Welcome back to Guysourcing, where a panel of helpful gentlemen answer your questions. This week's question was the following: "What factors influence your facial hair style? How often do you change it? How long does it take for you to get used to a new one? Do you change it based on the preferences of the person/people you're dating? And if you date dudes, what are your facial hair preferences for them, if any?" Below, guys respond. More »

It seems despite our definitive refutation of the mustache, it won't go easy: in today's Guardian, writer Gareth McLean shows off the sinister-looking stache sprouted in what he terms "the Movember Initiative." As is the way of upper-lip hair, it does little to burnish its cause — nor does the accompanying rogue's gallery of mustachioed celebs.

America's favorite sexually-harassing clothier and Gawker Media punching bag, Dov Charney, was the subject of some SNL riffing this past weekend.

The only thing wrong: Dov would never hit on a female over the age of 19. Clip above. More »
