As a lifelong ugly guy, I'd never been randomly complimented on anything about my appearance until I grew a beard. Now I'd say I get at least one or two complete strangers a month specifically coming up to me to compliment my beard. It was weird and unsettling at first, but now it's nice to get a random compliment now and then.

early 20s, I did the mustache only, and it was gross. I hate looking at the pics. looks like a Dirty Sanchez.
mid 20s, did the Van Dyke look, mustache connected to goatee. it worked for me for a while, when my face looked more youthful.
briefly in 2010 I had to wear a mustache only again as I was playing Rooster in a bizarre theatrical mashup of Annie and Sweeney Todd. I looked more like a 70s cop than a gangster but w/e.
somewhere in the early 2010s , outside of that, I started wearing a beard with no mustache and I like that a lot better.
right now I look like Ted Kaczynski

I like mustaches on young guys, they only can pull it off

currently rocking the full Selleck, and feel that this is viable for a middle-aged man - in some ways i feel my most completely middle-aged self when mo’d up

I have on occasion grown a beard, and have tried shaving it all off apart from the moustache, it does not suit me at all, and after a minute or two I invariably get rid of it too.
