    Agreed ^

    Generally I'm not a fan but there are some guys who can just pull it off. I would say I don't like them but I can think of a couple of guys I know with small stretchers who pull it off in a really hot way :sogood: and then of course there's Proudlock's dangly earring which I love, but I love it's on him if that makes any sense.

    tl;dr In general I d, but guys who can pull it off look good with them.
    So what you're saying is, attractive people look attractive (with various items of clothing and accessories)?

    Defiantly well I'm a guy so I wouldn't really say that other guys look good with them.. But I have a couple friends who have the description of piercings that you have mentioned and it actually does really suit them.. I don't really like it when male or female take it to far ( like having 30 piercings or something) but 3 sounds good I'm new to this btw.

    Just want to stop OP from making a horrible mistake.
    The only ear piercings that look passable on guys are small plugs imo, and even then it's hit or miss

    Haha yeah pretty much I mean, if you're attractive you can make most things good! The amount of times I've heard other people look at an unattractive person in a plain top and jeans and complain about them being sloppy, lazy or unfashionable yet call an attractive person in a plain top and jeans cute, fashionably understated, or effortlessly cool is incredible :lol:

    Hey, some girls dig it. I wouldn't personally rock it, but some guys can pull it off. It's not a strictly female accessory.
    Agree not strictly female but about 10 years outdated. Everyone had them back when I was in school.

    I've seen some "scene" type men wearing black studdy stretcher things and they're the only guys who can pull it off. If you're not one of them then it doesn't work in my opinion.

    And fake diamond ones are the worst.

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of the diamond ones. Black studs can look good if they suit you.

    :rofl:

    I haven't really got an opinion. They look great on some guys and really camp on others.

    I think they can look good (I have two myself) but it depends on the placement, and I'm not a big fan of getting only one side pierced.

    All in all, I wouldn't worry what others think too much - if you think you'd look good with piercings, then go for it.

    ps. it's the right ear piercing that's meant to signify a gay man.
    WTF?!
    As a homosexual, I find this offensive because it is very stereotypical!
    Lol, kidding, although, I would NEVER get an piercing, and I wasn't kidding about being gay.

    :confused: I can't tell whether you're actually offended

    i've got to say, i'm really not a fan of piercings on guys - anywhere. but if you're going to get a right ear piercing, why don't you just walk around with a t-shirt which says, hello i'm gay. although it might confuse potential suitors if they piercing's in their left ear - supposedly signifying they're a pirate
