Facial hair is widely perceived as masculine and mature. Be it a well-groomed moustache or a lush and untrimmed beard, prominent facial hair on a male character is used to show them as a bona fide tough guy, a man's man, a veritable buffet of manliness. The reason for this is that women and young boys usually don't grow facial hair, and the lack of it on a post-pubescent man can make them look "delicate" (see Pretty Boy) so its presence is associated with a gruff, hardened older guy. While a sufficiently muscled and square-jawed hunk can get away with being clean-shaven or sporting Perma-Stubble, he is just as likely to have a thick moustache and/or a full and gorgeous beard. Characters who lack facial hair can be considered less masculine, and the growth of facial hair on someone who was previously unable to grow it or was clean-shaven can be a visual indicator that the guy Took a Level in Badass. Common "manly" types who tend to have facial hair are the Chick Magnet (who may be sporting a Clark Gable-style mustache), the Mighty Lumberjack, Nature Hero, or Hunter Trapper (in these cases a bushy beard shows their relation to and dominance over nature), The Strongman (who is usually associated with a handlebar moustache), and the Macho Latino sporting one of the Magnificent Moustaches of Mexico. Also often found in military settings, associated with Sergeant Rock, Colonel Badass, The Captain, Father Neptune, and the Ace Pilot. Sometimes the association becomes parodic, as in the case of Testosterone Poisoning types who also sport exaggerated facial hair. Sister Trope to Carpet of Virility, which achieves the same effect with chest hair, and Lantern Jaw of Justice, the way to go if you want to look manly without a beard. Compare also to Hot Blooded Sideburns, displaying an individual's strong personality. Super-Trope to Beard of Barbarism (where long facial hair is used to mark someone as being from a violent warrior culture) and Seadog Beard (where a bushy beard is on an experienced seaman). Compare Girls with Moustaches, mustached or bearded women are usually presented as funny or disgusting since women should not be manly and should not have facial hair. And note that not all facial hair is manly — a Porn Stache might make people giggle instead, and a Wizard Beard serves more to make them look wise and old. Beard of Sorrow is also not manly, but rather a sign that a man has become depressed and given up on his grooming (though it could be worn by a Heartbroken Badass). A Beard of Evil is also unlikely to be manly, given its likelihood to be worn by an older, wimpy intellectual villain like a Mad Scientist or Evil Chancellor. Beards have also fallen in and out of fashion throughout history. The elaborate military whiskers of the Victorian and Edwardian Eras fell quickly out of fashion during World War One because they interfered with the fit of gas masks (except for the toothbrush mustache as it would fit beneath the mask, but it was Ruined FOREVER by one guy). They were out in the 20th century thanks to the rise of widely-available shaving equipment making it easy to get rid of facial hair but made a comeback in the 21st. Note: it is not enough for a male character to simply have a moustache, sideburns, or beard. The work must associate the facial hair with masculinity in some way. |

All of the main male characters on Miami Vice had this is some form at different points in the series, either via a distinctive five o'clock shadownote to the point of popularizing it alongside George Michael (Crockett), a thick mustache (Castillo), or a full beard (Tubbs, Switek, and Zito). | |

Bleach: Following his reawakening from a thousand years of slumber, Yhwach quickly mounts an army to utterly defeat the Soul Society and kill Yamamoto through clever deception; Ichigo's massive attack power only shreds a piece of his sleeve, right before Yhwach slams Ichigo down with relative ease. His mustache was impressive enough in the beginning, but as each subsequent appearance leads to darker events and brings him closer to the Soul King, the mustache increases in size and thickness◊ accordingly. | |

Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation. Not only is he a Manly Man with the strength and toughness that comes with it (by sitcom standards, of course), the mustache itself is badass enough to come back to full form within mere days of being singed or trimmed off. In fact, when Ron got back with his ex, Tammy 1, the loss of his moustache is legitimately seen as a sign of emasculation by his friends and co-workers. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Major Alex Louis Armstrong, despite being totally bald save for one lock of hair, sports a prominent mustache. Fittingly, he's one of the most overtly manly characters in the series: he's got incredibly large muscles and has one of the most physical fighting styles of the State Alchemists. Sig, Izumi's husband, is a bearded butcher who's equally as tough and muscled as Armstrong, and can fight alongside him despite not being an alchemist himself. Notably, when Armstrong meets him for the first time, Sig's face is one of the things he admires. He also has a deep voice to match his manliness, and was able to kill Sloth alongside Alex Armstrong with his bare hands. |

RWBY: The captain of the ship to Menagerie and Mistral has a full and shaggy white beard and side-burns, and full moustaches. It initially helps make him seem grandfatherly when he first tries to bring the anti-social Blake out of her shell. Once the sea dragon attacks, it helps give him a calm, level-headed, no-nonsense air of authority; he is portrayed as a grizzled veteran who instantly takes command of his young crew and the two young Huntsmen that are travelling on the ship. Ghira has a very large and full beard that blends in with the rest of his hair and compliments the hair on his chest and arms. When forced to fight by the White Fang's attempt to assassinate him, his style is very physical and includes physical intimidation such as flexing his muscles while roaring. Even being stabbed in the back doesn't stop him from fighting, or holding up a large section of a falling ledge with his arms and shoulders to stop Ilia from being crushed. |

Judge Dee: The Judge himself has a magnificent beard that often gets him mistaken for the Judge of the Underworld. His lieutenants, who provide the majority of the action scenes, go for long mustaches instead. Subverted in the first book, where a retired philosopher has a much larger one than the judge yet turns out to be a criminal with a false beard (the judge is unmistakably smug when it comes off). |

In the world of The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, moustaches have mystical powers. Dan McNinja earned the leadership of his clan simply by showing off his impressive moustache, and Gordito - a ten-year-old boy - grew an even greater pair out of sheer force of will, instantly cowing the grown-up civil worker witnessing this. Even Franz Rayner's neckbeard, which got him laughed out by other ninjas, is capable of blocking attacks. | |

The Wolf Among Us: Sheriff Bigby Wolf's normal style of facial hair is a 5 o'clock shadow beard that grows into a medium-length beard with a stubble mustache when he gets angrier and is forced to use his innate powers. As a character, Bigby is a tough fighter as many fables have gone into brawls with him, he smokes a lot, and is hot-blooded. Bigby's fighting prowess and toughness were the exact reasons why he was chosen to be the sheriff of Fabletown as he's the most iconic fable (resulting in his high durability) and he is considered one of the best fighters in Fabletown. | |

Barry is also a husband and a father of two daughters and during his time in the mansion incident, he wields a .44 magnum revolver, which is extremely powerful. The remake slightly tones down his muscular frame and he gains a Perma-Stubble instead of retaining his facial hair, but he regains it in Resident Evil: Revelations 2. | |

The Cleveland Show: Zig-zagged with protagonist Cleveland Brown. While his mustache is a great source of pride for him (at one point he's shown to have an entire grooming kit for it), he displays few stereotypically "masculine" traits in connection with facial hair. While losing his mustache causes his voice to noticeably rise in pitch (no filter), his level of vanity in regard to his facial hair could be considered stereotypically feminine. | |

The Princess Bride: The contrast in physical capability between facial hair haves and have-nots can be seen in the main characters. Westley was clean-shaven as the innocent farm boy at the beginning. By the time he turns up again as the formidable fighter the Dread Pirate Roberts he's gotten a moustache. Master Swordsman Inigo Montoya has a fairly bushy moustache of his own, while the strong giant Fezzik has healthy sideburns. The villainous yet competent Rugen, Humperdinck's main enforcer, has a Beard of Evil. These stand in contrast to the sniveling Vizzini, the Prince Charmless Humperdinck, the elderly Max, and the creepy Albino, who don't have facial hair. |

