?sallllam 3likum...h r u guys,girls

after aloooooooooong time am back but unfortunatly 4 a short time

i was walking yesterday in city center and
i saw something that made me post this topic and ask u this Questions
and share with u ur opinions.

maybe this questions will mainly go to our female members, but male members are also welcome to share their opinions. What do you think of men who wear necklaces? Do you think it is suitable for men to wear it? Nowadays also Omani men wear them(not with the dishdasha ofcourse). But during times when they "hang out." Do females find it an attractive thing? What do the male members of the forum think about this. Not that I wear one, but just looking for views of other members since many wear them

Well I have noticed that some of the members didn’t have a problem with this issue and others clearly stated their personal opinion about it. Interestingly, I noticed that we are making it wrong in a way that we are not supposed to do. Some really expressed interesting opinions and this shows how different and distinct we are in our way of thinking. I like it when we always refer to religion perspective however, we still need to broaden our own perspective.

First of all, i dont think wearing a necklece is wrong, what are we referencing to here to make it wrong?a necklece, if not many of you knows it, it's been used long time ago even here in Oman, but the necklece im talking about here is the one where they used to use black strings to hang things related to black magic or protective materials (tameema). Necklece is not 7aram to wear because there is no clear statement that talks about it. But let's say not the feminine styled ones, no doubt these are not accepted, because it is against human nature and the normal way we are living with things. Im not going to say that I like it or I don't. To me it doesn't make any difference as long as the person who is wearing it, would wear it so it doesn't look DISGUSTING or AWEFUL or FEMININE.

I dont think a man will look like a girl if he wears a necklece because the style of that necklece has nothing to do with femininity. If we are saying that men should not wear jewelry, then we should also exclude khanjar and rings.. etc. These are also jewelry!! I think it comes down to how we wear them, not only considering what we wear. I can, FOR EXAMPLE, wear jeans pants, it's not part of the female dresses that we are used to, but i can pick the right material and style so that it shows the feminine side of me.

When we talk about fashion, then let's talk about material also. We can find extraordinary shirts but were made from silk!!! When we talk about fashion, i think we need to think also about a good match. Clothes with jewelry used, fabric used, hair style, beard and mostach style, what buttons we are using, what colour of the clothes, ties, etc.

But also a comment to think about is we do not want to imitate the westeners and we can have our own jewelry. I know some men who used to wear earings, IN OMAN, such as earings and neckleces as part of the culture. Haven't any of you noticed some ears that were pierced????

Finaly, i would like to say that we can used to we want to use within the limit as long as what we are using is not 7aram. Remember that the origin of everything created in this world is to be 7alal UNLESS it was clearly mentioned that it is NOT.

Thanks for such an interesting topic. Keep it up!
