Hey ya'll. So recently i got a nose piercing and all the sudden guys are coming up to me and asking for my number and hitting on me...why now? that has never happened before. Thnaks for the help.
Simply because, to these guys you are now more attractive, for whatever reason. Maybe girls with nose piercings make great moms. Who knows? ************************************************* 01-19-03, 09:01 PM cattywampus You're probably releasing more pheramones through those holes in your nostrils.
Catty Razz
01-19-03, 09:08 PM Kendor Ok, I'll go with that. Must be the pheramone thing. And those little holes.
01-19-03, 10:58 PM piggins Some people look quite attractive with a pierced nose or eyebrow, just as other types of jewelry whether it is bracelets, necklaces, or earrings, which accent the facial features. Jewelry tends to catch one’s eye and it draws the eyes to the immediate area for further scanning.
As the eyes scan, they find that the rest of your facial features attractive and pleasant.. Jewelry and make up is a wonderful asset to accenting your facial features… but too much jewelry or make up can clutter up a face which is already attractive and beautiful.
Another wonderful piece of jewelry to compliment your facial features is a smile… In a nice pleasing way it say’s that you are pleasant to be around and you are happy.
01-19-03, 11:03 PM Sherasi make-up and piercings have been used for literally thousands of years to stimulate the interest of the opposite (and sometimes the same) sex.
Enjoy it, unless it is attracting the sort of guys you don't want to hand with... if that is so.. maybe the piercing was a bad idea.. hehehehehe
01-20-03, 09:58 AM Walks On Water It seems to be my place in life.
It just could, and not saying that it is, just could be that these young men may think you are "That kind of girl" now.
I still have not figured out what makes guys and girls deform themselved with piercings and tattoos. How stone aged. The only hole and marks on this body are those God gave me.

Does your wife or daughter or mom have peirced ears? I have no idea why either. I've heard most people saying they get piercings just because they like it.
She never said how many guys are comming up to her. She makes it seem like 10 or 20. It's probably more like 2 or 3. It could just be coincidence, too (it is the new year so they might have changed classess). Or maybe now they just have something that has accentuated you enough for them to notice you longer.
01-20-03, 01:06 PM puppyblues Personally, I have a different theory (imagine that). I think that people with piercings are easier to approach. People look at them and think, "well, they are fun, they should be easy to talk too." I think you are more approachable now. You seem easier for them to talk too. Maybe more fun. Have fun with it unless you are getting uncomfortable. If you are, take it out. Or just tell them to get lost!!
01-20-03, 02:48 PM SeattleRon I'll go with puppblues answer on that one also.
01-20-03, 04:27 PM Yelena Ron and puupy, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. Most people (including myself) that I know say that people with piercings are actually much harder to approach than people without. People with piercings or tatoos or spikes or whatever look mean, like if you approch them they are just going to be mean to you and snarl or something.
As to the original question, I do not know, but the closest explanation I have is Walks On Water's reasoning.
01-20-03, 06:12 PM Walks On Water In reply to jusork, yes, my wife does have one pierse in each ear in order to hold the smaller nice earrings. She did it after much thought and she was over 30 when she did it.
WoW has no problem with that kind of piercings. 1, 2 or even 3 on the ear, tastfully done is OK. It is the tongue, lip, nose, eyebrow or other assorted body parts.
Remember this, a ton of chrome on an Edsel will not make it look like a Benley. You have to start with good looks and a good brain.
Yes, we had our fads when I was in school. DA hair cuts that looked like a ducks rearend, the flat top, same as the DA but crew cut on the top. Saddle shoe and penny loafers but no piercing or tattoos.

