There's not much difference in function between a pair of fitted black boxer briefs and a pair of pink lace frilled panties. Both offer some measure of support and cover but I know which one I'll be wearing.

Pink you say? Well, that changes everything.

Perhaps you should look up the meaning of aesthetics before you quote and respond.

I think that this may be an age thing, a bit like untucked shirts, tattoos, etc.

Are you 25+? For many grown-up men, a nice watch is the thing to wear. Bracelets look kiddish. This is a subjective statement, of course.

I actually used to live by this, but until recently I have been wearing watches to work, and find myself never having to reach into my pocket, pull out my cell phone, unlock my cell phone, to then have to screen lock it again, and place it back into my pocket, at most I now only have to pull back my shirt sleeve a bit to tell the time AND the date.

I do agree wearing a watch is like wearing a bracelet, but for me it does serve a purpose.

And when I wear my Invicta 50+mm large faced watch, my friends can even tell the time from across the room!

I'm over 25. I wouldn't wear them either because it looks odd on me, but you see them on italians all the time and it looks good. They're obviously not for everyone, but to say all men shouldn't wear bracelets is rather close-minded. No doubt said by guys that are insecure about people thinking that they're gay.

I think you fail to see the melodrama in some answers.

I would never say (well, not seriously) that all men shouldn't wear bracelets. That said ... I personally don't think they look good on men ... but that's just my opinion. But ... I'm not going to kick a handsome fellow out of bed for wearing one ... which brings me to your next point.

As for the supposed gay fear ... that's odd ... as I've never associated braclets with gay men ... but rather with tacky men.

Either this is a troll thread or?????????i dont fckin know but do you think advertising that you get jewelery from Walmart was a wise idea?

get a watch, then move on.at your price range i figure you need to save up for a few years before purchasing any jewelery!Then when you get the money do yourself a favor and go to a jeweler....

No, I don't think it looks gay. It looks a bit silly on most men. But that is just my impression. This is not changed by the fact that many Italians wear them. Though the avarage Italian probably dresses better than the average of any other European country, I still see a lot of silly things in Italy.

Here's a bracelet and t-shirt that up until now, most men probably didn't think they could wear.
