yes or no to wearing multiple rings? (1 Viewer)

[prosopis]

I recently inherited some rings and I am thinking of going with multiple rings. I have always been a wedding ring only guy. The rings match my wedding ring and are southwestern in style which is where I live. Any thoughts?

I was using this article as a guide but figured people in here would know better.  http://www.artofmanliness.com/2015/12/10/ring-finger-symbolism/

[EYLive]

Leave them at home unless you want to be asked about them constantly and like the attention.

For real? This is the kind of info I need. Some guys must wear multiple rings. Thats why they are made, right?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

i wear one ring under protest.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Wear as many as you want.  Eff anyone that thinks anything of it.  That guide is beyond ridiculous/overthinking it, other than the advice to balance your jewelry (that's just good aesthetics).

 

[prosopis]

If it makes a difference I am on my way to fight club and I swap out my white gold wedding band for a groove wedding band when fighting.

I figure if Philip Rivers wears it then it must be cool.

This is the direction I am leaning.

That is one more than me

You be you.

My father was a man's man (an actual lumberjack, fwiw.  Hard drinking, heavy smoking, rough around the edges, etc.  You've met the type, I'm sure).  He wore multiple rings whenever the mood struck and would have happily kicked the teeth in of anyone who thought they had the balls enough to call him on it.  I have been wearing one of his old ones on my left index finger, along with my wedding band on my ring finger, for the last 7 or 8 years.  Completely secure and comfortable with it.  You want to wear more than one ring?  Do it.  Put one on every gaddam finger.  Get one for your junk.  Ignore the types who worry "wearing something on the wrong finger makes me fey!!!!!!" or whatever. 

My lumberjack dad says it's okay from beyond the mortal coil.

Of course some guys wear multiple rings.

They're called pimps. 

 

[James Daulton]

Oh you should wear multiple rings for sure.  Only one on your hands though...

 

[captain_amazing]

Totally fine.  But you can't wear just two.  Once you don more than one, the minimum is 9.

 

[AAABatteries]

Wear what you want and don't care what others think

[RokNRole]

Only if you are showing off your UNM ring

I'd never wear multiple rings - I think it looks stupid but I also don't care what others think about what I wear (or my selfies)

That's why we like you a lot AAA!

How about toe rings?

 

[belljr]

I say yes

[In The Zone]

Yes. 

One for each nipple.

Southern men may also wear a class ring, particularly if it is a military academy.

They may also wear a watch.

I thought this was all about aesthetics. What else would it be about?

Read the guide?  According to the guide, it's also about what "statement" the particular finger you have your ring on makes.  Meh.  Screw that noise.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Sometimes 1. Sometimes 2. Sometimes 3. Sometimes 0.

But never 4! 

 

[Righetti]

Only if you have multiple wives

Oh, no.  I didn't. I assumed it was one of those "mystery method" pickup artist discussions on how to peacock. 

 

[Eephus]

The look worked for Elvis

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Oh, no.  I didn't. I assumed it was one of those "mystery method" pickup artist discussions on how to peacock. 

I find the fact that you know who "Mystery" is hiiiigh-larious.

The fact that I know who "Mystery" is makes me want to punch myself in the face.

 

[jamny]

I don't even wear a wedding ring.

That said...do whatever you want. Who cares what other people think.

 

[Tick]

Do what you want, but I'll laugh quietly when I see you.  Same goes for a gold chain or an earring.

I haven't really thought about where I'm judgy as an overall topic before - let's see what I come up with.

Things I laugh at on dudes:

• Too much jewelry (anything more than one ring)
  
• Bonus for those ear gauges
  
• Pants so low that underwear shows
  
• Buying into a look wholesale, almost regardless of what look it is - going full goth or gangsta or cowboy
  
• Freezing rather than wearing a proper coat
  

Things that I don't laugh at:

• Weird hair color
  
• Weird hair styles, unless they look like they take too much maintenance in the morning
  
• Tattoos
  
• Speedos
  
• Any kind of hat?  I can't think of one I hate unless the label is still on it.  I even kind of admire someone who thinks they can pull off a fedora or cowboy hat.
  

So maybe the summary is that I laugh at people who spend too much money, effort, or thought on their appearance.  I don't really care if they look weird unless they look like they're trying to challenge me by how weird they can look.  I think I might just be another old white guy.

Only thing worse is some guy trying to one-up the other dude with a watch.

Not unless you're a pawn broker. Or a pirate.

My father was a man's man (an actual lumberjack, fwiw.  Hard drinking, heavy smoking, rough around the edges, etc.  You've met the type, I'm sure).  He wore multiple rings whenever the mood struck and would have happily kicked the teeth in of anyone who thought they had the balls enough to call him on it.  I have been wearing one of his old ones on my left index finger, along with my wedding band on my ring finger, for the last 7 or 8 years.  Completely secure and comfortable with it.  You want to wear more than one ring?  Do it.  Put one on every gaddam finger.  Get one for your junk.  Ignore the types who worry "wearing something on the wrong finger makes me fey!!!!!!" or whatever.

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay

i don't have a wedding ring (not married), and i sport multiples ... a couple for showin' - the others for throwin'   

they are one of the big reasons i haven't inked my knuckles.  to each their own, amigos.

 

[sports_fan]

There are only 2 situations where it's acceptable:

1. If you have won multiple professional sports championships
   

 

[jvdesigns2002]

As somebody in the jewelry industry--my advice is to wear them as you please.  If you inherited them--most likely the rings have some sort of sentimental and/or symbolic value to you--so wear them with confidence.  Don't let a bunch of strangers on a fantasy football forum tell you not to wear something that has personal meaning to you because they think it might look lame.  My advice is to find as many ways as you can to wear them if they are meaningful.  Heck--sometimes it looks cool to run a chain or a leather cord through rings and wear them as a necklace. The point is that every person has their own style (or lack of it)--so it is all subjective. However--I think that one thing that can be agreed upon is that there is something that is inherently cool about somebody that is comfortable and confident in their own skin and their own style.

My FIL was a captain in the FDNY, he wears a ring he received from the department.

He does wear it in place of a wedding band on his left ring finger though, not as a second ring. 

This is a non wedding band situation ring makes sense. 

 

[fantasycurse42]

What's with people that wear those big circular earrings that destroy their earlobes?

Those huge stupid circles that go in the lobe and make it bigger? Then if they take them out, they have these huge stretched out earlobes with huge holes?

Those are the dumbest ####### things ever and anyone who wears that is an idiot.

Rings my father had bought. Silver,turquoise,southwest stuff. I like them. My father passed away about 2 weeks ago.

Condolences to you and your family for your loss. Knowing this- definitely wear them and wear them with pride

I'm waiting for when I'm invited to join The Mafia.

Sorry for your loss Bromingo. 

When I'm training I wear my grandfathers dog tags from WW2. When I'm tired or don't feel like working out they just remind me that I'm a giant ##### compared to him and what he went through for 3-1/2 years and to keep fighting on. 

Wear your dads rings with pride.
