Remember all those pink ribbons and pink gear adorning NFL players last month? That was for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Definitely a great cause... But this month belongs to Prostate Cancer Awareness.
That means November has been officially re-dubbed
"Movember" and since this is an issue that strikes very close to home for me, we are all growing 'mos for the cause. That's right. Forget ribbons and those rubber bracelets. We are showing support for the fight by proudly wearing man-whiskers on our upper lips.
And when I say "we" I mean our friends at some of the best damn mens sites on the Intergoogles:
Asylum,
AskMen,
Men's Fitness,
Maxim,
The Chive,
Guyism,
Switched,
Fanhouse,
Noise Creep,
Asylum UK,
Urlesque,
Moondog Sports,
Chris Illuminati,
SEC Rivals,
Midwest Sports Fans,
Cool Material,
Dave and Thomas,
Burbia,
Stephen Bailey,
Gear Patrol,
Yep Yep,
Next Round,
UGO,
Mediaite and
The American Mustache Institute.
In fact we've got a competition going to see whose editors and readers can grow the best mo's. So here's what I'm doing. Every week I'm going to give away some Movember swag to the reader who sends in the best pic of their personal 'stache. I've got t-shirts, beer coozies, and other Movember stuff to send out. So get growing. And send your pics to me at:
giveaway@thebachelorguy.com, which the subject line "MOVEMBER." A new t-shirt AND an incredible 'stache? If that doesn't get you laid, nothing will.
Meanwhile I've got my own mo growing. So far it's looking pretty close to the second pic up top. (I've already gotten 3 offers to do porn.) Unless I can get it to grow faster, then I'm shooting for the handlebar. I'll be posting update pics weekly, along with winning reader pics. So stop shaving and start bringing awareness to the cause.
