    I think the only white man that still wear them is Harrison Ford. The brothas can still pull it off.

    The only guys I've seen wearing them lately usually have at least 2.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    In the US: Black guys and wiggers wear rocks on each ear.

    Some white guys and some mexicans plug and stretch their lobes to around 0G.

    Some asians tend to taper spike their ears with 16-10G spikes.

    That's pretty much all I see these days.

    I'm really not into guys who wear earrings, but that is just my personal taste. :) But I think earrings look WAY better than gold chains that some guys wear. Sorry, I hope I don't offend anyone. I guess I don't really like jewelry on men at all, unless it is made out of hemp or puka shells or it is a really cool armband (notice I don't say bracelet lol) or something similar. :)

    I haven't worn one in 10 years, apart from maybe at a fancy dress party or something. I always think of David Beckham as a great wearer of earings these days, but on checking his web site I see that even Becks seems to have abandoned the look recently....

    I agree with you about men and jewelry. I am a guy, just for the record. I can't stand gold chains, but I think that is due to the fact that I grew up in Brooklyn with Guidos (by the way I am also Italian, and I have at least one picture of me at 16 with a Guido chain, oh boy). Besides the look, I just can't stand the feel of jewelry. I don't even wear a watch, and it took me years to get used to my wedding ring.

    It was going on before that. A lot of hardcore, metal and straight edge kids were/are still doing it. I remember in the late 90's my first couple years of high school kids were starting to do it already. Smaller(higher number) gauges are actually becoming an excepted norm for a lot of younger kids regardless of scene as well.

    There's a little association problem with earrings these days.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    :sigh: agreed :)

    Beckham is who I thought of too...but I have to say I even prefer him without the earrings. Not a fan of jewelry on men...a watch and a wedding ring is about it. Even on women...I hate tons of rings, etc...I like one statement piece. Keep it low key.

    I think an earring on the left ear can be very cool on a guy. I think guys do still wear the earring, but I have also seen guys wearing two earrings, (?) and also piercing all kinds of facial parts.

    maybe this dates me a bit, but I stop at the left ear on the piercing thing; after that the guy is a bit scarier............

    I have a friend with two piercings, one in each ear. He's not gay.

    I'd quite like an eyebrow piercing but have no desire to get an earring.

    I used to wear a silver ring and stud in my left ear, but decided to remove them when I had my hair cut worried that I might look a tad lesbian-like being still a young whippersnapper.
    Men with diamond studs in each ear has become pretty ho-hum in London, it's a staple part of the 'geezer' look.

    I'm not getting these girls with the big hooped earrings either, always seems to be accompanied with the facelift-tight ponytail, blue eyeshadow, tramp-stamp on back......no offense to anybody like!

    What about metal CRBs, circular barbells or plugs?
