Jerry S. would say "Not that there is anything wrong with that". Any preference or opinions about men wearing earrings?

I was a child of the 1980's hair bands, and guys with earrings. To my world experience, it's normal. Just like to todays kids tattoos are normal. Kind of scary to think of what's next...Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Please check out and subscribe to my Workshop Blog.Comment

I'm not a fan of earrings on men and random body piercings on anyone but it's not my body so it's not my business. Body art does strange things to my brain that I cannot explain.
My sister-in-law and niece have several extra piercings in their ears. Another niece has a tongue ring. Two of my nephews have small tattoos. I don't ask why and I try not to pay too much attention.
Then there's my wife, who can't have her ears pierced but loves to wear earrings.Comment

Seeing earrings on men doesn't really bother me that much unless they're like big glittery hoops or something else that's overtly feminine -- or I should say something that doesn't really go with the rest of the way the guy is dressed or his age. E.g. a guy dressed as my culture would expect a guy to dress for his age, but wearing big hoop earrings -- that would have me wondering, "what's with that?" But I guess even that doesn't really bother me too much -- maybe just a little uncomfortable or confusing to look at.
...but if the guy were dressed in drag, I'd expect the earrings to match the outfit and I'd probably think it a bit odd if they didn't.
I guess some earrings have made it into the cultural norm for guys... I've never really given it much thought until now. I must have somehow picked up some intuitive sense of what types of earrings are "normal" for guys and what aren't... but there's no way I could look a lot of earrings and make a judgment on whether or not they're appropriate for a guy...
interesting question...
At the end of the day, though, it's their body, and if I don't like to look at it, then I just turn away.online at http://www.theFrankes.com

men and earrings
Earrings, piercings, tattoos and the like ......not for me and never will be either! I find most of that junk is offensive in most ways. Years ago in 60's
only sailors came home after a long voyage at sea wearing a tatto(s).
Most other people didn't have or care for them.
I don't think that grown men need to wear earrings.....come on now ? where
are the so called pirates they are trying to look like huh? No surfers this far inland from the beach around here either. A stupid fad that is still hangin' around to this day and time.
When I was in high school in the 60's, if a guy had an earring in one ear,
to most people it was considered that was his way of announcing to everyone else that he was "gay"...but we didn't call them " gays" back then.
Never saw anyone with two (2) earrings back then except women!

None of that stuff for me either. Body disfigurement is a barbaric practice IMHO. I'm so strong in my opinions about this that I refuse to allow my daughter to have her ears pierced until after she turns 18.Donate to my Tour de Cure

Back in '70s, a younger neighborhood friend was talking about getting his ear's pierced for an earring. Another neighbor said: "I thought you were talking about joining the marines?" The young fellow said "Yes." - to which the other neighbor said, "If you get your ear pierced, you better hope it heals BEFORE you join the marines. AND I certainly wouldn't go sign up with one in my ear."

um... no. really don't care if a direct report shows up with one or with any other odditities as long as they can do the job.
I do expect that any decoration be tastefully coordinated with their interview outfit. If some guy showed up with a blue suit and garnet earrings <<shudder>> he gets a big black mark.Comment

Cman, if you want an earring just get one.
