Why would a guy buy an anklet? Reasonable question. But, I find it no more an unreasonable an issue than guys having tatoos; which, but for patient treatment and expense, they can't remove. And this purchaser is not a jewelry type, nor a metro-sexual.
But this item is suggestive of something firm, not dainty. It even feels substantial; clasp seems strong and it hangs just below the ankle (though higher than I expect the sag would eventually be witnessed by a tatoo).
It's my thing, my rationale, and I'm quite satisfied with it for substance and evident strength. Unless I'm at the gym or a beach, or going sockless; I'm it's only witness. As for remarks? What's an echo, but a sound not heeded.
