Obviously Howie Mandel looks like a tool with it, as does Ty Pennington. But certainly there are some dudes who can rock a Soul Patch i.e., one Billy Zane, Guy Fieri, Chris Gaines…just kidding about Chris Gaines, just seeing if you were awake.

But what is the stat quo? More importantly, what do the ladies think? Who wouldn’t want a fine strip of man rubbing against their lip during a make-out session? The problem I ran into was finding any accumulated data regarding how the fairer sex feels about a man with a Soul Patch. Conversely, there was a never ending supply of dudes telling other dudes their feelings about rocking a Soul Patch. This one was probably the best.

Ladies, throw us a bone- to Soul Patch, or not to Soul Patch?