I doubt she got any more piercings that would make it that hard or scary to approach. Anyways, don't be scared of people with spikes or tatoos etc. Most of the time they are just as nice as you even if they look fierce.
01-20-03, 10:43 PM SeattleRon in my eyes somebody with some piercings multi colored hair or tattoos would be easier to approach than someone wearing a stuffy turtle neck with a clean cut hairdo or a suit and tie. i can't really talk to most rich people or approach them because i feel they'll be all snooty and ask me questions about caviar and what kind of mercedes benz i have.
01-20-03, 11:21 PM jejelale It really makes a difference if you have piercings and tatoos when you interview for a job.I have seen very qualified people never called back because of the way they look. Many of them were very nice people, however, body art seems to be a turnoff in the workforce.
01-21-03, 07:57 AM Elexina Sourcherry37, what you have to figure out is if you want to be with these guys who suddenly are attracted to you. You should be with someone who would like you whether you had no holes in your head, or ten.
That said, rock on. Nose rings are awesome. ...Except when they get caught in sweaters...
01-22-03, 05:59 AM Shawn typically it is because "piercings" are beleived to be by a sterotype of person (easy-trashy etc) although many of us who have them don't ever show them like me(belly button and tongue) I have worked a year with some people who never knew my tongue was pierced.
As the same things goes in the opposite direction- while some guys are now drawn to you- other people (guys and girls and adults) will be turned off by your apperance too. Sad but true that apperances are the first impression people make a judgement upon- and it usually has nothing to do with you but rather the persons personal taste. Roll Eyes
01-22-03, 07:17 AM Pin~Jinx I don't disagree with either of the posts here;
though, would definitely like to reinforce the fact that *ppl with piercings are not necessarily bad or eccentric (but definitely the ones who aren't dull and monotonous and boring and......gee, me sleepy! ) *adopting a punky style is definitely a DON'T in the workplace. One has to be presentable, which should be more subtle not striking & shocking! (unless, you are working in some Beauty Salon or some Hip restaurant or some other such place where you can be un-conventional) *As we are human, and not angels , most of us are inclined to deduce the "naughty" or "scandulouos" or not-so-right type of aspects of someting. Thus, WalksOnWater's statements are correct. Piercings/Tattoos do give off an impression of the person trying to , uhmn, well, (there are no kids here so you do get what I mean_I don't want to use any terms) *piercings are trendy_get them! WoW & jusork: I had my ears pierced when I was 6! yes, just six years old (my Mom and Gramps dragged me to the place) WHY? So I could have cute n tiny blue stars studded in my ears. Plus, it just accentuates my femininess. Although, I don't remember wearing any earings or tops since I was 15!!!!!Umn, though that's besides the point.
I am with SHAWN's reply 100% ! Pin~Jinx / anarchist(ouch!that hurts)
01-22-03, 08:00 AM southern_belle I don’t have any piercings other than my ears but have a question. Did you get you tongue and or belly button pierced to draw the attention of "other guys or girls"? Not passing judgment in any way believe me, just curious as to why did some of you got your (other than ears) pierced? I have a friend who has her tongue and nose pierced and she has attracted all sorts of guys ever since, bad thing is she seemed to have changed with them, almost encouraging these types of advances from other men. She is married and sees nothing wrong with this, even though her husband has said that it really bothers him her response is "it's my life and I can do what I want to". He doesn’t mind the piercings it the flirting that is bothering him she said. Sorry if it looks like I'm condemning piercing cause I'm really not just curious about why people got them?
01-22-03, 12:20 PM Shawn [QUOTE]Originally posted by southern_belle: I don’t have any piercings other than my ears but have a question. Did you get you tongue and or belly button pierced to draw the attention of "other guys or girls"?
who are you asking?
me I just wanted it done- and it does make "felatio" better between my husband and myself. No one other than my husband sees my belly button. And I also have 3 tattoos, one on right shoulder blade is a heart with my husband's name in it, next is a mouse on my right ankle holding a sign with my dead daughters birthday along with her name in cursive below the mouse, and third is a tiger cub on my left upper thigh that is covering a big ugly brown birthmark.
my tattoos are not shown unless in shorts, bathing suit etc. I think women have very few places on their bodies that they can put tattoos without looking like a hell's angel groupie.
1 month after i got my toungue pierced my husband got his, I wear a clear stud all the time so people DON'T see it, but I know its there and I like it. I don't however wear earings anymore (5 holes, 3 in one ear and 2 in other). WHY cause i just don't like them they bother me when in, i can't sleep with them on and my long hair usually gets caught on them.
If i should ever have to take out my piercings and the hole should close up- I won't get repierced. But do want 2 more tattoos (small ones) 1 over my heart and one in the bikini/pelvic area.
Tattoos are adictive, a mind over matter, can I handle the pain sorta thing. I like how mine look, but some I have seen are poorly done and I don't know why some one would choose to put certain things on their bodies. When making that decision you have to think long and hard because you will have it forever. Like the mouse one I have it is a "memorial" to my daughter who I will never forget, and I have gotten lots of compliments on it.
01-22-03, 12:33 PM southern_belle Piercings I wasn’t singeling you out just asking in general. What about guys that know you have these piercings and tattoos, do they approach you differently or drawn to you now that they know you have them? Like my friend I was talking about, she loves the attention from other guys and she encourages it. Why did your husband get his tongue pierced? Does he have any other piercings or tattoos? I know I'm prying but I just think this is interesting. Thanks for your input.

no one approaches me about mine cause I don't let people know about them, mostly my personality is what they see first, if they notice my peirced tongue afterwards they are the smae to me as before. I didn't get it for attention from others, but wanted it for myself. I don't know why my husband got his pierced maybe he liked mine, I never asked him. He has 5 tattoos and although it wouldn't be my chlice to get as big ones as he did that is his choice. He likes skeletons and the grim reaper etc and has 2 tattoos with the confederate flag in them.

