Maybe it's a regional/cultural thing. See where I'm from and in the particular segment of society I grew up in, a guy wouldn't wear a cross on a chain either. Guys do not wear anything resembling a necklace. Acceptable jewelry on guys is pretty much limited to:
- a watch (not gold),
- a wedding ring,
- one other ring, such as a class or signet ring (if he is not married, this is the only ring he wears),
- a fraternity badge,
- a lapel pin, and
- cufflinks when appropriate.
You just don't see guys wearing necklaces, tie tacks/bars/chains, or more rings. Anything beyond what I listed is usually considered tacky and, well, effeminate. (Just to be clear, I'm not saying that guys who wear crosses on a chain
are effeminate. I'm just saying that in the culture I come from, wearing something like that would be
viewed as effeminate. Or . . . well . . . Yankee.

I'll assume swimluv&alphaxi has a handle on what is acceptable for a guy where she and her boyfriend are.
