It's Friday!!!

Ok. What does it mean - or what is implied when a Christian man wears earings? Is this just a cool thing to do? Does the bible say anything about this?
Waiting for an answer..

Nothing "spiritual" about it... it just looks cool. :D

No big particular message coming from earrings on men in the West any more.

You can do a Bible search and look up cultural history stuff, and find men have always worn earrings.

IMO I think people who stand up and try to make a Bible thing, a doctrinal thing, a righteousness-and-sin thing, out of a man in earrings, are building on sand.

(These may be legends, but they seem plausible to me.)

-Sailors wore earrings so that, if he died while far away from home, someone would sell the earring and use the proceeds to send the sailor's body home.

-The part of the earlobe where the earring goes corresponds to the acupuncture point that improves eyesight.
