Many people are becoming inquisitive about the items that they wear because they like to know how different things started and evolved through time. Due to information technology, the answers to their questions will be easily answered. This article will help those people with curious mind address their questions regarding why men wear dog tags and how it migrated from the military to an everyday fashion accessory.

Mens dog tags started in the military in the 1940s as ID tags and they are used to identify a soldier to its branch. These dog tags are received during military service with engravings regarding the person’s name, religion, branch of military and blood type. This will help other soldiers identify the body of the deceased member of the military division. It will also help in emergency situations because some dog tags nowadays carry health information. There are two identical dog tags that are made for a soldier. The first one is always on the neck of the soldier and the other one is in his belongings. If a deceased soldier has no dog tags around his neck then one will be made for him and will be marked as “unidentified”.

The fashion industry also offers dog tag necklaces to civilians so that they can use it as a fashion statement. The best metal to use for a dog tag is stainless steel because it is hypoallergenic, lightweight and does not tarnish. Some metals that dog tags are made of bring allergic reactions. There is a cheap version of dog tags such as electroplated ones which means that it is only wrapped in a shiny metal. The real type of metal behind the film can be copper, nickel, lead or alloy. Electroplated dog tags usually wear off and reveal a metal which can give an allergic reaction resulting to blister and rashes.

People choose to customize the design of their dog tags to match their outfits. Sometimes they put inscription on the dog tags to make it unique and if they are giving it to someone, it makes it memorable. There are people who choose two dog tags in one chain so that it adds a bit of identity. Some people buy dog tags to give them away to their loved ones.

Dog tags originated in military and are being adapted by the fashion world as an accessory because of its identification to masculinity.

It seems strange that people talk about eyes as a source of physical attraction. Maybe now that it is part of traditional Western culture that a pair of big blue eyes are considered the holy grail when it comes to ocular sourced sexual attraction. However if you want to know what is as written into our DNA as the signal of a beautiful pair of eyes, it is a pair of eyes with long eyelashes. The reason for this is that eyelashes protect the eyes against the environment and the longer they are the better they do the job. Thus a healthy, long eyelash is a true signal of good genes and thus a seriously effective way of advertising said good genes and thus sexual appeal to the opposite sex.

Whether or not you are aware of this evolutionary mindset, most people will prefer eyes with longer eyelashes than with shorter. Thus if you want to enhance your appeal, then eyelash extensions can go a long way to serve this purpose. Lash extensions add immediate length and volume to your lashes, particularly if you use quality synthetic lashes like mink eyelash extensions.

Further advantages of these extensions is that for such delicate cosmetic additions they can last up to 2 to 3 weeks before needing a ‘touch up’; just try not rubbing the eyes and be aware that oil based makeup does loosen the adhesives binding the extension to the natural eyelash. That is another advantage! The extensions do not touch your skin but are bound to the natural eyelashes about a millimeter from the skin. This means that you will not even know they are there and they do not cause any irritation.

The disadvantages are that it is not wise to try, apply these extensions yourself; you are going to require the service of a professional. All in all and depending on how many extensions you apply they will cost you from $100 to $300 and they are going to apply maintenance every 2 to 3 weeks as mentioned above. Added to this you are going to have to have them replaced after several touch ups to keep them looking naturally fresh and appealing. Again the cost will depend on how many extensions are replaced.

Nowadays you are not stuck with the body you born with. Improvements can be made with simple procedures like lash extensions to more substantial operations. These can improve already attractive features or repair less than attractive characteristics but the cons in all said procedures seems to be their cost and in some cases including extensions of the eyelashes, their reasonably high maintenance. However said extensions are extremely effective in the attraction of the opposite sex and as mentioned before appeal to humans sexually at a very powerful, genetic level. This more than makes up for their cost and if you can attract a partner with ‘ample resources’ completely neutralizes them.
