Earrings for men.

I'd like to be, under the sea.

Perfectly camouflaged by my fish earrings.

Is that Halfoldman lurking behind the sea-weed?

Nope it's just little fishes.

It just occured to me, reading this thread, that you are answering other ATS members with your posts. You don't use the reply feature, so it is often confusing to those of us out here.

So, here's a suggestion: When you read a post that you want to reply to, go up to the upper right-hand side of the post and click on "reply". That brings up a box in which you can comment. There is no commitment involved. You just have to type a reply, and then we will know who you are talking to, instead of having to guess.

I think you will get more comments if you do this.

Otherwise, it just seems sometimes like you are talking to yourself.

Oh my gosh! I think you may be correct.

I always sort of thought that he began talking to himself also and so I just moseyed over to the corner whistling to myself.
Sorry about that halfoldman!

That's always what I've thought too....and I still think it. Sometimes I wonder if he starts his threads before he starts drinking and what we witness is what happens in his brain as he gets drunk.

OP: the dangling earrings look VERY feminine. And I dare to say that even one of those dangly fish earrings would look feminine. But the two- definitely feminine, an def strange contrasted with your beard.

That WAS the original premise of your thread, he "does this look weird" question. And yes, yes it does. Unless you want to look like a gay man (not that there's anything wrong with that, as Seinfeld says) or a guy who wants to be a woman, go with different ear rings.

All groovy - as long as everybody had fun.

Regarding the earrings, I think my mom was right.

You might like them, but you can't really wear them.

But then thinking of all the teenagers covered in tattoos and piercings.

Flip it's just earrings.
And that's the thing - people regard it as gender transgressive.

If you looked like the Jim Rose circus, people would say, "cool he's just a punk".
The problem is, I actually feel pretty svelte with them.

One thing I had to deal with growing up male, there's some things you can't do.

Like, for example, you can't be a princess.

What?
I can't?
Isn't that gender discrimination?
Technically yes.

Just as well, considering how frequently they get bumped off, I'd rather shovel donkey manure.

Not to be rude, but just a view - so what if some members have drinks and fun?

Apologies I couldn't just sit still and contemplate my navel, and then act all superior about it.

Each to their own - whatever floats your boat.

Behind this, what's your greatest fear?

I might outlive the people I love, and have to face the world alone.

Maybe I should have gender-reassignment to go with the earrings?

Choose the body to go with the accessories.

That's a bit extreme perhaps.

No, quite happy being a gay male.

Always transgressive - that is our existence.

I'd get bigger ones more sparkle and glisten.

Just as well bro.

Let's not start taking them out as proof.

For the sake of peace and decorum (I hear there are ladies in the house) - I take your word for it.

Let's leave the measuring tape in the drawer.

Good on you Chirp !

Besides, vernier calipers ... not measuring tapes would be the required gauges. 😁

What are your thoughts as to men wearing dangly earrings !

Well considering that: "A vernier scale is a visual aid to take an accurate measurement reading between two graduation markings on a linear scale by using mechanical interpolation; thereby increasing resolution and reducing measurement uncertainty by using Vernier acuity to reduce human estimation error."

And therefore not entirely accurate

I like men to wear whatever pleases me at that particular time...dangly or otherwise!

Ummm ...

Yeah that !

Or a squirrel grip!

Ha ha, is this conversation still going on...ha ha. It's not an issue.

What?
Growing a beard?
Now you need three different products to do it mate!
A pre-wash, a wash and a moisturizer!
