I think men are seriously jealous of the fun women have when it comes to getting dressed. But that's one of the perks of being a woman. We know there aren't many...! Yet lately, I find more and more men trying to accessorize like a lady. Let me be clear: It is never acceptable for men to wear jewelry of any kind period. Unless, it is a wedding ring or the perfect male staple, a watch. That means no earrings, no bracelets, no necklaces. and for god sake, no grills! I know you are thinking grills really? But if sweetie pies like Ryan Lochte can sport them in a mistaken haze of patriotic duty, it can happen to anyone.
Jewelry makes the gender effeminate. When a guy sports earrings, so many thoughts run through my mind...Is he in the mafia? Just a jersey shore wanna-be?? Neither is a compliment and imply not just a lack of judgement, but lack of style and end to sex appeal. Hmm...probably not gonna get many dates. But, that doesn't come close to my need to look away from men putting a gauge in their ears, nose, or face for that matter.
Does this look like a reasonable man, or a man with significant mental issues. This man is mutilating his body. He risks that the hole will never shrink back to its normal size of the original piercing. Which means, he can never regain his former image. More importantly, does he limit his career to hairdresser, bouncer, or artist. Why would you do that? I know many think bracelets and necklaces can be masculine, I assure you they are not. It does not matter if its a leather bracelet or gold necklace. Neither compliment a man. Leave accessories to women.
I get that this is your opinion, but I'm kind of sad to see how judgmental it is.
