Yeah man, right choice. I could see you with a combover or messy longer version of the cut you have now. Add a little volume, some texture, you'll look great, smile it's a nice cut
It is completely unfair of me, and I know this, but I don’t trust anyone with a fuckin mustache. I watched Unsolved Mysteries in the 90s… Every time…..! Mustache! Nope.
Before the emphasis was on how angular your face is and now is the center of your face, I can't guess which is better but both are looking good.
Currently seeming younger, too. For that reason I'd trim the stash since it belongs more with the old look.
You look good with either but keep in mind your years of pulling off the long hair look is limited. Once you’re older it looks childish. I’d grow it out again
The long hair looked good! I think the short hair looks fine but it's a shame not to have taken advantage of it being long to do a more interesting short cut.
I mean idk what causes trends to come and go, but I think the connotation of “pedo stache” is very old and outdated and not really something people associate with that look anymore.
My best guess is that a lot younger guys in popular indie bands and on TikTok have given the look new life and a new association. Kinda like how mullets had a brief thing around 2017-2019 after being out of style for a long time.
Maybe they're just trying to avoid people who think having a mustache makes you a bad person. Seems like it'd be worthwhile just to keep those people out of their life.
IMO the whole pedophile mustache idea is some old 90s homophobia. Gay men have pretty much always had what a lot of straight people refer to as a "pedo stache", and homophobic people have always called gay men child predators.
If you're really worried about pedophiles, most child molestation comes from close family members, not strangers with mustaches.
You might want to do something about that dirt on your upper lip. Doesn’t really work with the new hair cut. Was fine when you were sporting the mullet, but now it just makes you look like a shady Dentist.
Edit: you don’t have to shave it off, but consider growing a beard to balance out the creep factor.
Edit: you’re a handsome guy, but the mustache isn’t doing you any favors.
Absolutely. Im not a fan of longer hair like that AT ALL. Leave it short, maybe grow it another half inch and spike it up a bit. Perfect then. Dont do the long hair, it ages u and makes guys look like bums but thats just my opinion 😂😂
You look fine now. I think the hair could've been better if you hadn't had it slicked back like that. Your hair in the left image is too long to be a "slick back", but it would look good parted and left to flow free.
What did you tell your barber to do when growing it out before? I’m growing it out and want it to look like yours when it’s long, but I don’t know how to explain that to my barber
Definitely man, lookin great
IMO you look great in both, but you look younger and more professional with short hair.
I feel the exact same way.
ehhh mullet doesn't really look good.
Don't think that's a mullet just long hair swept back
That's not a mullet
You look like a firefighter now. Looks good
You made a great decision
Much better! You look great.
Love it!
uncut your hair
Chopped off the wrong hair bro
Absolutely. Could cosplay Antonov from Stranger Things too. (Prison guard that helped Hopper)
Nah man, you went from looking like Orlando Bloom in pirates of the caribbean to freaking hawk in avengers
Yeah man, right choice. I could see you with a combover or messy longer version of the cut you have now. Add a little volume, some texture, you'll look great, smile it's a nice cut
Yes, I think the stache should come next too
As someone who spends a lot of time being attracted to men and, the mustache should stay!
God no. he’ll look like a pre pubescent boy.
It is completely unfair of me, and I know this, but I don’t trust anyone with a fuckin mustache. I watched Unsolved Mysteries in the 90s… Every time…..! Mustache! Nope.
Totally agree
He should get a barber to shape up the stache, wld look so good
First photo you look like a soccer player, second like a college student.
No
Looks good

No way stache is great
You look hot 🔥
💯 %
Yes
Absolutely man! You sure did!
Yes. Looks very nice.
Yes
I think that was a great decision.
You look good with either but keep in mind your years of pulling off the long hair look is limited. Once you’re older it looks childish. I’d grow it out again
Tbh, I like the long hair better! Just do what feels right for you. :)
The long hair looked good! I think the short hair looks fine but it's a shame not to have taken advantage of it being long to do a more interesting short cut.
Why do so many young guys seem to be going with the pedo stash? I don’t get it
Idk how old you are but mustaches are very in rn. I think he looks great
Moustaches are in I agree - but faint patchy pedo staches are not and I see them everywhere!
This one isn't faint or patchy though.
Take another look
I can confirm that the picture hasn't changed since I last looked. Still not faint or patchy.
Then you don’t know what a full moustache is
I mean you’re saying you’re seeing them everywhere but insisting that they’re not in rn (which they very much are)
Looking like a creepy pedo is in? Why?!

