Should a guy get a belly button piercing?

Yes! Boys also wear navel jewelry. It is a common misconception that navel piercing is for women. Many males who get their navel pierced opt for the dual piercing (two piercings at the top of the navel) or a piercing that includes the lower part of the belly button.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

They're perceived as feminine, but like what exactly is feminine about it?

It's not like guys wear crop tops so who would see it? Only at the beach do guys shirtless

They used to. Jocks in the 80's wore crop tops. But yeah, dudes go shirtless. They get tatoos on their backs you can only see when shirtless.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

I don't know, I haven't really thought about it. What about nipple piercings?

Speaking of gender, with all the "theys," I wonder if there will add a "nonbinary" category to the Oscars someday or if they'll just merge the actor/actress categories into one.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

I see more of that. That reminds me lol… 2 dudes a friend and I skateboarded with pierced each other's nips, and they alcame to skate right after, and the sweat made their nipples burn lol.

"Speaking of gender, with all the "theys," I wonder if there will add a "nonbinary" category to the Oscars someday or if they'll just merge the actor/actress categories into one."

They will always feel like they have to give an Oscar to a man and a woman.
Now they might have a tranny win it and that tranny would be the wanna be gender it is fooling itself into thinking it is.
Which of course means that if it is M-F then it would steal the award from a 100% since birth female and that would not be right.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

It's possible they'll change it:

Other awards ceremonies have begun to use gender-neutral acting categories. For example, the Independent Spirit Awards decided to merge the gendered acting categories to create Best Lead Performance and Best Supporting Performance. Each category now has ten nominees rather than the previous five.

The article also says,

It's unfair and even degrading to ask nonbinary actors to choose either to be excluded from awards ceremonies altogether or misgender themselves when submitting for consideration under either actor or actress. Furthermore, as actor Asia Kate Dillon noted when interviewed by NPR, if nonbinary performers are able to submit under whichever gender category they choose, then the categories are arbitrary and redundant anyway.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

This is making my head spin.
It was so much more simple before all this gender BS even just like five years ago.

Like I need another reason to not care for awards shows?

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Nah, it was always complicated, just used to be more heteronormative. Lioe you mentioned an example.

Like men with ear piercings. The rules are dumb. Some people would think you're gay for getting your ear pierced at all. My grandfather would have probably called you a faggot for that or having your hair long.

Gender rules are stupidz and it's good and simpler now that we're breaking away from them.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

"like what exactly is feminine about it?"

Maybe because it is seen more on girls or it was seen on them first.

A girl with a pierced belly button is sexy.
A dude with a hairy stomach and a pierced belly button is not and that could look gay.
Or to me on a chick it looks sexy while on a dude it just looks wrong.

One time I shared on here I have a pierced ear, just the one, and a couple posters said that was gay.
I dunno if they were serious or trolling.

At the time I got it they said the right ear meant gay and the left meant straight so of course I have it in the left.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Yeah, it might be that girls were the first to do it, but that's lame cootie mentality. I wonder if it is juat that. But I wonder why it caught on with them first. Maybe fashion, but how come back tats aren't seen as feminine even though women wear clothes with an exposed back more than men?

Gender norms are dumb.

I don't think the left or right ear thing matters anymore. And that's another dumb thing. Like what makes ear choice gay or straight lol? Maybe back in the day when being gay wasn't as accepted z it started as a dog whistle, but then people caught on.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

That reminds me of how you'll see female news anchors, meteorologists, etc., wear sleeveless tops, yet their male counterparts never do. Why is that? I'd rather look at muscular male arms when watching the news. Not just the local news; imagine a sleeveless Anderson Cooper, Lester Holt, Tucker Carlson, etc.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

As always you bring up interesting things to talk and think about.

Because men have less fashion choices when it comes to workplace clothes of suits and ties, which they are traditionally expected to wear, which makes it more boring for the limitations.

I don't get it either why it is more acceptable for women than men where the former has many more choices of outfits, colors, styles etc. and why men have the dress code for suits and ties.

In some settings it has changed to where just a jacket and tie is now acceptable though not on the air for some reason.

I also think about how far we have come with being comfortable by wearing shorts and T shirts, swim suits etc compared to earlier times where they wore long sleeves and layers even on hot days.
And if the clothes will get any smaller or perhaps wearing nothing at all will be acceptable.
Maybe we will go back to fig leaves?

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Thanks. That's true about colors too; male anchors usually wear suits that are gray, black, or blue, but female anchors wear those colors along with purple, red, white, etc.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Recently you watched the Oscars where the women have a heck of a lot more variety where the B & W tux gets boring.

The Rock wore a pink one to be different, I guess, but to me even that looked wrong.
Oh well. At least he tried.

I don't mean to be one of those perverts by asking this and I dunno how else to ask…

What types of clothes do you mostly wear?

Do you have anything formal or nice/fancy to wear for the occasion?

"Please vote to preserve the unique character of Warren…" - Robert Duvall

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

I almost mentioned that too about awards shows; from the little bit of red carpet fashion talk I've seen, they talk about what the women wear and ask them, "Who are you wearing?" But men usually just wear standard tuxes, so they're not asked that. It's much easier for them to figure out what to wear, and probably more comfortable too (and cheaper, although some of the women, especially the nominees, probably received clothes for free). I liked that Sarah Polley wore a tux to the Oscars; and she still looked "feminine" too, that didn't make her "look like a man" or anything.

I saw way too many boob bits during the Oscars, but if a guy had his parts hanging out of his pants zipper, they'd never allow that. And that's what most people would rather see.

I mostly wear casual clothes and I have nicer clothes when needed, but nothing glamorous. I'm not really into fashion. What about you?

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Same here.
T shirts all year round, sweats in the winter and shorts in the summer.

I have dress shirts and ties when needed which is not very often.

I dunno dude, kinda gay.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Yeah, but why is it perceived that way?

Dude I don't get why we get compared. You're way too insecure about your manhood to be anything like me.

I know a guy who has his belly button pierced but he's completely covered in tattoos and piercings anyway but other than that, I can't think of ever seeing a guy with it. It does seem more a girly thing for some reason even though other piercings, like nipples, seem more equal.

I think I would probably associate eyebrow piercings more with guys though 🤔

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Reminds me of the old ear piercing rules for guys. Left ear is straight. Right is gay… but both ears is acceptable all around. At least that's how it was when I was a kid.

ᴳᵒ ᶠᵘᶜᵏ ʸᵒᵘʳˢᵉˡᶠ

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Yeah I remember that and there would be the poor unfortunate kid who got the wrong ear done and so that was the end of his street cred 😂

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Wasn't sure if that extended outside the US.

ᴳᵒ ᶠᵘᶜᵏ ʸᵒᵘʳˢᵉˡᶠ

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Because it’s associated with woman and homosexuals. Most men do not identify as women or homosexuals.

Cheerio.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Why does anyone get their bellybutton pierced? It seems pointless.

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

For the same reason we're not all buying clothes in only natural colors. It's a fashion choice, usually.

ᴳᵒ ᶠᵘᶜᵏ ʸᵒᵘʳˢᵉˡᶠ

Re: How come dudes don't get their bellybuttons pierced?

Because it's gay af. Most piercings looks ridiculous regardless of gender tbh.

My daughter said she wanted her septum piercing and I told her she would look like a butch lesbian. Looks so gross.
