I'm not exactly sure of the year, and I'm sure some history professor could probably figure it out, but somewhere along the late 70's/early 80's, men stopped wearing mustaches. I feel like it is actually a distinct moment in time, and will probably later allow us to date historic events with more meaning, much like the A.D./B.C. convention allows us.

I don't know what it is, but I just can't wear a mustache. It makes me feel naked, or the same feeling as naked. As avid readers will recall, I once owned a 2001 Police Interceptor, the best coasting car known to man. My co-workers and I decided it would be fun to go eat lunch together in the "cruiser" sporting the most porn-star mustaches we could muster. But none of us, from whatever township or age group could grow a mustache normally. We all had to "beard up" for the two or three weeks leading up to the event, whereupon we shaved down to the mustache for the day.

Amazing! How does he do that?

There some who couldn't stand wearing the mustache past lunch and shaved it off afterwards with whatever they could find. I'm not sure what it is about mustaches, but there is a year or two somewhere around 1978/1979 where if you were wearing a mustache before then your fine, but if you try afterwards it just doesn't work. Just look at Tom Selleck- above. The penultimate in mustached perfection. I can't for the life of me figure out how he can pull that off an look so good. He really looks like the older version of "Shoeless Joe Graham" from the greatest movie of all time, "Field of Dreams" (besides 'Time Bandits' and 'On the Right Track' with Gary Coleman).
