Why do so many Pakistani men choose to have mustaches? All my uncles have mustaches and so does my dad. Abroad, if you see a desi man with a mustache he is mostly likely to be Pakistani. WHY?

Coldturkey


To keep their upper lip warm?
To hide their horrendous teeth?
To catch some food whilst they're eating, so they have a snack on their moonchein, for later?

I think it's predominantly seen as a sign of masculinity....

Its not so much particular to Pakistani men. Many nations and cultures have different styles of mustache. It's an individual's preference.







Impress me..with your intelligence and wit. :-)

I have noticed the following people have mustaches:

- Pakistanis
- Indians, especially South Indian. Even their actors have big mustaches.
- Mexicans.
- Lower class white people in US.
- Americans who still think it's the 70's.

Moustaches are UGLY.

My brother in law has one, my wife and I are planning on shaving it if he sleeps over.

It's such a shame, Pakistanis are the most handsomest people in the world but they spoil it by growing moustaches and long greasy hair. Not good for our country's image.

Well u Dubai Pakis are very freshyfied anyway.

I think the only Pakis who have some sense of style are Brit Pakis, Hong Kong Pakis and some American Pakis.
