I couldn’t stand bling like that.
Generally I dislike men that bling up like that, too.
I dunno what it is. But men and women that pile on the jewelry like that just set my alarms off for some reason. I want to put distance between myself and folks like that.
In the movie 300, Xerxes was festooned in bling just like that on both wrists, hands and arms. I think it was to show how decadent he was compared to the simple battle-dress of the Spartan king.
ReplyDeleteJewelry on a man's hands should be very sparing. Hard to do manual labor with all that on and keeping track of it when removed must be a real pita. Maybe that is why Man Purses were made ?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Glen. Good indication of either a jew or a prolapsed asshole.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a watch. Maybe.
ReplyDeleteI was 24 before I saw a white guy wearing jewelry around his neck. I grew up in a town of 100k and only pimps and drug-dealers wore jewelry.
ReplyDeleteThe white dude with the jewelry was in Detroit.
My career was spent servicing machinery with moving parts. You learn about jewelry real quick. I didn't even wear my wedding band until after I retired.
ReplyDeleteIt's like long fingernails. It's evidence that you don't work for a living.
ReplyDeleteA hobbleskirt for men. Men who do things would not tollerate the interference.
People from some cultures are conditioned to wear their wealth...
ReplyDeleteI hooked a wedding ring on a folding ladder once. Almost degloved my finger. I saw Admiral Nimitz's hand outlined at his museum. He was missing his left ring finger due to a botched inspection on running equipment. Gears grabbed the ring and took the finger. I quit wearing anything jewelry. Watches cause my arm to break out, rings try to amputate the digit. Thank you, no. Not anymore.
ReplyDeleteThe only Bling I wear is a wedding ring which I rarely take off (except for medical or work reasons) in my over 37 years of marriage with my first wife who is still my wife and mother of two great children who do not suffer from first world snow flake participations trophy problems.
