if you got it on left ear it's gay and right ear is regular sexuality?

Even an old man like me, who grew up when men did not wear jewelry, knows that:

"Right is Wrong and Left is Right"

I am pretty sure the good version of this should be: Right is Wrong and Left is Wrong too!


I know it's all a personal taste thing, but I honestly never seen a guy on which the earring looks good. It's either bad or very bad -->IN MY OPINION.


But well, to each our own preferences!

Until about the mid-1970s there were lots of subtle gay signals, such as wearing a scarf around your neck (100% gay, of course) but if the knot was on the left it meant you preferred one thing, and if the knot was on the right it meant that you liked something else.

It was all very arcane and I never knew much about it, but I was scared and embarrassed one day when I was leaning up against a wall with 1 foot on the ground and the other knee bent with the sole of my foot flat against the wall. I was approached, pretty aggressively, by some ruffians who took it as a signal that I was looking for gay action.

I saw no post yet saying gay was bad. And when I say that I consider earrings to look bad on guys, I include both gays and non-gays equally. You just can't blame people for putting the word gay in a phrase. Do it if they judge or insult gay people, not just talk about gays in general with no ill wording/intention...

It's implicit in a post like this.  While it's not flat out started, it is a part of the subtext and implied by the context and responses.  It treats being gay as a negative thing and ostracized those who do things others might consider to be stereotypically gay.

Hence the moderate size. Although his tattoos are pretty legit. And his ears seem okay with his appearance.

IMO - it's like any fashion. Some people look great with earrings, some don't. Your overall style and presence says way more about you than one little thing like an earring.

That being said, I personally tend to like small gauges on most people

Gays can't reproduce with -each other-..  but they certainly CAN reproduce.

and the fact that gays exist is proof of that..

The percentage of gays as part of the total population is not CURRENTLY the majority..


But it stands to reason, that perhaps in the future when we have a completely functional artificial-womb..  that maybe everyone would be gay, or at least a-sexual, because there'd be no point to pair bond..  or to produce women..

It was all very arcane and I never knew much about it, but I was scared and embarrassed one day when I was leaning up against a wall with 1 foot on the ground and the other knee bent with the sole of my foot flat against the wall. I was approached, pretty aggressively, by some ruffians who took it as a signal that I was looking for gay action.

AHAHA that's insane. It's such a comfortable way to stand.

I very vividly remember an episode of Rocket Power where the "cool older kids" were standing like that, and one of the kids started standing like that to fit in with their crowd.  The whole episode was about fitting in with them.  Can't find a clip though.  Probably doesn't matter, since it's not really relevant, other than to say that I've never heard of this that fohat is mentioning.

Anyone with ears can wear earrings, and can pull them off if they don't have hangups about them. Just make sure you get them pierced properly and be aware of any metal allergies you have (or may develop).

I agree. So many people have had tattoos and piercings/gauges for so many years now that it's too common place to judge people's work ethic etc on. I'm sure at one point in time this was true, but there was also a time where people wouldn't hire you if you had long (and not even that long) hair. Those days are gone. Same with tats and piercings I would say. Save for a few judgmental jackasses.

And it's all well and good to believe in equality and non-judging behavior, but your positive thoughts aren't going to change what some hiring manager is thinking about you. You are just being naive if you truly think you aren't being judged and micro-visually criticized by the people you speak to on a daily biases. Even if they don't mean to people still do it, it's not your fault.

Here in San Francisco, tattoos and piercings don’t even merit a second glance. There are so many people in all leather, or with traditional clothes from somewhere half around the world, or cross-dressing outrageously, or dressed like clowns, etc., or sometimes just naked, that it’s hard to define “normal”.

A few months ago a I passed a guy on the street who was clearly a wizard. He was wearing a long flowing dark blue/purple robe, had a long white beard, and some kind of robe-matching hat, and he was striding down the sidewalk with the most wizardly gait I’ve ever seen, natural as can be. Like, he didn’t seem like a dude in a costume, but rather like that was just his normal everyday style.

Dudes with earrings? What is this, 1995?

Some guys wear gauges, but they look gross. I think the people who wear them know they look gross too.

You have been banned from The Church of The Girlshark Wizbro.

I honestly haven't seen a guy wearing a stud since the early 2000s, and everyone I've met with gauges regrets them.

