The white crap is a uniform. Probably the most retarded uniform at my school but that's another story.

I have various pendant things to hang round my neck (a stylised Maori bone fishhook, a stylised Crawley steel fishhook, a crocodile tooth and a fish thing), but I don't wear any of them very much. I had a leather wristband thing I wore for quite a while, but then I lost it.

Rings generally look stupid (except wedding rings), earrings depend on the wearer, gold jewelry or massive silver chains are generally a bad idea unless you are a big rap star or something.

I agree.

I refuse to buy women jewlery. hence why I'm single . actually I've never had an opportunity to buy a woman jewelry. I haven't been in a serious enough relationship.

If I ever do have to get married, I will refuse to buy her diamonds based on the fact the diamond trade is responsible for thousands of deaths in africa. I'll tell her little kids get their arms chopped off for not working hard enough in the mines (this is possibly true- I heard it on the radio ). I'll get her a cubic zirconia instead. we'll see if that flys.

quote: Originally posted by loinburger Jewelry on men doesn't really bug me anymore than jewelry on women. F'rinstance, the guy in the cubicle across from me has a stud in his ear, and I think it looks good on him, and his girlfriend evidently doesn't think that it makes him look gay (or maybe she does, and is trying to convert him to heterosexuality, but either way, he wins), so, what's the problem? At the same time, things like tongue piercings, nipple piercings, or those huge friggin piercings that you can run a chain through make me cringe, regardless of whether it's a man, woman, or androgynous it-thing wearing said piercings. It's just the gag-factor involved that gets to me. Sort of like the difference between somebody getting a tattoo on their upper-arm and somebody getting a tattoo on their taint.

possibly the first time I've seen the word taint in this context in a poly post. There's a first for everything.

Men care too much about what other men wear, it's almost like a flock of women in some places. Wouldn't a straight guy be thinking about sports, women, work, vacation, or something other than some other guy's clothes/jewelry? I worry more about the men who want to be fashion critics of other men rather than the guy that wants to wear a tie chain or a ring.

quote: I find it fascinating how terrified most straight boys are of looking gay. Must be so depressing walking about thinking "is this too gay?"

I know straight men terrified about this & I'm in Calfornia. And it's not just clothes/jewelry. It's silly. Some guy talks about how "x is gay" and suddenly it is taboo for all straight guys because it doesn't fit into society's mold.

I can see it now... a future where every straight guy wears only the uniform of presidential candidates... a solid red or blue tie only, white shirt only, plain black suit only, and wedding ring only. And then someone will call the red tie "too gay".

wouldn't gay guys be afraid of looking straight?

I always figured I'd be a failure as a gay guy. Because I have no fashion sense, and wouldn't be able to dress gayly.

The only jewellery a man should wear is a watch.

I don't even wear a wedding ring.

Jewellery is for poofs.

no wedding ring

I would wear a wedding ring. women expect that. and it will be my compromise for not buying her a diamond ring (see my above rant about diamonds)

but in my line of work rings would not be good. I'd have to take it off for work.

I think it's because my ancestors were working men and jewellery was dangerous.

But anyway I just think jewellery of any kind, including a wedding ring, looks butt ugly on a man. It's a personal thing.

Nah actually I can't stand piercings and tatoos.

Although earrings look hot on women, but belly rings and other rings look terrible.

I can't help but think of piercing as mutilation.

Diamonds aside, why do you care how attractive a man looks to you? It's a guy... not your wife/girlfriend.

IMO, leave the "Oh my god, honey, you're not going to wear THAT are you?" to the women and gay guys.

Piercings

Every day, in every way, I love my five. They remind me of important moments in my life.

That and, for some reason, I really like getting pierced. The tension, the sharp point of the needle, the pressure...the release as flesh parts like butter....the heat and the cold metal...

I always thought that eyebrow piercings looked pretty nifty, but my wife won't let me get any because she has the outlandish notion that they are only for gay guys. Poppycock says I, but who can argue with the Mrs?

Well cufflinks are slightly more essential if you get a nice tailored shirt. the cuffs just looks better. Guess my cufflinks are the equivalent of the class ring things (rowing club logo).

No other jewelry on me though (and even that only on formal occasions).

I don't like girls too blinged up either. A simple necklace can make a neckline even more attractive, and a ring or two don't do too much harm if they aren't too big but the rest is not necessary really.
