Why not? Rings add personality to your look. Personally, I love rings.
Way too many things are gendered in our society for no good reason. There’s way too much of “This gender can wear this, but that gender can’t” going on. Ik “Men's Rings” are a thing, but gender shouldn’t be associated with rings in the first place; everyone has fingers. Ffs even ski poles are gendered. Why on earth do ski poles have gender distinctions? They’re ski poles!
Men wearing rings has gone on for thousands of years. Beautiful craftsmanship goes into it / it’s part of our history. Yes it became trendier starting about 8 years ago than it had been in recent years, but it’s nothing new or weird.
I agree the tik tok boys buying the low quality shit off Amazon is kind of cringe though. Especially when you see em all walking around with the same exact feather/anchor/skull ring.
I am a ring wearer myself. Of course the one I wear that I received from my wife. Others have been gifts from special people throughout my life. I have a 1/4" craftmans wrench that a friend bent and formed for me that I wear, I have a custom made silver skull ring I received from a customer for fixing his motorcycle. I have made my own custom jewelry such as 1" stainless steel nut I drilled and sanded smooth and others out of motorcycle parts. I eventually got my knuckles tatted so I dont wear these as often as I use to but, like stated above, who F'n cares if a man wears jewelry.lol

If I don't wear my ring my wife gets pretty angry for some reason. I just wear a Qalo silicone band because I can't stand wearing my actual band for fear of being degloved. I can't figure out the whole wearing tons of rings trend.

I need to get a silicon band too for this reason. Also, it is highly recommended to not wear any rings skiing or any other outdoor activity. If you jam a finger and it swells up the ring can cut off your circulation and needs to be cut off or you face permanent damage.
Personally I have my wedding ring and thats it. I am used to my wedding ring but anything else on my fingers feels weird.
Yeah I have a silver ring that my sister gave me a few years ago. I used to wear a those rubber band bracelets in college and she told me it was time to grow up haha. I really like it and get a lot of compliments on it from girls tbh. 10/10 would recommend for my NS brethren.

Lmao same here. Not trying to get a ring avulsion. Half the time I don't wear it cuz no jewelry in certain parts of my job, or cuz I'd lose it pulling gloves off. Those silicone rings suck imo and are like a bandaid not letting your skin breathe. Wife has given up on caring lol. I pretty much just wear it when we go out or on vacation.
Lol, un-ironically though the only dudes Ik that wore rings would put like 3-4 on their hitting hand and pretty much use em as brass knuckles. They can really fuck up someone if they got sharp edges or anything, school eventually had to ban more than a few per hand cause kids were pulling up with a full hand of rings and rocking each others shit.
When i was a kid i bought a small turquoise ring on a trip to the Grand Canyon. A few weeks later i read a story in the paper about some ex astronaut dude jumping off the tailgate of his truck parked next to his barn. He slid his hand against the barn wall and his ring caught a nail and ripped his finger off. Took that ring off right then and never have worn one again.

I loved Dylan the day I saw his Gravis part come out. Always wanted that Spanish galleon ring of his

I heard a story of a guy that was replacing his car battery and the live wire touched his ring and basically cauterized the ring to his finger. Supposedly the wiring was faulty but its still a risk.

I only wear my actual wedding ring for special occasions. I'm terrified that I will get stung by a bee and won't be able to get it off. Silicon rings are the bees knees.

Anyone know about SawStop table saws? Basically they retract the blade really fast when they sense current from skin or metal making contact. My wood shop teacher told me the only injury from one he knows of (other than kickback) was someone whose ring caught it and when the blade retracted it ripped the ring down and cut off his finger. Probably would've been the same outcome on any table saw tbh.

Had a homie who somehow got his ring caught on something and it peeled the skin off his finger like taking a condom off. Literally looked like a condom of bloody skin

That's called degloving. Can happen to your wiener too
I wear my wedding ring if my wife and I go out or just do anything outside of work. Otherwise I wear a Groove Zeus ring. So awesome, and I’m a diver for work and the other rubber rings would make my finger get super nasty after being underwater for hours. Other than that, nothing else.