Oh no, noisy doesn't like my gauges.

I'm sure it's the first thing employers notice 

Real talk though, if he is qualified, intelligent, capable and able to dress appropriately they wont care.
A friend of the family works for one of the biggest European banks and has done for over 20 years now, he brokers deals between banks and earns insane money. Yet he barely wears clothes, has been arrested for drug charges and barely goes to work.

The notion that you can't get a job becasue your tats will show or something like that is just dumb and unfounded. In the real world the people best suited for the job get the jobs, not the people who look the prettiest or have the best kept suit.

Um...
Yea.....

I wish that was the case.....

But.. there's been mounting research that says prettier people DO get an uneven appraisal despite equivalent performance.

That's true I guess. I mean, you only have to look at the leaders most developed nations of the last 100+ years. All babes.

customer service jobs DEFINITELY rate appearance.  pretty girls > regular girls > guys.

why?  people are less likely to complain if the csr is a girl.  not counting the very small demographic of publicly sexist people who complain more if it IS a girl.

EDIT:

oh, and my school had a 'scandal' where the hiring manager admitted to hiring the female teacher because she was better looking.

He should've said, the kids paid more attention in class due to the teacher's appearance.

Damn... so much hate for earrings on guys in this thread...

I used to have 5 earrings, 2 of which were small gauges... 

They're all closed up though... took them out senior year of college for job interviews...

That's one of those "exceptions that proves the rule" examples.

On the other hand, I've spent my entire professional life in IT in banking/finance environments (London, Hong Kong and NY) and have only noticed one person with exposed tatoos. And he had come out of the Royal Navy, so it was hardly surprising. I've known people with tatoos, but they were always in places that were covered by work clothing.

Thinking that appearances don't matter is naive. Appearances always matter, whether overtly or subconciously in the mind of interviewers and hiring managers. So do non-visual cues like someone's tone of voice or the presence of body odour. If you've ever spent time in front office banking environments, or private wealth management, you'd have noticed that the concentration of hot women improves drastically. Not because they are smarter than plain women, but because they can sell.

A black guy or latino with sagging pants.

What do hot women have to do with earrings on men?

Appearances matter, but what matters more is ability. I've worked in the commercial IT world for a while and deal with tons of sales guys from companies all over the world. Most of them are men and most of them are pretty ugly looking dudes (least from what I can tell).
The notion that beauty simply wins over everything else is mostly not true unless your working in TV or something.

But enough derailing this thread over something that non of us have done extensive studies on.

My point was that an earring isn't some insane taboo anymore that would mean you don't get a job. Employers for the most part couldn't give a **** as long as your clean, dress appropriatly and can do the job.

[Novus]

Ability is an illusion.
You are always replaceable with somebody younger with better credentials. You can't be complete unskilled but at the end of the day ability really amounts to jack **** if you can't play the game.

[iri]

Employers for the most part don't give a **** as long as you are clean, don't smell and can do the job.

[baldgye]

Ability is not something you can always gauge and frankly ability is over rated.
People without ability are always in positions of power.
Being good looking (with social skills and charm) and a average ability is much more useful than just being skilled.

Maybe if you've never worked before?

No, becasue once you start working in industry and you move jobs you get positions from or via recommendations or head hunted. This is where your ability to do the job far outshines any qualifications you have. It's why the blokes in the best positions are usually the worst qualified yet the most able, it's also why kids out of uni don't get those kinds of jobs.

What are you even talking about, management?
From my experience management work up the ladder pretty much in house or are head hunted from other management positions. You get in at the ground level and work your way up... again, off your ability to do the job.
Unless your talking CEO type ****, in which case that's pretty much all on you to be an entrepreneur.

If you look at the most successful people in the modern world you can go at it two ways, money or politics (I sperate them becasue to be successful in politics you have to be popular and be able to rally people, where as to be wealthy you need other qualities).
The richest people on the planet (via working) are usually pretty ugly blokes, not pretty blondes with blue eyes and big tits. The most successful politicians (world leaders) are usually old not very attractive men or women.

I'm not saying that looks don't help, becasue ofc they do. But when it comes to doing a job that is important in some way, they don't give a **** if your pretty or not or have earrings.


But anyway I don't even have ****ing earrings so I'm bow out of this and let someone who does chat more about there experiences with this.
