn't really matter how you're built or what color your features are. As long as I think you actively try to look good, and youre acceptable by my personal standards that I believe to be reasonable, there's no need to fret. Im personally not into mustaches on women since that's very dude-like and unclean. I don't even have one since I shave often. Big is okay if you're working out and not letting yourself go, since as you may feel about guys, that's slobby. I'm also not into skinny girls who don't eat because they're not very practical or useful. They also tend to have complexes, which is silly. Sense of humor is almost required, and intelligence is key. Bitches (undeservedly entitled girls who aren't actually pretty) suck. Hard to explain really, but I think it works out.

  15. @8: Just as an informational note, anorexia is actually generally cause by lack of control in another area of one's life rather than by body image issues. Bulimia on the other hand would better fit for your argument.

  16. @15 bulimia is also very much related to feeling out of control in other areas, it's definitely not different than anorexia in that sense. they are both about body image and control, and often people suffer from a combination of both.

    >not very practical or useful
    >useful

    Wir müssen die Skinny Girls ausrotten!!! Seig Heil!

  18. @12 Marry me.

  19. 17, weird. I was getting at promoting the idea that eating enough and looking healthy are okay and preferred over fixating on looking thin for some ridiculous reasons and starving one's self in the process. It really isn't attractive to do that.

  20. @19 Anorexia/bulimia aren't caused by wanting to look thin. They're compulsive disorders that are caused by extreme anxiety. From what I've seen, that anxiety is not caused by a desired appearance, but rather by food and whether you can control what you put in your body. People aren't trying to be attractive, they're trying to be disciplined. The whole world doesn't revolve around what people think you want to see in a woman.

    It's a matter of trying to control what you eat so much that it begins to control you.

  21. I'm a hot guy so fuck all of you.

  22. I once had a girlfriend who had a little bit too much peach fuzz on her upper lip... I talked to her about it and she got very very angry. She also said that "there wasn't anything she wanted to do about it". We eventually broke up, not because of her moustache, but because her moustache was the only thing I thought about when I looked at/talked with her.

  23. Vineet! His hair is amazing

  24. VG = beast literally

  25. @23,24 where did that come from

  26. @20 The anxiety that causes anorexia/bulimia often stems from a desire to fit into a certain body shape, especially in teenaged girls. The *reason* why they want to control what they eat is because they are not happy with the effects of what they currently eat on their body.

    It often starts with dieting, and when the self-control fails in dieting, and when there is other anxiety caused by social pressures (including the anxiety of not looking a certain way), the slip of self-control can turn into anorexia or bulimia.

    You can say all you want that anorexia and bulimia are not caused by social perceptions of girls, but the root cause and the root social pressures are still there.

  27. #uglygirlproblems

  28. Wow @27 you have no respect for women. You're probably fat as fuck you Asian supremacist.

  29. @22, I can't say I blame you. I'm not going to say that women need to look or act a certain way at all. I think in general people should do whatever makes them most comfortable.

    What I am going to say that if you're a girl, and you've got a bit of a 'stache, it's unlikely that I'll be romantically interested in you (read: 0% chance). That's just me personally though.

  30. I mustache you a question.

    >inb4 shitstorm

  32. @28
    What the fuck, where did race enter the question, you racist, fat, ugly fuck.

  33. Keep this PG maybe? Just a thought. Racists don't deserve attention since they're senseless. Sexists similarly don't deserve attention, since they're also senseless. Ignore fools and seek the truth.

  34. @8
    I'm at 6'1, 165lbs, with visible six pack and aesthetic face, but I have great trouble getting into a stable relationship. It's sad that no good girls exist.
    Also, since my facial hair is not strong, it makes me feel very feminine that some women have stronger mustaches than me and instantly turn me off. Seriously, it's not easy being a good looking man. Too many lusty gold diggers who try to take advantage of my nice guy nature and screw me over. And with gay guys hitting on me all the time, sometimes I just want to commit suicide.

  35. @34
    maybe you have trouble getting into a stable relationship because you're 20lbs underweight.

  36. @28

    Come at me. Got my harpoons ready, you racist whale. I'd call you Moby Dick if you had one. You only wish you can get some of this lean, symmetrical, vascular cawk the size of your forearm.

  37. @35

    But I don't look underweight. I only do chest and bis, so girls still tell me I look huge. I don't train legs cause that would make my cock looks smaller in comparison.

    -34

  38. @37 Sorry, dude, but there's nothing in the world that'll make your puny pecker a proper size. Hey, at least you can scissor ladies to get each other off.

  39. @38, hey hey, cut @37 some slack. he apparently believes that a guy's chest size is negatively correlated with his penis size and is therefore overcompensating. nothing wrong with that.

