Thread: Can a guy wear earrings and still be MGTOW?

I've been thinking about getting my ears pierced and wearing earrings for quite some time, a simple stud in each earlobe. Not sure why. It's just something I've been wanting to do for awhile but haven't really worked up the nerve to go through with it.

It's not really to impress anyone - most men don't have their ears pierced and most women don't seem to like earrings on men anyway.

I think it might attract too much attention though. I do wonder how it will come across, especially at work. The company I work at allows earrings on men but not too many men wear them....especially in office positions.

I just kinda wanted to get opinions from similar minded people. Perhaps the idea is too crazy. Do you guys honestly think less of other men that wear earrings?

Nah man, there's nothing with piercing your ears. I had both of my ears pierced twice and I used to wear them up until about 10 years ago (for no apparent reason tbh). I never received anything bad for having two earrings in each ear (and I whore HOOPS!). I say go for it! If you don't like it, simply don't wear em' anymore.

Awesome! Hoops tend to be more controversial than studs for whatever reason.

That's the one advantage earrings have over tattoos, they are not permanent.

*shrug*, you should do what you want. Although be careful if your skin is prone to keloids, you could end up with some ugly growths on your ears.

Do what ever makes you feel good.

It's your life. You can do what you want. MGTOW is all about doing what you want with your life.

Do whatever you want. Your body; your choice. That's what the feminists keep saying.

I on the other hand, won't do certain things to my body and piercing it one of them, tattoos and colored hair are the others.

Depends on what you're gonna wear with those fancy ears?

I'll take number two. No, wait.

Long ago you might a stirred up some shit, but today with people poking holes in everything they got? None of our business anyway.

I'm surprised tower hasn't found a picture a somebody with 400 piercings.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't think my skin is prone to keloids (honestly have never heard of that word) but I hear it's not good to sleep on piercings.

True although some women really get out of control with tattoos and piercings.

I get it. There was a time I wouldn't get piercings. Strangely never really considered it until I was well into my 30s. I think I would stop at one piecing in each ear and leave it at that. As for tattoos, I can't really think of anything I would want on me permanently. Some women really are obsessed with this stuff. I don't mind multiple EAR piercings on women, maybe a small tattoo, but anything beyond that is a turn off IMO. Not that I'm looking to date anyway but I'm just referring to aesthetics.

Ha! The last ones are cool but probably too big for work as they have a limit set for men (women can wear large dangly earrings and multiple piercings in each ear tho lol).

I was thinking a small black, silver, or diamond stud. Or a stud that looks like a plug but I wouldn't get ears stretched or anything like that.

Weird question lol. Do whatever you want with your body.

Except resist the Nazis Vax mandate, otherwise you'll loose your job, your pension, and lively hood, because they think it's your body, their choice, and your consequences!

No-one here gives a shit, and that's the beauty of it. Back in the day, piercing the right ear meant you were gay. Piercing the left meant nothing. These days? Fucked if I know.

It all depends on what you hope to achieve at the office. IMO, a man who wears earrings is not professional and much less likely to advance within the company. Speaking strictly for myself, a man with earrings creeps me out.
In any event, too "blue pill".

Go for it, but I strongly recommend that you avoid ear gauges. I've known a number of men who have been turned down for jobs due to having distended ear tissue, and the surgery to fix them is expensive, ESPECIALLY if you don't have said job.

Weird? Maybe. I just kinda wanted to run it by some like-minded people. If I were to post on a piercing forum, everyone would be like "go for it". If I were to post on some career forum with people wanted to climb the corporate ladder, most would probably be against.

That's something else I've been thinking about. My employer does not currently have a vax mandate although I can see them possibly doing it in the future. They're having a hard time finding and keeping employees so hopefully it doesn't happen for awhile if at all.

Ha! I have heard something like that. I'd just do both sides.
