Title: Men with pierced ears and ear rings
Post by: geraldp1953 on October 31, 2011, 01:14:54 pm
Maybe I’m old fashion but to me, men don’t look right wearing ear rings. What do you think?

There is nothing wrong with men wearing ear rings. Piercing your ears was never a woman thing.

I have to admit that I seriously thought of putting diamond studs in my ears but eventually thought better of it.  I figured it probably didn't give the best perception in my job.  But to each is own.

It depends on the guy for sure.. but if they can pull it off I think like small(studs) are hot.  :P

It definitely depends on the guy as well as their style of clothing. Some people just don't look right in certain styles of earrings, as well as certain sizes & colors. I myself have a small silver hoop earring on my left ear. It matches alot with what I wear and it's not too obtrusive.

I agree with some of you here. Earings were never a women thing centuries ago. Men wore earings all over their bodies. In this day in age, I think if it looks good on you, then wear it. And again, earings, unlike tattoes, are one of the things you can remove and people won't notice (unless you have one of those huge ear-lobe piercings)

I personally love men with ear rings (preferably stretched aka: gauges). I think it provides a little accessory to them. I feel more uncomfortable about a man with a necklace than with earrings.

I think men look good in both earrings and necklaces. I like them all.

I saw a man today with more metal than ear. Disgusting! I've also seen men with huge holes where their earlobes should be. Gross!

I like it as long as its only 1 ear.  I see a lot of men today that have both ears pierced and with gaudy earings.  Poor taste in jewelry.

I don't like it when men wear huge earrings in both ears or looped earrings, it looks stupid.

I'm not into the pierced ears, but don't have anything against anyone who is.  I have a few tattoos and sometimes get some strange looks, but I don't care.  I don't judge and don't want anybody judging me.  Have a good one...

Men with pierced ears has been a thing of debate for long, but it is a thing of personal preference. Nothing wrong in piercing ears.

Post by: lorettahknox on November 03, 2011, 08:06:56 am
Well darling, I think this is a matter of style. Some men look so hot with that look. Some, not so much. It's kind of a bad boy thing. We love the hot bad boy but we generally marry Dexter as in Poindexter,The guy we can depend on to protect the nest. So the conservative gets the chick. ;) ;) ;)

I don't mind guys with just a small stud, or something conservative. But I think guys with huge holes in their ear lobes are weird.

i use to like it in my younger days but not anymore, really dont like it when they have many piercings also  :cat:

Agreed! I'll add to the NASCAR hat and up it with guns that are 'racked' in the back window of the truck so the manly dude can go kill animals and impress all his friends. :P >:(

I too am a little old fashioned.... I prefer a man to not be accessorized in this manner. My hubby and I own a piercing and tattoo shop, but he doesn't have any piercings and I only have my ears pierced. We have a lot of tattoos tho.  LOL To each their own. I am not one to judge...but glad hubby has no piercings.  :thumbsup:

I am also an old-fashion girl!  I believe guys should not have piercings.  However, I am not going to look down or judge men that do.  I will judge them by their personality, not by their piercings.  I am also glad my husband doesn't have any piercings.

i must agree with you. my boyfriend got his ears gauged and i think it's sexy. it's different than just piercing your ears. it's good to be different IMHO

It's not a big deal, men have been doing it for years. My son pierced his in the 80's-although he does not wear his earring anymore.

I am not into that!  ::) But, I do have many friends and or people that I work around and with that do have pierced ears, and if it suits them and they are happy with it,  :notworthy: who am I to be against them?  :dontknow:

Post by: squirrelgirl44 on December 11, 2011, 08:19:44 am
I think depending on the guy it can look good! Everyone I have ever seriously dated (and my ex husband) had theirs pierced. Like everything else, it's a personal preference.
Title: Re: Men with pierced ears and ear rings
Post by: Tresbn00 on December 11, 2011, 09:17:38 am
I think that men with earings, women with ankle bracelets, breast augmentations, botox filled parts, excessive makeup, wildly colored hair, people with tattoos lends a bit of accessibility to that person and puts them in a lower class of society.  I love my biker friends but the tattoos keep them from fitting into a conformist society and limits their ability to work at higher paying jobs.  It is too hard for society to not judge a book by its cover.  Tall people, good looking people not encumbered with the afore-mentioned decorations tend to get better paying jobs requiring higher levels of responsibility.

