They add no attractiveness to women for me and make men seem like women. In short, a silly waste of money. Your thoughts will be treated respect should you have any...
 

Women traditionally to call attention to an attractive feature.

Men because they are ae inadequate and have no personality and have to draw people's attention somehow.
 
Why do people wear any jewelry? It has no functional purpose.. but it's pretty... and I guess it can be considered a status symbol.. Gold and gemstones cost lots of money..
 

Traditionally, jewelry became popular as a way to keep individual wealth easily portable ............ if ya gotta leave town in a hurry, don't want to leave your wealth behind
 
Hmmm. For centuries, men wore earrings, high heels, stockings, wigs, etc. it was fashionable. My nephew, who is a physician working with Medecin Sans Fronteres, wears earrings. I assure you, he neither lacks personality, or adequacy. It is a fashion

statement, nothing more. Certainly, an individual who devotes his life to serving others in war torn countries, is not an attention whore. I suspect this may be a generational bias. By the way, many women believe that earrings are very attractive

additions to their wardrobe. Some of us may undress for men, but dress for ourselves!
 
OK, if I decide to "rock" some, do I have to get my ears pierced?
 
Ahh, a masked ball, I'll be there, but you might not get to see my hairy legs...
 
I like just simple stud type on women but not the big dangle down or hoop things.......mama wears just single studs of diamond, pearl and 18k gold.

I'm not too keen on men wearing earrings but to each his own I guess.

While we're on the subject what's the deal with some kids now days with those big coat button looking things in their ear lobes ?
 
I believe that "in days of yore" sailors/fishermen wore an earring, so that if they fell overboard, and were washed ashore, the value of the gold would pay for their funeral. Therefore they wouldn't end up with a paupers burial.
 
It's 2015...........we can wear what we like. My SIL is a very manly guy and has a stud in his tongue. Would I do that?......No but it's his choice and it doesn't seem to matter to his friends and family so it's no big deal.
 
I have pierced ears and usually wear earrings daily. But while I understand tattoos...although when they're full sleeve or beyond then you might be a bit over the top...I don't understand multi piercings, I don't think " ooh cool" but rather "owww that had to hurt". Especially the new trend of a bull ring in your nose or earrings all the way up the ear. People I knew back in the day that had that look usually were on some serious meds. Now people rock the look on the red carpet.
