Cuff links look cool but I always wonder about one thing - does the guy just not like buttons?
A bit of history for you. Buttons were invented some time in the past. Before buttons people used twigs and pins and cuff links to secure garments or to avoid wardrobe malfunctions. Cuff link people are mired in the past, stuck using an archaic form of fastening.
I for one am glad buttons were invented. And I'm glad for many reasons.
Can you imagine playing the Xbox without buttons? Try pushing on a cuff link or even a collection of pins to get your warrior princess to jump across the Eternal Chasm and then stab the Red Orc. Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start. No way you do that with cuff links.
I wonder if people who wear cuff links are even aware of the controversy?
One time I saw a spy show where the bad guy hid cyanide in a cuff link and he killed himself when he got caught. That was kind of cool, but if I remember right it was an old movie. Black and white even.
Cuff links with a dose of cyanide in a hidden compartment . . . eh.
