I don't think gold rings or diamond studs suit guys, particularly if they are in the lobe of the ear. It just doesn't look right to me.

I currently don't have any piercings or tatoos, but want some of each (tatoos to cover some scars from an accident on my arms, piercings for...I dunno, I just want some).

However, I am tempted to get 3-5 silver twisted rings in the back edge of my left ear (sort of in the top 1/3-1/2 of the ear), a bar through the top, and either my eyebrow or lip done (either a labret spike on my lower lip just a the top of my beard or a simple silver ring on the right eyebrow). Nothing on the lobes, and no flesh tunnels (as they are called here).

OH come on guys, I've not read all of this thread but it seems to me that it was just created to hate on people that want to change their body.
I agree that when you have a hole that you can put your fist through it is a little too much but I don't see where all the hate is coming from.

Thank you so much I wanted to say this.

well some of it comes from insecurity about their own sexuality, re the "that's gay" comments, other than that it's just ppl being afraid of something different

I did not mean to imply that all fellows with piercings or earrings were doing it simply for a fad. I apologize if I offended you, and you are most certainly guaranteed your point of view. Although, it is good to hear of a case where the person actually stated why they wear the earrings, instead of simply saying they do.

I made my assumption based on the statistics of the population of my college. This involves about 1 in 10 of the guys there with an earring of some sort(stud, hoop, what have you), with about 1 in 3 of them having at least one gauge, most with one in each ear.

I also didn't make any analogies, you did that, and I am not going to make them unless asked. Certainly there are others that feel the same way you do, but I find it hard to believe that of a good third of men that wear earrings, they all do it for the reasons you stated.

Sorry I wasnt aiming that at you, more the people who assume that being modded makes me either gay, a failiure, or some kind of deviant. See the post above my previous for that.
I can understand people not liking the way someone else dresses, but the way some people have decided that it should pidgeon hole someone is outright retarded.

Well, there's your problem.

I didn't make this thread to hate on people with earrings; I made it so we could all discuss, like people, our differing views on men wearing earrings.

And just because a few people say they dislike men who wear them, or the earrings themselves, does not mean they're "hating on" these people. That is just their opinion.
