Hi MyLotters, I didn't have mustache before until I've joined as a lecturer.My friends used to say that I don't look like a grown up man..After getting a job of a lecturer,I thought that my student should not think me as their friends and say something that may turn out to hurt my dignity as a lecturer.Hence,I let my mustache to grow and now I've mustache.In my lectures students stay attentive and very careful what I say.Is it the effect of the mustache?Or it's my personality as a lecturer that makes the students so serious?Or is it the my depth over the subject that I teach that makes the students not to poke me? Would you please explain,dear friends?How their behavior goes to the contrary of my friend's opinion?Please,keep in my that my friends started laughing at the mustache!! Thanks Happy MyLotting!!

A moustache has always been considered in our country as a symbol of masculinity and not to have one is considered a blot.that is why one sees that most people keep a moustache.It also adds character to ones face and makes one look older.If oes spouse is just a couple of years younger then it is better to keep a moustache since women generally look older than their husbands in a few years time and especially after a delivery.In your case maybe the moustache has created some trepidation amogst your students but it could also be that you are a good lecturer that has made your students to be more attentive and also give you respect.Of course it is not the rule that a moustache commands respect as i have come across many people without a moustache who commanded respect. Examples are Jawaharlal Nehru, Dr S. Radhakrishnan, Rajiv Gandhi etc. Also have you seen any pictures of our Gods sportiing a moustache like Ram, Krishna, Vishnu,Shiva and so on?

It depends really upon the personality although mustache could have been change our face's look and eventually affects the impression of other people. As the question stated above, well it depends upon the belief upon the culture of the people or a person who will see our face unshaven. There are those people who admires it as a way of fashion or as a way of their culture, and there are those who look at it as untidy.Some people say that if you have a mustache then you look like a goat because a goat have mustache. Depending upon the culture, having a mustache is accepted or not accepted, different people have different views and impressions unto having it.

Yes, it does make a different. As they say, one's outlook does matter in life and having a mustache makes one more "harsh", firm and authoritative. At least, in term of perception by other people. I wouldn't dare to poke fun at someone whose face full of mustache and beard. He looks so serious, fearful and "strong" to me. Of course, most people would say that it is just perception but it does work on most of us. These people automatically earn the respect from others.

I don't think that it's all about your having a mustache why your students pay attention to you. You can gain that attention with the way you teach and discipline them. I don't usually care about the physical attributes of a person but I guess, as a lecturer/teacher, you have to be neat in every way. If I am a student, I will love to see my teacher neat. I am definite that your mustache do not have any effect on your job.

In general, I really don't like guy with mustache or beard, I like clean looking guy. It depends if it looks good in the guy or not. If you are baby face but not young anymore, mustache will make you a little mature but if your skin is dark then do not grow mustache or beard cause it will makes you look untidy. In your case, maybe you look mature and bad boy with your mustached so your students feel they should respect you as a lecturer.

maybe you just look authoritative with mustache,lets just put it that way. And your friends laughing at you with mustache maybe they are just not used to the look;) eventually they'll will.

Okay, woman in the discussion. Men, here is my opinion, and some women will agree with me on this, so pay attention. When you have a nice trimmed mustache and bread, women love it. It makes you look masculine and it adds to your manliness. Example of this, Joe Manganiello, the hot werewolf from "True Blood" carries it well. Women are hot and bothered over this guy because of how well he carries that mustache and bread. He just looks hot.

hi , i don't see any wrong in having a mustache. But i prefer people who have no mustache because they look neat without it. Anyway its your opinion whatever looks you happy and contented and believe in yourself. do not bother what others think of you. as long you have done no wrong.

Its not about the mustache. The image you portray comes from the personality and character you project when others listen to you. Try being a more intense lecturer and let your confidence project when you speak.

Yes mustache makes our personality strong.. i saw many peoples they always shaved their mustache.. but in villages you don't find any person who have no mustache.. I think some people think that mustache is the sign of their stronger.. but i don't like mustache.. i always like to clean shave.
