If you can grow a big thick bushy mustache, I SAY JUST DO IT!
Don't make a decision about that choice based on the lame opinions of those around you. Who cares what others think. They make disparaging assessment without any logical thought but instead pressure you to do something their way because of how some small aspect of society "Feels" about it. Resist I say, and grow that mustache long and thick. Unless of course you don't want to. Then don't. Societal pressure is a bad thing and must be resisted. Its what makes you feel good that counts. Unless the pressure comes from your wife. Then you better do what your told.
I grew my first mustache and beard senior year in high schoot. A little thin and fuzzy but workable. As I got older it thickened up and got darker. I ditched the beard and kept the mustache when I started applying for jobs. four years after high school. I accepted a job that required I look high school age so for 11 months I kept it off. That was the first and last time I did not have a mustache. That was 32 years ago.
Iv'e had a full beard or two over the years but my wife told me It made me look too much like my brother so it stays off now. She was never fond of my brother.
I was told early in my career that the reason cops keep mustaches is so they can play with it while talking to a suspect, thereby having the hands at the ready if the suspect decides to throw a punch. What say you Lieutenant Dangle?
Iv'e allowed my mustache get so long that I could pull it down to the bottom of my chin. And yes I have waxed it. It's kinda like a guy with thinning hair doing a comb over. Add a little wax, comb it to sides and Bam!, its three times thicker. Don't even try to tell me Tom Selleck doesn't wax. Beside wax keeps it out of my milk and keeps it from getting caught in a soda can pull tab. Ouch! No one has ever made a 1980s or porn star like comment to me about mine.
I'm not ashamed of my Mustache, and you shouldn't be either.
Some people just have to have a mustache. Take Sam Elliott. Thats the only way a mustache is supposed to be... unless of course its not for you. Then Its not. No pressure.

Mr Elliott's mustache is great. But have you seen him without it? He's got this long upper lip that comes to a point in the middle. He looks like a turtle. He's got to hide that lip. He'll probably hunt me down and beat me up now.
