I read (don't recall precisely where...) that guys with neck tattoos are very often criminals.

I wonder - is this so?

I know the few I've personally witnessed gave off a certain je ne sais quoi (for the Annoyed Man) of criminality. Were they? Was my instant judgement unfair? Maybe..., but I know most of the time my radar for such things has proven to be right on the money.

If being an egalitarian about other's appearance makes you feel righteousness, ...O.K., as for me, I'm going to judge a book by it's cover until and unless I learn better...

My thread was started as a discussion topic. True enough, it's judgemental, but also tongue in cheek.

I was motivated to post this topic by witnessing the day before in Academy, a guy wearing two, rather large, rhinestone encrusted earrings his grandmother would be proud of. Funny stuff.

And for me at least, thought provoking.

All input's appreciated.

Any more?

Yeah, seafaring men of old sometimes wore a small gold earring, but now there's a certain male group wearing not one, but two earrings. That is, one in each ear. Yikes!

Sporting an earring in each ear is the new in thing for these, ah, males, and not for laughs either. These guys obviously think it looks, well, good...

Since some males are now sporting highlights in their hair, shaving their chests and backs and in some cases adopting girly worries about their appearance, I wonder what next?

After this, what'll be the new in thing? Purses for men? No, wait, that's already happening... Hhhhmmmm O.K. Ball gowns? False eyelashes? Rhinestone glass's frames? (Elton John doesn't count, or does he...?)

I shudder to think what some guys will come up with and won't bat an indignant eyelash when they defend their newest fashion accessory.

Us knuckle dragging types wonder why these males don't see how very feminized they're becoming? Being clean and neat in appearance used to be the standard, but apparently that isn't good enough for some.

Perhaps father-less children are the reason for these developments? Or liberal over wash in the public school system? You know, the one that doesn't approve of score keeping and emphasizes self-esteem over everything.

What do you think about this phenomenon?
