It didn't take me long before classmates either began saying unflattering things about me, or friends asked me- confused, trying to be helpful, or both- why I wanted to look like a pedophile. I had no idea about the latter connotation until I decided to grow one in college the rest of my face was still too patchy for a full beard and it seemed like a good way to create a "new me" and look more "manly." This was 2005, and the only other time I'd had the 'stache was when it first grew in high school a few years before, when there was nothing more associated with a mustache than "oh, dude, you can grow a mustache!" Somehow, at some point, popular perception of the mustache split into two groups: The Tom Selleck 'Stache, and what was known at least in Texas circa the early 2000s as "the molester mustache." (The latter is, apparently, not an isolated term I won't create any links here but Googling the phrase will give you more results than you care to get).
