Ok I have a question. Why do some men festoon themselves with jewelry and ornaments? I would prefer to hear an answer from someone who actually does this.

I do not actually do this but I would hazard a guess that it right along the same line as a peacock being colorful and having a great big tail!

Which is also expressed differently for different groups of people. This kind of excessively show-offy, wear your bling bling loud and proud seems typical of people whose real or perceived economic status is unsettled or precarious. Perhaps they would like to show others that this is not the case, or just feel that it is not the case, by doing it up big. The nouveau riche and people of marginal economic status seem particularly vulnerable to this kind of glaring, spendy show.
