    Is it ok for a guy to wear a (non wedding) ring or is it something that is more suited to homosexuals? e.g. my mate wears a cool looking thumb ring but hes not gay. Some of our friends reckon only gay men wear rings on their thumbs. Does that mean im gay cos i think it looks good?

    What u think?

    Thumb ring urgh!
    Anyway, I wear a ring most the time. I would only wear a ring that had a special meaning to me.
    Nothing wrong with it Mr. Faceman.

    What the hell is wrong with a fella wearing a ring???

    It depends on what kind of rings. Nice celtic bands or just plain bands are lovely on guys but all that gold sovereign/hash plant crap is rotten.

    Seconded.
    Big gold things are awful, and just look cheap. Otherwise, I don't really notice it that much.

    the ring does have certain sentimental value to the dude and its on of those celtic gothic designs, looks cool.

    I always wore a russian wedding band on my thumb, silver job...the one with 3 bands intertwined, I'm not gay but i never got any comments on it other that some liked it or didn't. Stopped wearing after i got married, I think more than one ring on a man is enough imo.

    I don't know much, but I'm pretty sure you're gay, man. Sorry to be the one to break it to ye! A ring's a ring, and if you like rings you like rings. Nawmeen?

    I think something like a celtic band on a guy's middle finder looks nice, i wouldnt think you were gay if you had a thumb ring

    rings are definitly gay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan


    if someone wants to wear a ring, then they should wear a ring and who cares what other people think?

    personally i only wear a wedding band.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,687 ✭✭✭Dun laoire


    Jesus as long as nobody wears those awful skanky soverign rings.
    Never trust a man who wears a soverign ring.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 10,463 Mod ✭✭✭✭xzanti


    I think silver thumb rings are nice on men tbh... Its actually quite sexy IMO :p

    Men should not wear rings, unless Celtic.

    I wore a silver band (class ring) for the past few years. I wore it one my right hand, opposite my ring finger. A lot of people used to ask me was I married, especially because my ex wore one just like it (but smaller) on the same finger.

    I don't wear it since we broke up, sort of because I don't really want people to think I'm married etc. Not that it improves my chances in the slightest bit!

    One wedding ring and a watch is the only jewellery a man should wear.

    Yep.

    Only ring I'd wear aside from a wedding band is a claddagh ring tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,523 ✭✭✭Archeron


    IMO, its no gayer than a pair of diamonique pearl drop earrings with a matching snake charm bangle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,967 ✭✭✭✭Zulu


    I've my finger in a ring right now, and I'm not gay.

    Anyone can look fetching with that. Male, female or indifferent.
