Me neither. They’re kind of horrifying. I like beards (on my husband, anyway) and don’t mind many creative sorts of facial hair, but I’ve never seen a good soul patch.
The only facial hair style that isn’t lame is the conquistador.
My husband has one, and I think it’s hot. On him. It takes the right kind of man to pull it off.
Not so much stupid as I find it annoying.
I’m border line OCD, so when ever I see one I just want to scream: “Dude! you missed a spot!” Then promptly hand them a razor.
Eh, I don’t care. It looks good on some folks.
Only facial hair I can’t stand are mustaches. They creep me out, for some reason.
Usually stupid-looking. That Joe Hachem picture looks stupid to me - it pretty much personifies the douchey guy who wears a silly-looking soulpatch. I think the rule of thumb for facial hair on men should be if the first thing people notice about you is your facial hair, it isn’t a good look for you.
Now, regarding mustaches - about the only people who look good in mustaches are firemen.
Zappa looked good with a soul patch, but he had a mustache too.
If you’re going to grow one, it’s important that it not be all sparse and wispy. That just looks bad.
I think they can be very cool, very sexy.
I am also really embarrassed by the fact that I think this. (Kind of like my fondness for Billy Idol, back in the day.)
A guy I’m dating casually has one (with a mustache and very short hair) and on him it looks great.
One of my professors had a full beard and mustache with the notable exception of the soul patch area. I don’t know if he shaved it or if hair simply refused to grow that close to his lower lip. All I know is that that shiny quarter-sized piece of skin was visible from the back of the auditorium reflecting unholy hairless glory.
Oh, and soul patches, reverse or otherwise are STUPID.
I cannot be bothered to give a shit either way, which is why I have what sort of resembles one…I don’t shave that area, and the hair never gets very long. You can’t really tell except from certain angles. I agree that tended-and-shaped soul patches look doofy, but then again, I think the same thing about the pencil-thin “face outline” beard that everyone seems to love, so maybe I’m not qualified to comment.
Ughhh! Those are the worst! It’s like “I have a round face and a receding chin and I am trying to make you thing that I have a defined, handsome jaw”
It does not work.
Also,a Soul patch is not a great look. Or a great name, for that matter.
I’m cranky tonight! 
Bo Diddley pulled off the soul patch. But he was a real blueman.
there’s a jacky chan movie where he sports a soul patch and has to shave it for a job.
99% of the time it looks stooopid. most guys will shave them off if you call it a ‘ball scratcher’ 
Billy Ray Cyrus has one and remember how long it took him to lose the mullet after it fell outta style.
What does that tell you?
Screams “TOOL” to me.
They look stupid, and shouldn’t they have gone out of style ages ago anyway. (I don’t like facial hair in general, especially moustaches.)
Fondness for Billy Idol is nothing to be ashamed of.
Good one! I’ll also go with the “a rare guy can carry off a solo soulpatch” qualification as well. Very rare.
Yeah, the only guys who I’ve seen who can actually carry off that pencil-thin “beard” style are ones with extremely defined jawlines. And even then, just the thought of how much maintenance needs to be done kind of nags at the back of my head.
Wow, Howie really has changed recently.
I’ve got one, but it goes with a goatee (no moustache).
Anyway, I am tremendously cool and phenomenally good looking, so there.
