thumb rings on ladies over 25

Posted: Feb 7, 2012

and earrings on older men (some rare exclusions) embarassing and gross. True or false.

False! I'm 62 and have always had at least 1 thumb - ring, sometimes multiple. (sm)

Why on earth would it matter which finger a person wears a ring on, other than a wedding ring? Why would their age matter?

Same with earrings on men. Regardless of age, some look great, some don't. It just depends on their personal style and what type of earring they choose.

I know some people (both men and women) that dress really outlandishly. But it's their personal style. And they all happen to be wonderful, intelligent people.

So I've got to question the statement that a thumb ring on a woman/earring on a man over 25 is "embarrassing & gross".

thumb rings and men with earrings - M

Not gross at all. I love rings. I'm not crazy about seeing men with an earring in each ear with very few exceptions. Some, like Katt Williams, can pull it off, but I just don't like 2 earrings on a guy. One is okay just depending on the guy.

I wear my husbands wedding ring on my thumb - when he is at work

Does not look gross! I dont want it lost and it fits there, so why not. He cannot wear it at work because he is a mechanic.

I would wear a thumb ring but I have big - knuckles so I think it

would be uncomfortable. I'm 47 and just got a toe ring last summer - my 77yo mom gave it to me! It took some getting used to, though.

My hubby used to wear an earring but gave it up when he entered the professional world after college. But I know that inner rebel is still in there :-)

I have no problem with thumb rings if they look - sm - XXX

good. I have a friend that wears them (she is about 42), look great on her. She is short, tanned and very fit. I would like to wear a thumb ring but don't think I can pull it off so I don't try. Older guys with earrings (well any guys pretty much) just look plain stupid to me, especially hoop earrings or really big diamonds. There are few exceptions to this rule.

Of my many rings, my thumb rings are the most - comfortable of all. -(sm)

They're the ones I never have to take off when typing, as they stay put and don't interfere, like those on my "ring fingers" do.

As an aside, where do those of you who think thumb rings are somehow "odd" or "offbeat", etc., live? In CA many people have them. (We have toe rings, too). Are rings on "non-traditional" fingers (or toes) considered in bad taste in other parts of the country?

Just wondering, because this is the first time I've EVER heard anyone say that only youngsters can wear rings on their thumbs! LOL !!!

I dont like tattooes or thumb rings on the elderly. To me it looks like a pathetic attempt to stay "hip." That is simply my personal opinion. I do not comment when i see one.

who dress like gypsies or Stephanie Nicks. They may have worn thumb rings before the young people did, but their gypsy look is a whole nuther category of inappropriateness.

So what are "elderly" people supposed to do with the - wannie

tattooes they got when they were "young?" Just for the record, I'm 52, don't have a tattoo, don't wear a thumb ring, keep my hair a shorter length and all the other things us "elderly" people should/shouldn't do, lol.

So are we supposed to remove our tats when we get older? - Happy MT Robin

I have a tattoo that I got for my 42nd birthday. It's a symbol that has a lot of meaning to me and is not something that is "hip" or widely used.

I just find it odd that you comment about tattoos on the elderly. It's like it's okay to have them when we're younger, but as we age we should get rid of them.

if you feel that - sm

It's just a ring. I'm 47 and have one. I also got my nose pierced when I was 44. I wear a small gold or silver stud, no rings/hoops. I also have multiple piercings in my ears; 4 on one, plus got the cartilage pierced on that ear when I was about 32, so 5 total in that ear, and 3 in the other.

I didn't know there was an age limit - If it makes the person feel good - whats next

[ In Reply To ..]
age limit on long hair. I say if someone wants to wear ear rings, ring for their fingers (no matter which finger) and no matter whether they are man or woman what is wrong with that. There is nothing embarrassing or gross about jewelry. Maybe you should look inside yourself and figure out why you thing this is embarrassing or gross.

Age limits and such - Mgc

I agree. If one likes jewelry and tattoos, that's fine with me. I don't have a tattoo because I don't like needles. I used to think they looked trashy, but I've changed about that, especially since my two daughters got them. :). It's amazing what one will accept when their own kids do it.

