It depends on many factors. Usually I don't like any kind of piercing on a guy, but if the guy is buff and already very masculine looking, the earrings won't make him feminine, but still, I really don't find anything appealing in them.
And one is less bothering than 2 ears pierced.

For example this guy is still very masculine even with the earring, but I would still prefer him without it.
no. wearing earrings is cultural.
This is the head of a Sassanian king.

You wouldn't find more manly men than Iranian Khshathria, the warrior class, in that era and they wore earrings.
Wearing earrings or jewelry doesn't have anything to do with masculinity, neither does having a beard.
Masculinity is determined by control, dominance, Charisma, and logic.
Ear piercing was originally associated with rank and status, not gender. High heeled shoes were also originally invented for men, to give them an added height advantage, or to stand above the filth in the streets. Corsets were worn by both genders, as they assisted with posture and could make you seem taller by forcing you to carry yourself higher.
Not necessarily.. I have however noticed that the men who get ear piercings tend to be more vain about their appearance, and oftentimes well-groomed and stylish overall. I wouldn't say they're more feminine. I actually find it quite attractive (assuming the guy is hot as well.)
Never been a big piercing fan myself. I've never had one and don't have any interest in getting one. Do I think men that get ear piercings are more feminine? Yeah maybe a little. More in-touch with their fashion sense or some crap.
Now ear gauges fluff that noise man.
Not really, but I suppose it depends on the type of piercing.
Dudes with studs don't seem feminine.
Dudes who stretch their ears are usually more on the scrawny side... just sayin...

Not anymore... society has evolved to view ear piercing as unisex. However the placement or of piercing and the type of ring matter, as well as the natural look of the guy.
Me, being a baby faced dude with a round face... I would think I would look too feminine with an ear piercing, so they never appealed to me. Especially since I dealt with gay rumors as a teen and young adult because of my natural look and inflecting voice. :-P
Not at all, most guys I e seen who have ear piercings also have other facial piercings. They look good on a guy who has that rocker/alt style.
One big earring on black guys looks like gangsta/rapper style which also looks really good.
Guys who can't pull it off with their personal style don't look good in my opinion
Yeah but then that gets you onto women wearing trousers, men with long hair, women with short hair, men in skin tight pants, women in manly boots. Y'know, things aren't so clear cut and black and white now as they were 50 years ago. The line is quite blurred, it's cool like that for me. Doesn't affect me and it just means that people are more relaxed and chilled out about such matters. In order to be considered cross dressing now, guys need to be wearing women's underwear, skirts, high heels.
That's literally one of the silliest things I have ever heard. Earrings on men are common in non-western cultures. There is no universal indication of what is masculine and feminine because it is culturally determined. Culture isn't universal.
Not necessarily. Chris Brown has his ears pierced and i dont think of him as feminine at all

No i think they look silly I cannot stand looking a people that have chopped out part of there ear for one of those big black rings looks in my view ugly and if you went to an employer like that it does not look very professional.
I think on girl ear piercing can be really pretty especially if you are wearing pretty not to big earrings I hate seeing people in tv shows with ones that look like you need a crane to keep them up surely they cannot be comfortable to wear
If I'a big biker dude & look like I can kick your ass, you better let him wear whatever he wants in his ear... eh? (😄)
But if he is afeminate or gay I think he should be just as accepted for wearin earings. I did for fashion and to experiment when I was a 19 year old musician. 😎
Now I prefer not to have holes in my ears to have to keep clean. I'm neutral and too busy being me to care.
I have 4 ear piercings and am heterosexual. Ear-piercings on men has gone far back in history. For those of you who think it is "traditional" you are completely lost in your TV and movie land world and hope you never evolve to critical thinkers.
I got mine pierced because I like it. It is part of my self image, sometimes i wear 0, 1, 2 3, or 4... to me it is like a removal tattoo.
No. My brother started with his ear pierced, now he has gauges. He has tats, beard and is muscular... I would never call him feminine haha. Some guys might be, but not all of them are.
Looks totality girly to me.

No, it's a matter of culture and perspective. Piercing itself is just a man made material. Many culture associated piercing with women, it's the people who did this. With that in mind the mentality of the society can be engineered thus changing culture. Reversing it.
I don't think ear piercing is thought of as feminine except by right wing men.
I think it's kinda lame to get just one pierced because you think two is gay though - that's really lame.
I disagree, I have some very masculine mates that have both ears pierced, it's self preference!!! Some look good some look average, which in my case I let them know how average they look lol :-)
nah i dont think that but i really hate it when men pierce both ears. it looks stupid.
I don't think so. It really just depends on the jewelry they have. I mean, I'm sure they're not going to wear blinged out chandelier earrings unless that's their thing.
The politically correct thing to say would be "no, piercings do not influence one's sexuality hur dur" but I'm gonna go ahead and say yes. Yes I think they are slightly more feminine.
Maybe little diamond earrings. But I think gauges are actually kind of masculine.
No it's just edgy, nice piercings are associated with rebellion. I wouldn't judge a guy by that, it's seriously irrelevant.
I suggest you go to a Hells Angel and tell him that he's feminine. Let me know how that works out for you lol.
It can be feminine but it usually isn't.
I dont think a piercing its self is feminine ir masculine. I've dated very manly men with ear piercings... My best male friend has his done and hell wouldn't wanna meet him in a dark ally