  40. I have a huge penis.

  41. @38
    Not true, that's why I support stem cell research.
    brb getting some gene therapy and double my pen0r size.

  42. 6'2", 170lbs, and some facial hair. Thank you, @8, for boosting my self esteem.

    Also, second @21, @27, @40.

  43. @8, @13.

    Go to the gym. Get out of your rooms and go to the gym. Getting fit is not hard, but it is when you spend all your time cooped up in your room complaining on the internet about how "society" has unreasonable expectations.

  44. fuck all you haters.

    attn: cute girl with mustache. I don't mind, chat me up sometime ; )

  45. @girl with mustache: don't mind the haters. :) if you don't want to do anything about it, then don't. you'll eventually find some guy who likes you for who you are.

    sidenote: does anyone else here have a problem with makeup? i find the whole idea pretty stupid, and i feel like most people look better without it anyways.

  46. @44 can't get any men so he's going to the next best thing: bearded ladies

  47. @34:

    Maybe you took the relationship a bit too fast? I think a stable relationship takes a while to develop in the first place.

    --
    This question is away from the topic. But what's a good way to get to know guys outside of your circle? I'm a junior now and I finally have the desire to have a relationship. I realized it seems a bit too late at this point to get to know new people. I don't really have time to join new clubs and I don't think frat parties allow me to really get to know a person. And dating websites always seem a bit sketchy to me. Any suggestions?

  48. Look, I'm pretty sure a mustache is not going to prevent someone from being in a relationship. That's like saying people with bad acne never have relationships, when that's patently untrue.

    It's a lot easier to blame lack of romantic interest on shallow things like appearance, but anyone who actually is interested will learn to accept those things pretty quickly. Yeah, maybe people won't approach you if you have a mustache, but you *can* date people you're friends with.

    @8, I think most body hair is kinda gross on most people. ...brb, gonna make my boyfriend shave his pits

  49. @ 46 cool story bro, still have eaten Nth more pussies than you and have gotten guys so put that in your pipe and smoke it, homophool

    @45 < see she knows whats up

    -44

  50. 49,
    Bet you really haven't, maybe fat chicks with lots of hair,but nice try to sound totally cool on the Internet bro. Have fun with your hairy women.

  51. I don't mind light wouldn't-really-know-it's-there peach fuzz, but a dark mustache would totally turn me off. Even for guys, I don't really like facial hair.

  52. 36, 38, 49, 50, and others in that vein: no one reading this would have any respect left for MIT students. You're at a school that's supposed to have some of the smartest kids in the world -too bad in your cases it didn't come coupled with any sort of maturity or social propriety.

  53. @47 Direct reply to someone on ISawYou. If that doesn't work, try asking guys in your circles about guys in their other circles...Frat parties might not work, but they might know guys you'd like in their frat or hall, or club, or classes, etcetera.

  54. @52, its girls with mustaches and people like you who tell them its okay who make MIT look bad.

    You're the ones who perpetuate the stereotype of MIT students being ugly socially incompetent shut ins.

  55. @52 - u mad bro? How do you know those comments were posted by MIT kids?

    >no one reading this would have any respect left for MIT students
    >implying MIT students are respected.

    Some ego you have! (Assuming you are an MIT kid)

  56. I'm a girl who has a mustache (albeit not an incredibly dark or thick one, but I am also really pale so it is somewhat noticeable) and I have a boyfriend. I do wax it on a semi-regular basis, but my boyfriend is aware of the fact that I have one, and it's never bothered him...

  57. -Never- bothered might be a stretch, but sure.

  58. @ 50
    getting laid is getting laid. so that kid is definitely having fun.

  59. @52 Why so serious?

  60. Somebody's jimmies are rustled... good luck surviving teh internetz 52

  61. She probably wants a boy to shave it for her.

  62. @12 +1. you are so right.

  63. @12 1. you are so right.

  64. @12 1 you are so right.

  65. BOOOONNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

  66. @30 but ill shave it for later!!

  67. Really appreciate you sharing this post.Thanks Again. Really Great. dadcedgedgce

  68. @54 +1. I can't stand the way MIT women take offence to taking basic care of themselves. Personal hygiene and generally taking care of oneself shouldn't be considered optional. Why is it that it's seen as acceptable to walk around barefoot, unshowered, smelling bad, with unbrushed hair,in clothes that don't fit in a body that you've let go.

    You can be rising against societies standards all you want but there's a reason they became the standard. Good luck with life when you leave MIT and have to start acting like a real person.

  69. @47 - Being a junior shouldn't stop you from joining new groups :)

    @70 - You seem to confuse some hygiene items (ie showering) with looking good (ie shaving a mustache). Let's not perpetuate tired societal standards in need of change.