My hair is also shoulder length, and my mom and aunts are constantly bugging me about it, but I like it and so does my significant other, my friends, and my daughters. If my mom had her way, I'd have very short hair and what she and her sisters call a "fuzzy perm" that they believe is appropriate for anyone over 40.. lol.. And yes, they all have a "fuzzy perm." And they all look like deranged monkeys. LOL! I love my mom and aunts, though. They're crazy. Oh,, and the polyester pants suits.. gotta have one of them in every color, too, according to them. I just love it!

"Deranged monkeys!" LOL! (That made my day, obviously) - Lordy deliver me from the Fuzzy Perm!

I am 37 years old, I wear thumb rings when they look good with my outfit, my nose is pierced, my navel is pierced, I STILL shop in the juniors department and I have at least 14 tattoos and at least six of them were gotten this past year. People don't typically believe my age and I run into former classmates all of the time who are my age and look 20 years older than me. I think we should stay young as long as we can/want, nothing at all wrong with that:)

I'm with you, Nik!! (s/m) - (Its not a bummer to be a boomer)

I'm 62. Each thumb has a ring. Each ear has 3 piercings, plus an ear cuff or two. No tats, but a friend of mine (school teacher in her 40s) has the most beautiful tat I've ever seen - Jerry Garcia on her shoulder/bicep area. I roller skate. I street skate on inlines. My hair was waist length, just "shortened" it recently to mid-scapula level. It's still brown, with only a touch of gray underneath. Sometimes I highlight it with blonde. And sometimes I highlight with pink or purple, if I feel inclined to do so. I have 2 toe rings. I ride a boy's mountain bike. I drive at night with no problems. I hike alone. I go out at night, when I can, and have fun. People in the checkout line still call me "miss" sometimes, instead of "ma'am". I always shop in the Junior's department. The styles are cuter, more hip & up-to-date. The "matrons" department is just too dull and depressing. I like black, green, or dark blue nail polish. I don't wear eye makeup, except for a touch of mascara & liner (upper only) if I'm going out. I like the X-Games sports competitions. I listen to ALL genres of music (rap, too - it has its good moments). I'm shocked when I look at pictures of my old high school classmates as they appear now - they're all old, fat, and bald. How did that happen? I refuse to completely "grow up", or to "act my age", as some would like me to do. In the coming years my body will continue to age, but the kid inside is still going strong.

You go girl! - see message

I don't know if you'll even see my message as it's been awhile since you posted, but I just had to tell you I'm proud of you. I'm 51. I tend to be a bit more conservative. I do have a toe ring I haven't worn in years, just cos I don't feel like wearing it. I'd wear thumb rings if I had one and it was pretty. I've got 3 piercings in 1 year and 2 in the other. I'm married to a conservative guy, but if I was single I would dye my hair back with streaks of pink and gray and I'd get a stud for my nose, but no other metal on my face. I'd never get a tattoo though for fear of hep c, plus when I die I don't want the mortician to be mortified at seeing a tattoo on a 98 year old woman all stretched out and not as pretty as the day I got it (yes I plan to live that long - so far so good) :-)

All I have to say is you are an inspiration to all of us. Do what makes you feel good and who cares what other people think. Grew up in a small town that if you wore slacks on a Sunday the whole town would know and boy would you get it from your grandma.

Times are changing.

I guess you think by age 30 you should be in a - nursing home!!

Is there any solution to trigger thumb besides surgery? Over the past month my thumb joint has been kind of "clunking," not never totally locking, and doesn't completely flex.

So, I was watching a television show. I guess it's become the new "thing" for older women to prey on younger men, and the younger men to look for "cougars". Wondering, how young would you go? One of the women on the show was 54 (she looked really good, but had a lot of work done...) and regularly dated men in their 20s! That to me is way to young. My feeling is, if you're old enough to be a mom or grandmother, best to stick to your age "box". ...

saying I was going to take up sewing. In high school home ec class, we had a sewing project and I liked it, but never kept up with it. My mom can sew on buttons, patches, and hem a pair pants by hand in a pinch, but machine sewing was something she never learned. Her mother, my grandmother, was the seamstress in the family. She could make clothes, quilts, you name, she could sew it. However, my mom just never bothered to learn the skill like my aunts did. Any ...

The on the job affair lasted for a year or more, even years later we reconnected for a short period. Fond memories. ...