I think that men should wear earrings if they want to but do it with style. I think that the great big holes in their ear lobs is way over the top and they should tone it down. Earrings are all about style and who that person is
Title: Re: Men with pierced ears and ear rings
Post by: loriecampbell on December 11, 2011, 11:52:14 am
I'm with Mrisha...as long as only one ear is pierced. Two looks like too much of a "woman thing". On men I like only one ear with a small diamond like stud or a very small hoop.  :wave:  :fish:
Title: Re: Men with pierced ears and ear rings
Post by: lorettahknox on December 11, 2011, 12:25:59 pm
It depends on the guy. Some guys make me want to ask them to remove it because they look girly. Then there are some guys who pull it off to the max and they look so sexy I want to climb them like a tree. Take Harrison Ford for example very, very sexy. Bruce Willis very much sexy a definite tree climb. I think it's the guy who makes it happen or not.

Yes it is a choice, however, for me being a :female: , my choice is that I really DON'T like it, I do not find it attractive at all!!  Would it keep my from dating somebody?  Yes probably would keep me from dating them, just not into it, gotta have that physical chemistry going, and that is a turnoff for me!!

An ear is an ear whether it's on a man or a woman so I don't care if they want to do it that's their business.  I'm used to seeing men with earrings so don't matter to me.
Title: Re: Men with pierced ears and ear rings
Post by: RUPPRECHTS10 on December 11, 2011, 04:25:46 pm
I think it really all depends who is wearing the earrings and how they are pierced. I mean, I think both sides pierced looks weird... but maybe it's just me  :)

I may be old school but I don't think anyone should get their ears pierced.  We were born without accessories and can manage without them.  Our ears have one purpose and that is to listen with, not attract attention to. 
Title: Re: Men with pierced ears and ear rings
Post by: dreamongirl on December 19, 2011, 07:01:01 pm
some don't and some do. i think it depends on the earring.. like the ones that make holes, there's are terrible. but studs can be nice looking on some dudes
Title: Re: Men with pierced ears and ear rings
Post by: ptfunds on December 19, 2011, 07:36:14 pm
I think that men look great with earrings. It is not a feminine only accessory. As with women, however, a person must pick what is attractive for them personally. Some look great in larger earrings, some don't. Some look great in hoops, some don't. Some look good in one earring, some look good in two. I think it depends on the person. Good topic.

Post by: mall0271 on December 19, 2011, 08:46:16 pm
It has taken some time. I didn't like it at first. But it does depend on the guy. And it can only be diamond studs. No hoop earrings. That's a turn off.  :-[

 8) well, personally I think earrings can look sexy on a man.  But then that is a matter of personal preference like long hair on a man.  I have seen guys who have earrings that don't look that attractive but then may be not that attractive to begin with.  My husband is old and fat lol but I still think his earring looks good. :confused1:

I don't mind a guy with a stud in his left ear, but I don't like when men get both ears pierced. I especially can't stand when a man wears earrings that are bigger than mine.

I might be a little old fashioned but I think that it is odd to see guys with earrings. I am old school and understand that it is up to each person to do as they please.

It doesn't bother as long as they don't go nuts and wear the real long ones that go down to there shoulder.

I think it really depends on the guy... There are some men that have a tough, masculineness about them that look good with piercings, while conservative "geeks" that look better without. What I really dislike are the geeky guys that wear earrings just to look cool... It usually makes them look stupid and even emphasizes their geekiness.

I don't mind a pierced ear on a guy, sometimes I find it a little sexy. However, I can not stomach the big holes in their lobes. I find that very grotesque. I mean, what's the point? And what kind of females find that attractive? And what kind of job do they think they can get with ears like that? I think they will regret it when their brains straighten out.

There is no point, just like there is no real point in both genders wearing earrings.

Check into other cultures you will find that jewelry was made for men to begin with.  Also purses were made for a men first.  Earrings is not just a woman thing.

I for one think men with pierced earrings can be hot! My boyfriend used to have them but has since let them go and I am now encouraging him to re-pierce them. However, we own our own business so I do not know how it would go over. What would you guys think of a male with earrings working for you in your home?

I like men with one ear pierced and wearing a little stud. The large  hoop thing doesn't do it for me and those stretched earlobes with discs in it is quite off-putting. The tribes in Africa have those discs in their ears and lips and it looks totally unnatural.

I think pierced ears on men look ok if the earring is small.  I don't really like the dangling or hoop look on them. Although I would rather see
pierced ears on men than pierced nipples.  My Ex husband( who is 46) went and got his nipples pierced. It shows through his shirts. Just not attractive. Sorry got off topic here!
