What assumptions might you make about a man wearing rings on every finger?

[userne192939124]

I'm actually asking for a writing characterisation rather than style and beauty but thought might be a good place to ask here.

In the same way that if you saw a man in a smart pin striped suit with a starched collar and polished shoes, you might assume he was probably very conventional, maybe from a public school background, a bit buttoned up and probably did a professional job, what kind of assumptions would you make about a man who wore an array of chunky silver rings on every finger?

This type of thing but no particular designs, and no tattoos.

Sort of an array of chunky differing rings on every finger. mostly silver and black. slightly gothic but not all of them.

Anything would be helpful whether character, personal style, industry, job?

That he wants to cause damage when he punches.

Reading the description my first thought went to a Jimmy Savile type character 😬
Looking at the image - more Jonny Depp

Obvs two very different takes 🥴😂

This is what I’d think…because where I was brought up, the kind of men that wore rings on every finger were street gang members and we knew not to mess with them. I’m from ‘the rough arse of Manchester’ 😬 (don’t live there now though 👌🏻)

Wanker

My partner wears loads of heavy silver rings; he’s a biker and likes the look and the lifestyle. He will dress conservatively when appropriate but keeps the rings to give his look more of an edge that’s true to his style and his personality.

He’s very gentle and does a very creative job.

Whoever said creepy 🤣

Arty and / or vain.
Wouldn't appeal to me but I am sure it would to some.

It would depend on the rest of his aesthetic really. If he was wearing biker gear, was obviously a heavy metal fan or dressed like a bohemian artist I'd consider it part and parcel of an alternative kind of persona. But if the rest of him looked like the classic medallion man or a sort of Jimmy Saville type (for want of a better example), then it would put me right off.

These replies are so interesting as the vast majority are derogatory.

Would we consider women who wear rings vain too then?

Seedy!

I don't like to make assumptions about people, but If I guessed anything

Not in a manual labour or job-that-uses-hands. Those rings would get in the way. Either very arty or if overtly masculine, tendency to be vain?, power statement (I'm the boss and others do my bidding in hands-on work).

I'd reckon he sees him as a bit edgy and alternatives but really thousands of men have this look. Ditto piercings, bandanas, tattoos, beard plaits. With both men and women who wear multiple rings I always wonder about hand washing and cleanliness

Its the male equivalent of brightly coloured hair on a woman

They have to wear a suit for work but it isn't their favoured way of dressing

I'd assume they were into heavy metal/ rock

vain. but i find any many overly conscious of projecting an image, which wearing a bunch of rings definitely signals to me, incredibly unattractive

You just take them off when washing 🤷🏻‍♀️
