To not like men wearing jewellery ... do you?

[BeatriceBatchelor]

I don't mind a watch or wedding ring but don't like a necklace, bracelet or earring on a man.

I'm generally attracted to the rocker type so jewellery tends to be part of that and I have zero issue with that. A gold chain, fat tacky gold old man rings, huge bling watch, however not my thing.

A leather bracelet on a tanned, veiny/tendon-y forearm is my kryptonite though. Tends to be a guitar/bass player thing. I married a bass player 😂

I like a nice chain and a nice watch on a man. I cant stand rings on men bar a wedding ring.

So all Sikhs look gay or common?

Depends.

'Alternative' guy - yes!
Member of a K-pop band - yes!

Man in a cagoule - no!

Nope I can't stand it. I don't know why but I hate jewellery on men.

Another strong contender for worst of Mumsnet. FFS 🙄

I think this also is a conrender for most post on here, on a thread about men wearing jewellery. WTF.

As much as I don't really care for men wearing jewellery, it's possible for both sexes to overdo it. A young lady I see often has five piercings in each ear plus two in her right nostril. With all that metal on her mush, she could easily pass for a Cyberwoman on the set of Doctor Who.

Young men with hot, tanned bodies can pull this off.

Gold, chunky jewellery on older men in particular, signer rings and necklaces etc is naff as fuck. Shudder.

It depends on the person and what they like.
I remember years ago sovereign and krugerand rings were a thing, and I really thought they were very Delboyish, as well as thick belcher , curb and rope chains, but they were a fashion and I am sure most men moved on from them.
A bit like the horrific gold clown and doll on chains years ago, but you never see anyone wearing them now.
My husband just wears a wedding band, sometimes a watch, but not very often.

Hate it.
my dad wears a ring and a medallion - he’s over 85. Always worn it.
chains on men and anything other than a wedding ring are a massive no from me.

His body, his choice.

I dont particularly like those gold chains etc men wear.

But I kind like the long haird alternative/rocker types so I do like piercings. A nipple ring on guy is a welcome sexy surprise.

However men are free to dress and wear whatever they want and whether I like it or not is irrelevant. Their body their choice.

I like jewellery on men and women. Too much looks OTT on either sex. I have a friend who wears loads. She thinks she looks great. I think she looks a human jewellery rack 🤣

I agree with their body their choice, but also others have the choice to find anything they like unattractive on others.

I think even though I'm not a fan of jewellery on men , it wouldn't be a dealbreaker if they had other things going for them.

I don't care. I don't like wearing jewellery. I'm on the spectrum and it feels uncomfortable so I tend to take it off or I lose or break it.I know that most women of my age wear expensive stuff and look sophisticated so I guess I'm being judged.

I'm not a fan.

My daughter made my husband a very garish loom band bracelet once and he wore it for months, I could get on board with that as it was very sweet. But generally no thanks.

No judgement here. I haven't worn gold since I was a teenager and I finally got my ear lobes pierced with those 9 carat gold stud things.

Now my ears are full of bars and rings. 😂 surgical steal or titanium or whatever it is they use.

I'm sure that puts many men off too bit I dont give a shit.

. I grew up in the 1970's and this was a very common view back then in my experience. Not condoning it, just saying.

I think it depends on the man whether it suits him. It's not a deal breaker regardless.

If I wear a wedding ring, my DH is too. Simple only.

Rock/goth type jewellery, fine by me. I grew up in the 70s and 80s after all.

Big blingy gold chains and sovvy rings, no thank you.

Overall I am really not all that fussed.

Jewellery isn’t really my taste in general so no, I wouldn’t find a man adorned in it attractive. A watch and wedding ring is as far as it goes for me.

Depends how well they wear it, really. Some men get it right, others, not so well. I’ve always been suspicious of men with a signet ring on their pinky, though!

DP has rings n bling I dont mind, it suits him. & my culture makes good Gold so its usual. Sexist jewellery snobs is a new one on me