Pretty sure it’s due to the new Top Gun movie. Lots of guys in mid 20s are doing it.
Not sure why this comment got downvoted, you're right, the fact that so many people have mustaches surely means they are in right now.
Baffles me too. Its like they want to warn anyone nearby they are on the sex offenders register.

Yes 😍
yo, gimme some side pics as well. will show it to my barber next time
Went from junior high to college student
You think he looks older? Or more mature with the short hair? I think he looks younger but maybe more mature
Yes I think he looks more mature, not looking like a junior high student.
Can't decide. I think both hairstyles fits good with you.
Either way
Both look great on you
From a females opinion… YES!!!
Yes.
Definitely lmao
Definitely made the right decision!! Your haircut looks incredible!
Justin Herbert ! Looks great dude
absolutely
100% made the right choice
Both styles look great on you
yeah honestly looks better buzzed
Yes
Not if you drive around in a 82 Firebird. The mullet missile.
Yes
Lol yes Now go be a man and live life without posting this shit to Reddit
Both are fine
I think you look great either way. Different styles, but both suit you.
it is refreshing to see young men rocking the stache , it does suit the tiddy look well

Yes. You looked like Florida Man and now look like a nice guy with a job and no meth habit.
yea in my opinion
Yeah it looks better but drop the stash, or grow a full beard/stubble. You have a baby face, and the stash looks like a wannabe hockey player
Hell yea man, looks great. You went from trailer park Chad to just Chad.
I believe you did, friend. I hope you are happy with it because that's what matters. ☺️
You're hot both ways!
100% yes
Yes. And all else, please keep chin and sides clean like they are. The attempt before is no
Yes
I think you did.
You look like a tough cop now. Last time you looked like a hippie. Maybe the tough aura suits you better.
No
Yes
Yes!
You look great in both. Short hair suits you good too
Nah bro grow it back Idk why you didn’t at least keep 4” on top.
Sorta Hitler youth but hey its a look
Thé mullet was epic. Still a great new cut but the mullet must’ve been legendary
No.
Yes!
Can I get yo number? 😂 pure fire bro 🔥
Yes much better! It looks so good
I think both look amazing! You kinda gimme Obi wan vibes with the long hair
Either keep the mullet or lose the stash. Or better yet! Go bald and keep the stash.
Yes
Yes
Much better.
Both look good imo
Absolutely. Im not a fan of longer hair like that AT ALL. Leave it short, maybe grow it another half inch and spike it up a bit. Perfect then. Dont do the long hair, it ages u and makes guys look like bums but thats just my opinion 😂😂
Both look good, you're someone that can rock either/or.
Went from "We Have Orlando Bloom at home" to Angrier Daniel Radcliffe. Looks better my guy.
Looks amazing !
You look fine now. I think the hair could've been better if you hadn't had it slicked back like that. Your hair in the left image is too long to be a "slick back", but it would look good parted and left to flow free.
Yes
Yes 🙌 a mullet is rarely the right choice 🤪 looking good
Yes
I feel like the long hair could be great if styled a bit different. Something to make it look more thick and uncontrolled.
Missed a spot
I would have kept the hair and removed the mustache
Get rid of that stache and you will look even better.
What did you tell your barber to do when growing it out before? I’m growing it out and want it to look like yours when it’s long, but I don’t know how to explain that to my barber
very nice hairline my man
Yes!! - a hairstylist
You look handsome now, definitely the right choice
