What do Russians think of guys who wear earrings?
Earrings are a common thing for the Gypsy ethnic group. This is how they celebrate their older and younger sons, who will take care of their elderly parents. One earring in the right ear says that he is the oldest son, one earring in the left ear says that he is the youngest son. The eldest son is obliged to help his father, the youngest son is obliged to help his mother. Two earrings in both ears say that this guy is the only son of his parents and their only protector in old age. Guys with earrings in their ears should not be beaten in a fight, so as not to leave elderly parents without a breadwinner in old age.
The Russian ethnic group does not use earrings for men, only for women. Namun, young men, becoming fans of a subculture, can use earrings. Usually adults treat this hobby with patience and understanding. After the final adulthood, men remove these earrings themselves. Usually the earrings are kept only by the artists.
My ex-spouse also used an earring in his ear when he was young, in the 1990s. He had long hair and was into punk rock. His favorite artist was punk Yegor Letov:
But before his 30th birthday, he got rid of earrings, long hair and leather jackets with metal decorations. He has matured. But he still loves punk rock music. Here is his favorite music:
How do women feel about this? As a demonstrative personality type, a hysteroid with artistic abilities, belonging to a subculture. Personally, I avoid people who demonstrate their belonging to subcultures, no matter which of them: music, prison subculture or religion. I just avoid communicating with these guys, they may be inadequate.
Lol, my mom said rigth now that she has a disgust for men with earrings, because she associates them with gays (the prison subculture of Russia – that’s marker for homosexuals in prisons) and with gypsies (these guys don’t have the best reputation).
