As I guy, I do confess wearing a ring with my birthstone on it. But now I hid it away since pure ruby is likely to be stolen here, and that ring means a lot to me. I do wear it on special occasions and festivals though and have never heard anybody call me Gay for wearing my ring .
Even my mom avoids wearing jewelery here nowadays unless its a special occasion, because a number of thieves out here recently have beat up women and stolen their jewelery. I heard happen to someone we knew just a few days back .
People wearing blingbling grills in their mouth and massive gold chains around their neck, while driving their lifted cars with spinning wheels and flames painted on it. You might fit in.
Precious, who cares what anyone thinks? If you like to wear jewelry, by all means, wear it! Yes, things are a bit different here in the south, but your earrings and necklace don't define you.
I've seen and read so many hypocrite posts on CD lately about the gay topic. Some people said that "there is no secret dress code to identify whether a guy is gay or not," yet others judge a guy based on his jewelry and clothes smh -_-
OP, you keep rocking your style and don't mind what others say. Everyone entitles to his/her own opinions.
There's a certain way a man wears his jewelry and the shape of said jewelry that would make him look gay. You know what it is. Too much of anything is gaudy. If you want to look classy and still masculine, a nice timepiece with your dress clothes is more than sufficient.
Its a compliment or envy or jealous being said you look gay

I do notice less men wearing gold necklaces and bracelets, but how does that mean you're gay if you do wear them?
On a normal day, I typically wear a nice gold chain with a crucifix that was given to me by my grandmother. I sometimes wear diamond earrings (not huge gangster ones) on occasion along with a gold watch and bracelet.
People down here have labeled me as a "Guido" just because of the chain and cross I wear. Which makes no sense because I'm not Italian...I'm black.
Are men not seen wearing gold crosses down here because Catholicism isn't dominate? Is it just an old way of thinking?
For the record, I have no problem with gay people. I just don't like being labeled like that since I'm straight.

I don't dress in order to puff up my masculinity. I wear a watch because it is useful and I like the way it looks; I couldn't possibly care less what conclusions you're drawing as you pondering the 'message' you bizarrely think I'm sending by wearing a watch. The same goes for my other jewelry - my wedding band, which I wear because I like to do so (and because doing so pleases my wife, not surprisingly), and my single earring, which I also wear because I like to do so.
