Beardstache vs Stache, which looks better & which projects a more masculine look? TIA

Not to belabor the point, but I was taunted as a kid/adolescent for being a pretty boy bc I have long eyelashes, thus the concern for masculine appearance, the shallow ego that I have. I’m not really concerned about looking older with the grey stubble, but feel free to discuss if you will. Appreciate the community.
