Nick Offerman

Mustaches can signify many different things: power, intimidation, mystery, and many other things as well. A good mustache can compare to almost nothing. It's a symbol of being a male and having the ability to grow a mustache and for many becomes a sign of pride and often becomes a signature of a man's being.

A good mustache is always cool to see and a surprising number of people appreciate a good mustache. Even if they don't necessarily think it looks really good on a person, they can still appreciate the discipline and dedication it takes to grow a good mustache. Many men have made the mustache a part of themselves, not just a facial hair growth.

Instead of just focusing on mustaches, I thought I'd pick a person who cannot live without a mustache. That person is Nick Offerman. Without it he looks completely different, much less intimidating, and like he could have just graduated from grad school. He looks so weird because of his role on NBC's "Parks & Recreation" as Ron Swanson. He has appeared only a few times on "Parks & Recreation" without a mustache and he looked like this:
                                                            
When he should look like this:
Maybe he looks more intense and intimidating because he's not smiling, but even when he does smile on the show, with his mustache he looks intimidating. But the things he says are just hilarious. And I think part of it is because of his mustache. It doesn't move an excessive amount while he talks and it covers his mouth, but it definitely works for him. His mustache has gained quite a following, but the man has been formed by the mustache and the mustache has been formed by the man. If you don't believe it check out the link below!


I hope my mustache can someday live up to the meticulously marvelous mustache that sits atop his upper lip. Incredible!
