Do girls like guys with earrings?

[DeenasRhino]

Since my ex and I broke up, I thought of changing my style up a little.

 

I never really was the type to dress up all nice, I'm a laid back t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers type guy. Now that I'm single again and back on the market, I'm thinking of changing up my look. I need to go shopping some time for some nice clothes and start looking my best.

 

I was wondering what girls think of guys with earrings. If I do get my ears pierced, I would do both of my ears. The earrings wouldn't be TOO big. Something medium sized would be fine for me.

[HouseKitten]

Personally no. It looks a bit chavvy to me. My boyfriend had his ears pierced when he was much younger but hasn't worn earrings for years now.

 

However, that's just my taste. Some girls probably have no problem with it - do it because you'd like to, not just for women

[DeenasRhino]

I do like it and have liked it for a while now. I'm not really the type to care what other people think or feel about me but I just feel like that needs to change now that I'm single again.

 

The only problem is my parents. But I'm an adult now so I guess I shouldn't worry too much about it.

I don't like it at all, especially when they've got those awful expander rings. Ugh.

[DeenasRhino]

Yeah I'm not going to get an expander ring lol.

Maybe some small diamond studs.

 

Maybe it's an American thing. I don't know.

I love guys with all different sorts of piercings and tattoos...its not a requirement, but just my style. I have a few myself.

 

If a guy looked more clean-cut and had 2 earrings in his ears, I'd be a little confused I guess. Most of the guys I know that have pierced ears also have them gauged (expanded) and have either their eyebrows, lips, or noses done or they are prone to tattoos. Body art, if you will.

 

If it is something you want to do and it doesn't cost you a job, go for it. Everyone has a different preference in what they like.

[DeenasRhino]

Well, I am a clean cut guy. Tattoos I'm somewhat interested, perhaps on my upper arms so I can conceal it easily but I will hold off on that. You mentioned jobs which is another area of concern that I forgot to mention. I don't want my earrings to reflect on me negatively. I'd probably wouldn't wear them anyway to work but people would still be able to see the holes.

[StarFright]

Well luckily earrings on either sex are much more forgiving of all the piercings. And after a few weeks of healing time you are able to get clear plugs so they don't close up as early. People will still be able to see the holes but again, they are pretty forgiving.

I've known people with septum (the middle skin of the nose) piercings who were able to find work, and I myself held a job while wearing my lip ring. The ear lobes are harmless. I think you'll be fine

[DeenasRhino]

Yeah, unfortunately I don't find piercings on any part of the body appealing other than the ears, and maybe belly rings for girls. I will die before I get my eye/nose/lip/other pierced lol.

[Beautiful Nightmare]

I find earrings on men to be a major turn off. But if you want it, go for it. A lot of men your age have earrings these days, and most don't seem to have a problem getting a job/girlfriend.

[DeenasRhino]

I don't know about big earrings but I will be fine with something small. My ears are medium sized.

[peanutbutterandjelly]

i like small-medium plugs/tunnels on guys but thats it. definitely not diamonds.

Not my thing

[catfeeder]

One is fine. Both ears is too matchy-matchy.

[DeenasRhino]

I like to be symmetrical so that's why I would only do 2 ears. 1 ear just seems weird to me.

[LousySpy]

I've worn 2 earrings in my ears since I was 13 and those age numbers are now reversed. Just small, plain silver hoops that wrap around the bottom of my ears. Not the exact same pair for 18 years, mind

 

My ex said she found it sexy, I've no idea what anyone else thinks and I don't really care! Maybe I'll take them out before I get to 40 but for now I don't even consider them being in, they've just become a part of me and my appearance.

[Go Habs Go]

I have 3 piercings and never had a problem. I even have my cartiledge pierced too.

[DeenasRhino]

Hoops are pretty sexy too! I wouldn't mind wearing those on my ears either.

[BriarRose]

I wouldn't care. I'm kind of neutral about it.

[Applewhite]

I hate earrings on guys. So much that even if I like a guy a lot, it may be a deal breaker for me.

 

I know this very attractive, smart guy. He has hoops on both ears, I can't for the life of me understand. He would be WAY more attractive without them.

[sophie274]

I find them very unattractive, to be honest, especially studs which I just don't get on men.

[DeenasRhino]

I guess you girls are right. Maybe it's the childish part of me that wants to get my ears pierced. I can't really see myself at 30 or 40 or older with earrings.

 

How long does it take for ears to close up? And will there always be a mark from where it was pierced?

[Jpo]

I have only my left cartilage pierced and honestly a lot of people don't notice, but those that do seem to like it. It is unobtrusive, but still there. Something to consider.

I don't know about ear piercings closing up - I think if they've been pierced for a while they don't close up again. At least I've gone 3-4 months without earrings in a piercing that I have and it's stayed open just fine. You'll probably always have a mark, but it won't be particularly noticeable - I doubt people would really notice without you pointing it out.

[catfeeder]

If the holes are not fresh, they'll heal up to something you can barely notice, and nobody else will notice them. If the holes are fresh, they can close right up. Thing is, keeping them open keeps your options open.
