How do men feel about jewelry...

....that doesn't come off?

I have quite a bit of jewelry that doesn't come off. and I don't mean the catholic girl that never removes her cross....I mean things that are tied or woven on and can't come off unless cut off. which isn't going to happen.

No one has ever minded my anklets and bracelets and such, but I just got my first un-removable necklace, and I'm wondering how a partner in the future may react to that.

 

If I started dating a guy who wore permanant jewelry I would be immediately suspicious that a former girlfriend had given it to him.

 

I have three jelly bangles on each wrist that due to sun exposure has almost completely solidified so it's not stretchy.. I'd have to cut them off to remove them, which isn't happening. But then again, I have peircings and short of important business meetings I don't take out. My jewelry is perminent even if it can be removed. It becomes a part of me like a tattoo would.

 

haha! I had those too for a while in high school. Put them on my freshman year, and finally went crazy in my junior year and cut em off.

 

I by the lady jewelery so that she goes "ahhhhhh, that's so sweeeeeet" and I get brownie points. I wanted to get her some real stones/expensive stuff for Christmas, but when I walked in the door, everything was like $400 and up. And it wasn't even that nice. I went to the cheap jewelery place down the hall and bought her some $20 earing and a $30 necklace, and everyone compliments her on them. She would have never known the difference if it was real......

But I think jewelery is for her own sake. Not particularly attractive, not a turn off. Although I'm sure there are lots of guys here who are all about the Bling Bling, which I think is stupid.........

 

My jewelry is never expensive so that defeats the purpose of "bling bling." Hell, I'm alergic to gold. To me, jewelry is an expression of self.

 

Wouldn't really make any difference to me, except for something such as ^that^.

 

So what? It's jewellery.

Who cares if the guy has an ex-girlfriend. Unless you met him fresh out of the seminary, every guy does.

Deal with it.

He ain't with her, he's with you.

 

The only thing that bothers me is if the guy still wears his wedding ring. Even if it's just put on the opposite hand. Only cause that's very symbolic. However, say an ex bought him a ring for his bday that he really really wanted and liked and he didn't wear it on his ring finger.. as long as his attachment to the jewelry isn't the girl then I'm cool with it.

Symbolic of what?

The fact that he once had a relationship so good he actually wanted to spend the rest of his life with the other person?

Jealous you didn't get there first?

I don't get it.

 

I don't care if he KEEPS the ring.. I don't expect him to forget his past but a guy that still wears his wedding ring means he isn't over his ex therefore his feelings for me wouldn't be able to grow until he got over that. I'm hardly the jealous type.

If I ever got divorced I'd continue to wear that ring. My marraige is and always will be a big part of my life. It's not something to "get over". If you move on, you move on, but you're not gonna deny that part of your life and the commitments you made. Especially not for some new woman with low self esteem who wants to pretend she's the first person you ever met.

 

Um, if the marriage is over, you gotta lose the ring. Continuing to wear it is dwelling on the past, and a barrier to the future, especially in the eyes of any potential new love. Gotta agree with Weeble.

And about the Bling Bling....I consider that wearing excessive, expensive looking jewellery to say your rich and cool. Not like piercings which are expressions of ones self.

 

Meh I don't really care about jewelry...

I have 3 necklaces and 2 rings and a bracelet, but they are in no way on all the time...

 

i'm getting 'off-topic' but this reminds me how i went swimming with my friend and it was kinda crazy situation. So we had all our clothes on, i mean jeans and tops and everything... and since i was actually very well dressed, special designer stuff.. so i was like' oohh shit' and then my girlfriend said ' ooops, i should have taken off my jewelry at least, i love these diamonds!' Yes, she was wearing real diamonds!

 

I think a wedding ring would bug me and a lot of non-husbands. For multiple reasons. What really bugs me is the girls that wear a ring on their ring finger. I'm not sure why, but I kind of view marriage as sacred. Not that I'm against divorce, but that finger just seems... different.

I also dislike those sex bracelets: the ones that indicate different things that you pull off. Stupid idea.

 

I never remove my bracelets, anklets, or neckleces... and if I find a girl that does the same, then it's defenatly a turn on.

 

No problems with jewelery here.

For some reason, ankle bracelets are sexy as hell. They always turn me on, no matter what.

 

!

 

I agree with Therfore..., anklets are really sexy. i like to see girls wearing jewellery, reminds me that they are girls. i have a ring i almost never take off.

Peace
