Ok, here is a odd one. I’m pretty sure what he is saying or asking is just a myth. I havent actually heard this one myself. Or is there something like it?
I have been asking this question of many gay sites, the people on whom should know and be able to tell me, but no luck! What do rings on guys’ fingers mean? I THINK I know, but I’m not sure! I think a ring on the forefinger (left or right) means a guy is a butch top and loves ploughing arse. Is that correct? Also, a ring on the small left finger means a guy is gay and is usually bottom. Guys with forfinger rings usually pose as straight or bi, but they are more naturally hardcore gay, butch or even a willing, hunky, horny bottom as well!!! Is that correct, or am I deluding myself?
This is the first I’ve ever heard of most of this.
Years ago, when gay was in the closet, a man wearing a pinky ring was often a signal that he was gay. Then came keys on the right or left side of your jeans (right = bottom, left = top). And I know that before gay marriage became legal and popular a lot of gay men would wear a ring on their right-hand ring finger, a sort of rebellion, i.e. straights wear it on the left and we can’t get legally married so we’ll wear it on the right.
But I’ve never heard of anything else. But maybe … I just thought all the rings on index fingers and thumbs was just people following new trends.
It wouldnt surprise me if their used to be some truth in what he said. Like what Michael said, and also the old hanky codes. I think people stopped using that stuff when it became more socially aceptable to be gay. Sad really that their is a whole generation of people who dont know that side of being gay.
According to our twink models, the only thing a ring on a ring finger means is that the guy is taken.
I’ve never heard of any of the other ring uses.
Perhaps it’s one of those things, like the wearing of different colored bandannas in the back pocket, that had meaning at one time but no longer is used.
In other words, left is the straight ear piercing and right is the gay ear piercing.
It also sorta follows for hanky codes… Left is top (from a straight perspective, the more “respectable” act), right is for bottoms (something a straight guy would never do)…
Speaking of hanky codes every time I walk the dogs and shove plastic bags in my back left pocket I think “K-9 scat bottom”… lol
The only thing that I know is that there are studies about ring finger vs index finger length. The more of a difference, the more masculine you are suppose to be (according to a couple studies). Myth to me.
Looks like the surfer is trying to figure out what a guy is in real life based on where someone wears their rings. I wouldn’t trust the results in real life.
Considering that a lot of the surfer/AF/Hollister, etc. boys I used to see in the mall were nearly -all- bedecked with pucca shells, rings, and all kinds of ‘shinies’, I don’t think that it’s something that’d be completely reliable.
Though, when I was in high school, there was some sort of code with the jellie-bracelets that I never was quite able to decode.
I never was much for Nancy Drew, though I love Angela Lansbury. Go figure.
sorry.
