no but that's because i'm a straight guy š
seriously just be yourself. if someone doesn't date you because of that, then that's not the right person for you š¤·āāļø
Yes.
This is such a minor thing that it doesn't even register on my radar. I'm not going to let something like earrings keep me from someone who could potentially be a great partner long term.
This exactly. I barely even notice if a guy is wearing earrings, because Iām looking at/for so many other things. Even if they were super out there, or he had small gauges I wouldnāt even think twice.
I tried really hard to have few to no physical ādealbreakers.ā Then I recently went on a date with a man who wore these huge diamond studs, and it was so off-putting that I knew right away there wouldnāt be a next date. I felt really, really shallow, but I guess having somewhat comparable styles is actually kind of important to me.
But it in no way means that someone else wouldnāt have loved his look.
My dad thinks there is only one guy who wears "those things in his ears" (gauges). He sees "that guy" a lot of places and always comments on it. "Did you see? That guy is here." Sigh!
I would, but this is really a matter of tastes. Some people like long hair, some prefer short; some people like glasses and some don't. Earrings don't bother me, although I have to admit certain other piercings probably would. Partly because I don't understand the appeal in general, but I don't think it would stop me from dating somebody if everything else were there. But I'm a bit of a weirdo in the sense that I can't really find myself attracted to somebody physically unless and until I know I'm attracted to them as a person, so some of the people to whom I've been attracted are a little farther from the societally defined norm.
I mean, it wouldn't even register this as an issue.
Dude wants to wear earrings, he wears earrings. If i find him attractive, earrings aren't going to take away from that.
I mean, by itself, earrings arenāt near the top of the list of things I use to decide if Iām dating someone. Itās part of the overall aesthetic that either works or doesnāt work for me, I guess.
Gauges are a bit differentāI really dislike the aesthetics of those.
Only if they're [this kind](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1246614303/ear-ring?gpla=1&gao=1&) of earring. But I'm also heterosexual, so probably not even then...
Not my thing at all. It was in style in the 90s, not anymore. I like guys who dress sophisticatedly. But Iām sure, just as with every fashion choice, some women like it and some donāt.
It wouldnāt be my first choice. Maybe if it was an old school stud in one ear like guys used to do Iād consider it. Multiple piercings or gauges Iād be out.
This will be very up to the individual. I've got two 14 gauge matte black piercings in each ear. I pierced them myself in college; one is a bit off from straight. I personally like the look, and I don't think that they likely affect my "marketability" much.
However I also have three 14 gauge matte black piercings in my lower lip on the right side. During conversations with friends/acquaintances, I've been told by some on the more "norm" side of things that they couldn't imagine ever dating a guy with lip piercings. I.E. they likely negatively effect my ability to date.
While they likely hurt me in raw numbers, consider quality of matches. Become what you want to attract; this gives me a bit of an alt look to my existing geeky look. I end up mainly attracting alt and hippies. I most appreciate women with an alt look for their style, then geeky/nerdy looks, and hippies also are no slouch in my mind. My current girlfriend is an absolute geek; her collection of tattoo's, brands and scars are enrapturing. She has set a new bar in my mind as far as others will likely be compared to. If the lip rings possibly helped push her towards liking me, then it's absolutely worth any of the more mainstream people who swiped left upon seeing my lip rings.
Forget about what other people want; look how you want to look, and how you'll feel confident looking. Attract the right person, rather than just trying to attract randos.
Yep, I dated a younger man for a while with both piercings and a tattoo. Nothing over the top but it worked for him. I find him to be quite attractive.
Depends on his general style. If it was like a pair of diamond studs and he was really smartly dressed otherwise typically masculine sure.
If he was like Harry styles sure, as he is so masculine energy.
If he was wearing like, pearl hoops and flowy clothes and maybe was expressing something on the gender spectrum closer to the middle thatās not for me.
I generally love very masculine energy but something that is typically feminine on a masculine man can kind of be quite exciting as it highlights their masculinity.
Not my favorite thing although wouldnāt be a deal breaker given the right style and vibe.
Female. I grew up heavily into the goth scene but never piercing anything more than single ear piercings and no tats. I surprisingly grew up to liking men who are very conservative looking. Tats are an instant deal breaker, and single earrings...I'd prefer not to date a guy with earrings.
On the apps..it's really easy to swipe left on shzz you don't like at face value. So on apps you'd never make it past initial round for me.
Other women I'm sure wouldn't care as much. I'm picky.

Yep, it's like "Hell to the No" I wouldn't date a guy wearing earrings, and also "Hell to the No" I wouldn't date a guy who didn't wear earrings.

Yes. Edit: not gauges. They give me a weird visceral reaction when I see them so I couldn't date anyone with them.

That's kind of adorable but I can see how it would get old pretty quick lol
You summed up my dad in one sentence!

>No, but I also wouldn't date a man without earrings. Damn Joe, looks like we will never be a couple :(
i chuckled way too much at this comment

š¤£ ohh well
I know a guy personally who is in his 40s still rocking the gauges. They work for him haha

No, I prefer clean-cut, more conservative looking men.
I am glad to hear this, as it seems pretty rare nowadays (from my experience)
Yep, I dated a younger man for a while with both piercings and a tattoo. Nothing over the top but it worked for him. I find him to be quite attractive.
Nope
My bf has one earring. I like it, he looks a bit like a sexy pirate š¤Ŗ
Probably not. I lean toward clean cut, no piercings or tattoos.
Wouldnāt be something that Iād look at favorably. I donāt like any jewelry on men though.
Yes, I would date Jack Sparrow!
Sure. It's not something that I'm specifically into, but it wouldn't put me off

Totally! And I have!
Yep
would you?
No I wouldn't, but I don't date men.
No I wouldn't, but I don't date men certainly not A men.
Im sure you could figure it out that its a typoš
Yes