Zig-zagged in Deep Rock Galactic, whose dwarves all exhibit Stout Strength and are brave/bonkers enough to willingly delve into the monster-infested mines of Hoxxes IV. The Scout and Engineer classes by default have facial hair, but the Gunner and Driller — who both handle rapidly-rotating equipment — are clean-shaven. But a quick trip to the in-game shop lets you spend your gold on a variety of mustaches and beards to customize your characters, and truly magnificent beard styles, embellished with armor plating or gilded jewelry, are rare and valuable cosmetic items. | |

Dead In Vinland, being set in The Viking Age, is unsurprisingly chock full of these. Almost every single male character, from The Hero to random mooks, has a beard, including non-Norse characters, and they tend to be ornate Beards of Barbarism, decorated with gold rings, braids, dreadlocks (in the case of eccentric African griot Cisse), and the like. Only Brother Angelico, a timid young Italian monk who's basically a male version of the White Magician Girl, is clean-shaven. | |

Group of 7: A Most Secret Tale: Both Bethune and Smythe were mustachioed men who fought in World War I, though this seems to be more true of Smythe. The reason being that he's one of the group's hand-to-hand combat experts, and the first thing he does when he learns that John McCrae will be leading the team is challenge him for the leadership position, not liking the idea of being led by a poet into battle. McCrae still beats him one-handed, but props to him for being gutsy enough to try it. | |

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie: When SpongeBob and Patrick feel like they're not manly enough to make it to Shell City, Mindy decides to use her "mermaid magic" to make them into men. What she actually does, however, is stick seaweed on their faces to make it look like they have moustaches. With their newfound confidence, our duo head back on the road... but they then run into Dennis the bounty hunter, who not only tears off their fake moustaches, but shows them what a real moustache looks like by instantly growing one himself. | |

Villains by Necessity: The legendary hero Sir Pryse was a paladin who sported a manly 'stache; apparently he set a trend since every other paladin who shows up in the story is described as boasting a thick, neatly-trimmed mustache. When Blackmail removes his helmet and reveals his identity, he's still got the same mustache he had as Sir Pryse, now just slightly graying from age. | |

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the academy students all consider Saguaro to be a huge Manly Man. Naturally, he has quite an impressive mustache to back up this assumption. | |

Ling Long Incarnation: The older character, Elon, is the only one who can take on the younger protagonist, Mark, in a fistfight. Probably has something to do with the fact that he has a full beard, which adds extra manliness that Mark's Perma-Stubble can't match. | |

Street Fighter: Zangief, who's characterized by his muscular physique, boisterous attitude, and herculean levels of strength, has a very iconic beard that stays consistent across all of his appearances. He's also got a strong Carpet of Virility to go with it. In Street Fighter V, Ryu was given an alt costume that makes him shirtless and gives him a rugged beard. Fans decided to call this look "Hot Ryu". It grew popular enough to become the basis of Ryu's design in Street Fighter 6. |

Dexter's Laboratory: Has an episode where Dexter uses Hollywood Science to give himself a bushy red beard, in emulation of his hero Action Hank, and Dexter even ends up fighting alongside him against various bearded villains. Unfortunately he loses his prosthetic facial hair in the process, but Action Hank reassures him that "It's not the beard on the outside that counts, but the beard on the inside." | |

'Star Trek: The Next Generation'': Commander William Riker is famous for his beard, as well as for being a commanding leader (even The Captain of his own ship as of Star Trek: Nemesis) and a confident ladies' man. In the episode "The Schizoid Man Data briefly experiments with wearing a beard on his face, feeling it makes him look more intellectual. He quickly abandons the experiment after seeing Geordi and Troi's reaction to the beard. Klingons consider their beards to be symbols of courage, and in the episode "The Quality of Life" Worf states that beards are symbols of courage. |