************************************************* ************************************************* 01-24-03, 12:35 AM gizmogram I was going to reply to this post several days ago and didn't, and now I feel compelled.
One thing that people need to take into account when thinking about body piercing or tatooing, is where they want their life to go in terms of a career.
Many employers will not hire someone with tatoos or piercings if they will be interacting with the public. Although it cannot fall under discrimination, they will find a reason not to hire you if your ornaments are not in keeping with their policies.
I am a Manager at a fast food outlet, and even the guys with one earring must remove that earring while working. Anyone with tattoos visible outside their uniform can only work in non-public areas.
In my former career in Hotel Sales, we had an assistant with a tattoo around her ankle. Because we were a professional office, she had to wear concealing tights to hide that tattoo.
I have nothing against piercings or tattoos. I have double piercings in my ears (which is allowed as long as earrings are small), and one day, I plan to get a tattoo...where it won't show.
When considering body ornamentation of any kind, please remember that with some types, you'll have them for life. And if you want to have a profitable career, some types might hinder your ability to make it there.
01-24-03, 07:14 PM gatman I agree with WOW. It is the impression that you are looser sexually. I know this is not always the case but that is the expectation. I am always left wondering why? Insecurity, rebellion, drunk at the time?
01-24-03, 09:06 PM Sherasi I have 4 earrings in one ear (one in my upper ear) and 3 earrings in the other. I wear coordinating and attractive earrings that do not look flashy or gaudy. I have had nothing but compliments and I have never NOT gotten a job for wearing them.
01-25-03, 03:59 AM gizmogram Sher, I wasn't implying that earrings may prevent employment, although many placed I have worked DO limit the number of earrings for two sets for women and many will not allow men to have an earring.
I was mostly referring to the facial and tongue piercings so popular today, and visible tattoos, that may not be acceptible by a potential employer.
I also have multiple ear piercings, and as you, only wear coordinated and appropriate earrings.
01-28-03, 07:32 AM Pin~Jinx G, I think it is r e b e l l i o n which drives us young-blooded ppl to do such things (however, though I claim to be an anarchist, happen to be the most docile doormat which ever came into being!!!)

01-28-03, 07:53 AM samantha Ok my turn here. I do not for myself like any piercing except the ears. I guess for 25 Im old fashion but, was brought up very strict on this stuff. I had my ears pierced but, waited until I was out of school. Heck my mom never let me wear makeup most of the time unless I snuck and did it. Roll Eyes
01-30-03, 06:48 PM Sourcherry37 Ok, thanks everyone for your opinions
02-07-03, 12:37 AM jejelale I'm a little curious-can tongue piercing damage your teeth? I have heard that is does and was just wondering.
02-07-03, 07:29 AM Elexina jejelale, I think it is distinctly possible, if the piercing is large enough and is continuously rubbed against the teeth, that it could wear down the enamel. It would probably take some time, though.
This is an excellent point. Anyone considering a tongue piercing might do well to discuss it with their dentist.
02-26-03, 04:12 PM BandaiJ I had my ears pierced when I was 6 months old! I havent worn earings in 10 years, lol. If she wanted to get a piercing, then good for her. I can't read minds so I don't know why they are taking sudden interest in you, but make sure you don't get mixed in with the wrong crowd or something. And those of you saying piercings are bad, everyone has an opinion, if she likes them, God bless her. Later-Larien
02-27-03, 04:34 PM Doodlebug_16 Well, I love to talk about peircings. I have had the top of my belly button peirced for like 2 years now. Saturday, I got the bottom of my belly button peirced, and I love it! I think that you are getting more attention because you have more self confidence. I dunno, just taking a stab in the dark. I know I do now. Hope you like your new peircing! Oh, by the way, my mom will kill me, but did it hurt too bad? I want to get my done, but I think it would hurt too bad. I know, I know mom, I have to wait til I am 18! Big Grin
02-27-03, 09:43 PM puppyblues You got it, sistah! Wink
03-13-03, 09:35 AM Kalena I'll keep this short and simple. Everyone has something that they find sexualy appealing in the opposite sex (or same). Maybe the guys that have been approaching you, find nose rings sexy. It's also possible, that having worked up the courage to get ur nose piecred (i've heard it's quite painful) that your more confident and it shows so guys are now more attracted to you.
04-06-03, 01:59 PM billabong¤gurl Kalena, I agree with you! Many guys think nose rings are sexy, I've noticed.
04-06-03, 07:03 PM billabong¤gurl I don't see anything wrong with peircings, and don't see them as dirty, or not appropriate. I think it's a way to express yourself! I think it's great to have things that express you true self! Maybe too many tattoos aren't necessary, but I think I should be able to have my cartelege or my belly button peirced if I want it! Sadly, my Mom (Wildflower63) won't let me get anything peirced but my ears, and only once, too! And I can't wait to move out! j/k. I can't live without being and expressing myself.

