Why Do Men Wear Earrings

Why has Dr Frank shocked me? Anyone else?

Dr Frank, I just read that you had your ears pierced with your daughter. The image of you in my minds eye does not match a man with earrings, do you actually wear them? LOL.
Hi Dr Frank – Really, you are right that you don’t match the image I have of you. I now have an image of a rugged middle aged rocker, tee hee, although I’m sure this too is very different from the reality. Isn’t it strange how we are all viewing each other so far from reality. I am now wondering how, if at all, people view me in their minds eye. It’s as if we are all characters from a book.

Oh yes, I suspect I don’t resemble your image of me at all. I have my Left ear pierced a shaved head and a number of tattoos. I also wear quite a lot of goth jewellery.
