Are you assuming men can’t wear earrings?

It’s quite common. Many men wear plug earrings. It’s true, hanging earrings are rare for men. When i was a teenager I was wearing one in my left year. Looking back it makes me cringe, I dont know why.
That was the time to experiment! I am sure you are glad you took the fashion risk. Who are we without our stories and adventures!
I've been in meetings where people have been upset ; our product only targets 1/2 the planet, how can we convince the other sex to wear/use it?

If you break the (mild for some) earring stigma, and even further the dangling earring fashion stigma for men, you'd be making history.

And a tech product might just do that.

I have had my ears pierced and would happily re-pierce them for the right wearable, but their current designs absolutely would look clownish twinned with most masculine outfits.