04-07-03, 12:27 AM Wildflower63 I'm going to give it to you guys real straight, so prepare yourself to be completely and totally offended. Young guys think you are a slut with a lot of piercing and tattoos. I have a 16 year old son and tons of his friends that will 100% back what I'm telling you.
Wise up girls. At that age, boys will use you as a recepticle and not care. You will. Don't delude yourself into thinking you are suddenly more attractive than you already were. If you are fat, you are still fat. I don't care how you would like to express yourself with a peircing. You are still the same as always good with the bad. Don't cheapen yourself to make guys think you are a slut by doing stupid things.
04-07-03, 01:07 AM jejelale Oh Billabong-!!!I know you don't want to hear this, but you are so lucky to have a mom who cares so much about you. You don't need to pierce your body to express yourself, belive me people notice, but no one really cares. Express yourself in what you are good at(art, writing, volunteering). Right now you are mad at your mom because she won't let you do what you want. There are many things we think we want and later found out we really didn't. Take your time. If you truly feel like you want these piercings in a few years, get them. But for now, ask yourself how much your mom really means to you. What would you do if she wasn't there??Respect her decision because she really loves you. Friends come and go, but you always have your mom.
04-07-03, 01:29 AM Sherasi My parents let me get maybe ears pierced at about 12 years old. I didn't listen to the directions and immediately started wearing "cheap" earrings.. earrings made from nickel and other poor quality metals. My ears went to heck, pussing, really bad. I ended up not wearing earrings for several years and finally, as an adult, began to buy and wear expensive gold earrings.. the only thing I CAN wear.
For some reason, at about 32, I began to put additional piercing into my ears, and finally about 3 years ago, did my upper left ear, at the top curve. The top curve one in the cartilage took a LONG time to heal.. and it still gets irritated easily.
One day, perhaps, after I lose weight, I may do a belly button piercing or a tattoo.. but I will always keep in mind what my job can and will accept. Giz, is right, your future HAS to be kept in mind.. self-expression is well and good.. but do you KNOW how much it costs to remove tattoos? Or that there is almost always evidence of piercings even after healing over?
Wait until you are an adult, and can choose based on reason and not spur of the moment impulsivity.

04-07-03, 09:12 AM Elexina Piercings Billabong¤gurl, I hope you were only kidding with your 'evil' comment. That is a pretty harsh term for someone who loves you and only cares about what's best for you. I think it is very true that piercings (or tattoos, hairdos, clothing, etc.) are a way for people to express themselves and show your individuality. But the individuality fades quickly when everyone is getting pierced. There are other ways to express yourself that your mother would be more comfortable in and, as you are living under her roof, you would do well to abide by what she says.
04-07-03, 11:32 AM puppyblues Wildflower, I'm not sure I understood what you are saying. If they have peircings they ARE a slut, or if they want to have them they are a slut....or WHAT? They are just expressing themselves. I agree with the facial peircings...it just looks tacky. But so what if they want to peirce their belly buttons. I have mine done, my daughter and I did it together Roll Eyes And I'll tell you, I'm no slut and neither is my daughter. Do what you want with your own kid, but DON'T call mine a slut. Wink
04-07-03, 01:20 PM Wildflower63 I DO NOT want my 12 year old daughter with belly button and cartlidge piercings. I DO NOT want her going around looking like a slut. Sometimes the message you send is a little more than individuality. Adults, do what you want, but not my daughter. She is entirely too young.
04-07-03, 02:42 PM puppyblues Well, I agree 12 years old is a tad young for that. But I don't agree that just because they have piercings, they look slutty. It's all in how you look at them. Evedentally, you think they do. I think they don't. We can agree to disagree, right? Wink
04-07-03, 03:44 PM Runic StormCrow 12 years old? *cough*
young, yes. she shouldn't be worrying right now. but in high school, let her explore a little. the teenage years are years for trial and error, experimenting, and exploring.
believe me, you want her to explore as a teen, and not as a 30-something who has navel piercings and tatoos that encircle the entire left side of her body. (not good for the job interviews, dontcha know. Wink )
ahhh. much better.
04-08-03, 03:57 PM samantha I personally do not like piercings or tatoos..well, I have my ears pierced is all..but, thats just my preference on this.
