Men Who Wear Rings?

faceman · 28-04-2006 11:57AM #1

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?

Depends if you can pull it off... looks good on some people and other people just look gay... lol i personally wouldnt wear a ring on my thumb.

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

ferdi · 28-04-2006 12:34PM

rings are definitly gay.

WhiteWashMan · 28-04-2006 12:34PM

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.

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

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!
