There seems to be this notion that a man getting both ears pierce makes him seem less masculine. I don't get it. I am a Black male so if I get both ears pierce I'm labeled a thug.

I was unaware of this, but jewelry in general seems more like a female thing to me. If you're truly a man you won't care about the stigma.

Ear piercings are associated with women, and so many men who have them are stigmatized. It's become more acceptable these days, however.

I dunno, some men look fabulous with piercings. It depends on the man and the piercings.

I'm a guy and I've had both of my ears pierced for almost 20 years now. But I'm Asian and it seems like an unwritten rule or something that we get earrings.

lol, fo sho. I'm really wanna get some Black ones for some reason. As for other responses on here I know earrings aren't for everyone and specific cultures but like someone said it depends on the person. I honestly think if your Black, dark skinned Asian or Hispanic you can't go wrong with some earrings. I know fair skin (for any race) it's give or take.

I got both ears pierced, and nobody think less of me. It's the type of earrings you wear that tells your masculinity.
