Earrings on a guy

[SpoiledPrincess]

Right ear means you're gay, left ear means you're straight, both ears means you're a pirate.

They're earrings for godsake, they don't mean anything more than that you like jewellery ;-)

I use to wear earrings in both ears. I have worn white gold hoops, yellow gold hoops, and the last ones that I wore were 1 carat diamond studs. I still own those, and occassionally wear them; the holes in my ears never closed.

I stopped wearing the earrings because of statements of others. My features are soft and it would piss me off when people would call me a chick because of long hair, earrings, and other things.

earrings are statements of style,self expression...NOT a statement of sexuality.its sort of like the "white socks on thursdays"rule back in the day.unless you're caught blowing some dude in a public rest room,you shouldn't worry about "looking gay"...PLEASE!!

Then why is it that EVERY guy I have seen that wears an earring on just the right ear happens to be gay? A coincindence?

Only the faux rhinestone dangies bother me on a guy. :tongue:

I used to have both ears pierced. Gold stud in one and thin hoop in the other.

Found out LONG after my mother's mother died that she was terrified that I "might be gay" because of "all those earrings." (She was also the one who didn't open the door of her house to me because she didn't recognize me after I grew my beard in graduate school. I had to drive home and ask my mother to call my grandmother to let her know I'd grown a beard.)

Took out the earrings to look for jobs here in conservative Tobacco-land in the late 90s. The holes closed up almost entirely, but sharp-eyed people still sometimes ask, "Do you have pierced ears??" I change the verb for them: "Yes, I did."

I played it off as a pirate. :biggrin1: Not the Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean, fey as hell type, but the deep-voiced, hairy-chested, big-bodied masculine bearish pirate who'd plunder your ass if he wanted to. :tongue:

Don't know, never been a fan of guys going through extra stuff that is usually reserved for women, but to each his own, if it makes you feel good, you should do it.

Honestly... earrings are ugly on guys... Some can handle it, but I really mean some.
And more horrible is the bling-bling earrings on guys ... YUCK

I'm not a lover of piercings.
Nor am I lover of jewelry on men.
Nor do I wear any jewelry myself (not even a watch).

Yet...I got my left ear pierced on a whim in the mid 80's. I was walking past a storefront tchotchke shop on 8th St. in Manhattan when an elderly Asian man walked out toward me and said "Me pierce ear for You...real good!" He was convincing, it was the "in" thing at the time, and it felt like it'd be a good zingada to the Regan Republicans. So I went for it.
The novelty wore off after a year. When the hole "closes" it contracts to the point where an earring can no longer be inserted...but it never closes completely. I now see what remains of that self-mutilation every time I look in the mirror. I regret doing it.

I have diamond studs in both of my ears. Got the left done at 18 (Spring 07). Got the right one done the next year at Seaside Heights. Home of the show Jersey Shore.

I got laid the same night I got my ear pierce. Ive since stopped wearing it. I think i just grew out of it.
