In ancient periods, men as well as women use to wear jewellery. Now only women prefer to wear jewellery. Why?
Why men don't wear anything like "mangal sutra"? Men can wear "Mangal Kada" after marriage.

Mangal sutra itself is bizarre. I don't think that men should also follow this. Actually jewellery is considered for beauty also for show of status. Traditionally, woman is also considered as man's possession. So, he decorates woman just as you do with building, furniture etc. Jewellery is in fact a symbol of woman's status as man's possession or just a commodity. There is no reason why men may wear any such thing- Mangal Kada or whatever.

What is a mangal kada by the way? :ohmy:
Jewels add a feminine touch so I think men are better off them.
Here is news. A research shows that men now give more importance to brain rather than beauty. This is a result of growing importance of women who are no more mere show piece. On the other hand, now women more look for appearance and physical charm in men that financial security. Thus, the thinking of men and women both towards choice of mate is undergoing a change.

There is no 'mangal kada'. This is Devyani's suggestion. Jewels are more worn by women. But men have also been wearing some. I have seen many men wearing gold chains, finger rings and ear rings. But this is among the less educated.
Its a misconception that only women prefer to wear jewelery. Few men also love to wear jewels. Best example is Bappi Lahiri. It is said that he owns more jewels than his wife :)
LOL, thats exactly what I was thinking off, in fact there is a famous joke when actor Raj Kumar who is known to come out with some original comments, is supposed to have looked at Bappi Lahri and his jewels and said, Bhai gehene toh accha hai,lekin Mangal sutr kahan hai ?LOL...

he is wearing jewellery, fine, for his satisfaction. But can you find at least one person who enjoy seeing him as a jewel stand :woohoo: :woohoo: :evil: :S

it's too funny....
That's why it's told time is changing :cheer:
earlier, women were only house wives....so just need to be beautiful. But now, she is earning for family. So, their men thinking wise.
Earlier, women had no options...just bend her neck before the person, her parents select. Now, she is earning. so getting better opportunities to choose her life partner....she is demanding nowadays
I don't think only gold accessories can increase beauty of woman. I prefer other items....
Bangles, ear rings etc.....
Actually, to be simply beautiful, just a small stud is enough
But Gold is made for women I think as they are too crazy for gold.My wife too always prefer gold than anything else if given a choice. :laugh:
