Men do like earrings - an ladies
through my� tot
a of earrings toweer, I ouad
a pair that could almost be called
antique. ► were port of a
jewellery set Mr. Bait g,;rtvc me on
my 181h birthday. These earrings
boobso cold the)* hid tate *crew
'on them. 4,
As I attacher• them to my wee
patl'k lobes, 1 wondered why jewel- .
key makers had gone to the clip
backs. For those of us who have
not had .e extra 'holes put in their
ems; these clip back* are sheer
tgrturel The nnkiority of them have
such a tight clip, one could piece
their ears without the assistance a of
a piercing gun.
I have ffound that most of my
earrings end up on my desk for
some pardon of the day, so I
questioned myself' why I insiston
wcanng them. After I had mulled
it around in my :mind,:I came up
with the answer.' If 1• don't wear
`them,: I:' dont feel completely
dressed.: itinctof litre comparing it
to that old saying like:
oing out
without your underwear -on."
Habit, I•guess.
After figuring, that out, my next
question to myself was whether.
men like seeing'eantings on
women. or do theythink they 'are
excess baggage. So to 'answer the
question.1 took, to the streets and
Posed thirst question to 21 men,
•
who'pained a wide aro range.
All of the 21 men answered they
liceon women. The
madorityftthem stared they only
like them they show good taste.
By good taste they tit not too
big and gaudy.
.replied it didn't matter
what size they were. One
gentleman.even we et so far as to •
say, that certain women can wear'
bis estge, others can't.
Some of them were, ash if
they believed earrings added to a
woman's eel-eo vethess. The
majority saidthcy thought it: did.
The one reply.I really liked was,
"You've either got it, or you
haven't got it; wearing earrings
doesn't make any difference."
Such a profound statement!,
Some of the men went ,on to say
theycouldn't understand why
women' had more than one hole v
pierced: in "each care Some of them
thought it completely ridiculous.
One gentleman said, it didn't
bother im an long as they Wore
only tiny ,studs in each hole::
Now the results • of this mini
sunrvey of course, could change, if
another 20 men were interviewed.
A friend had a.similar conver
satnon with three men recently.
The men were. all of a deferenl,
age, Mal they .all 'agreed that ear-
rt
bur- `.
rings are not nec to. dd to
the attractivenessaof a womaan; and
said they make themlook like
a man weat cote say that the
ladies wearing nummous am good for the dentist's�
:
. Hite woe implying that if .a
gentleman was to inclined to
nibble on mid lady's ears, the
meeting of his teeth and later jewel-
lery could cause disastrous results,
Well sir, I have a solution for .
you, if you are ink to do such
nibbling. If said lady would enjoy.
you'nnibbling at her eats,` I'm sure
she could be coaxed into removing.
the dangerous hardware from her
ears, thus" cnsureng you will not
harm your wady whitens.
P.S. For the menwho.suggested
I do colurtrii on what mat thought.
Of Other men wear ng earrings, I
luaY consider, doing that one �n the
future. •
