What Men Are Really Saying when They Wear Earrings

Women have tried to figure out just what men are thinking for centuries. While men claim that it is women who are hard to decipher, the truth is actually the opposite. "What does he really think of me?" or "What does it mean when he doesn't call?" are age old questions. The real kicker came when men began wearing earrings again. While women do not technically disagree with this fashion statement, many do wonder just what it is that a man is trying to say when he sports jewelry in his ears.

So, if you want to know what your man, or the man you want to be your man, is thinking when he sticks in that earring, here is a little tell-tale that men think women do not know:

Diamond Studs
This refers to diamond stud earrings, not a diamond wearing stud. If a man sports a diamond stud, chances are he is trying to impress you into thinking that he's rich and sexy. Diamonds are normally worn by the rich and famous, right? When a man puts that diamond stud in his ear, he wants you to take notice – take notice of his fancy duds that is.

Hoops
Now first, if your man is wearing "hooker hoops" or those that are large enough you can stick your hand through them, you may want to reconsider your relationship. Hoops this large are a stretch even for women. When men wear them there is a good chance he is saying something that you do not want to hear. If he is wearing a smaller hoop, he wants you to think that he's dangerous. You know, Rebel Without a Cause type dangerous.

Studs
Again, not studs as in hot men, studs as in gold, platinum or silver earrings. Here, he is thinking that maybe you feel his earring is sexy but he is not quite ready to show you his "diamond stud sexy guy" earrings. Regular guys normally wear regular studs.

Whatever earring your guy is wearing, know that he is likely wearing it for you. Most men choose
earrings that they think will impress the ladies. Now, if he's wearing more jewelry than you or if he takes your earrings to wear, you may have a problem. Otherwise, enjoy his new found sexiness.
