The only thing more ghey than an earring on a guy (other than another guy) would be a belly button ring; seen a couple of those at the mail...

I don't get the "I have no hair left on top so I'll grow a ugly ponytail with what I have left" look.

I've never worn an earring or ponytail since neither does anything for me. On the other hand, although I used to feel the same way as most of you, it generally no longer bothers me. They are his ears and his hair so he should do what he wants with them. If either are worn in a bizarre manner, I might shake my head but for the most part, it's fine with me. It won't have any impact at all on my opinion of the man.

I had a pierced ear in the 60's. I think the hole is still there. Don't care. No tats. No tail. Hair shorter than it used to be. I don't wear a watch I'm retired AND a musician so what does that tell you. My wedding ring and once in a while, a very heavy silver lug bracelet an artist friend made me.

Why is it that men with receding hair grow facial hair? Does that chin whisker somehow make you look like you have more hair? And don't get me stared on men who dye their hair. Toupee and hair club boys...where is my gun? Those hair coloring commercials for men are comically insulting.

They also look ridicouus driving Corvettes and Porsches. But to each his own.

What's really funny is old, overweight guys hanging around young girls. The guy thinks he's still got the stuff. She's thinking he's got the bucks. You think the Hooter girls (or Grid girls) really like middle-aged overweight men? They laugh about them when they go out with their boyfriends after work. They are paid to smile and act interested.

Well...

One of my friends is single and 50 years old. All the women he dates are in their early 20's. He doesn't much care why they are lining up to sleep with him, but they are. It does seem a little odd though.

Whoops...dangerous waters here. But to tell the truth? If I ever found one of the girls in this pic coming on to me??? I'd sure as hell know it wasn't my body she was after.

Live and let live. There are lots of things I would not do and some that I would but it certainly does not bother me when others express themselves.

We should all embrace the wisdom of teenage girls.
