I happen to like the look of a well kept mustache on a man. Some men can wear beards and some can't.
My son has one of those sprout beards right under his lower lip that the article refers to as the surfer beard. While I'd prefer he shave it off, it's so small I don't notice it anymore. He doesn't have a mustache and has never grown one. It would be interesting to see what he looked like with one now that I think of it.
I quite like the look of a well tended goatee, but only if the man in question can grow a proper beard not if it's a straggly collection of hairs masquerading as a beard
