I think the moustache worked. And that was the hip thing for questionably gay guys, having a moustache in the late seventies/early 80's

S#%T! I had a moustache in the late seventies/early 80's, when my kids see photos from that period, they call it my "porno tache" personally I think they're jealous that I could grow a good moustache at 17/18 years old.

Cheers Trev.
