EmbrACE_it Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hello! Embr here. I was wondering how many asexuals wear the black ring on the middle finger of their right hand. I'm debating getting one myself, and was just wondering how many people actually use it. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moophie Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I currently don't but I do want one. (why does it have to be a ring? I hate rings... stupid short, stubby fingers...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ruuua Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I didn't even know this was a thing tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FemmeFalconer Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I wear one. I wear it as a reminder that I'm okay being me and it's comforting to know that there's nothing wrong with being the way you are regardless of society's standards. There is a post about this in the census that might give you a better idea of how many members here use them if you don't mind browsing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LettACE Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I actually made a poll on the census forums for this. If you look at the results it might help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LibelulaMortis Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'm in between rings at the moment, I keep breaking them. A couple local aces I know wear black rings, it's how we found one another, so I think its a great way to find other aces! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShyFeather Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I wear mine all the time. It was perfect for me since before I knew I was ace I wore promise rings for much of the same reasons. Wearing a ring became a comfort for me. It's nice for something inside you that's invisible to have a material form on you at all times. It's very validating. I recommend it if you're interested in getting one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Busrider Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I don't and won't. I was once engaged and quite uncomfortable with wearing a ring. At work I am not permitted to and getting rings off seems as uncomfortable as getting out of boots without laces or zips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
biancaboricua13 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 At this point, I understand the meaning and I don't care if anyone else does. But it sure is fun to flip people off with a black ring right there, insert maniacal laugh....bwahahahahahahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Garin Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 They come in handy for ace meetups if you live in an area with enough people to do those, gives a way to spot each other. Beyond that I doubt most people notice, it's rather improbable to run into another ace randomly who knows about the ring, sees yours, etc... so personally, I wear mine for me, as I've noted before- a reminder that I'm not alone in being ace, that kind of thing.

DoomDodo Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I do wear it in a meager attempt at warding off people and finding other aces. My friend and I made some for each other out of black wire but they don't have much longevity. I'm planning to eventually save up a bit of money and order one from lifestyle rings (or maybe just spray paint and coat one black.. I remember having black spray paint somewhere.)

ManPlush Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I do wear one every day, and at first it was to reassure myself. But now, it's mostly because I feel a weird pride when I put it on, makes me happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marrow Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I might get one; ring #1 is getting lonely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YamiCake Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I would, except I hate wearing rings. If I could put the ring on a necklace like Frodo and have it mean the same thing then sure. xD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyssamarie1023 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I have a few ace friends who wear them. I do not but since I'm not out I've never had the guts to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do not but since I'm not out I've never had the guts to. I'm not out either but I've been wearing one for a couple of weeks and no-one knows what it is/what it means so there's probably no reason to be nervous if you want to wear one. If you get questions you aren't ready for you can always just say it doesn't mean anything, you just think it looks cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lyssamarie1023 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 That's true. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c1024 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Count me in, I wore one pretty consistently for a while. A couple people I ran into at a nearby university actually recognized it, they were pretty cool people. I noticed a member of the student leadership was sporting one too! I don't get out much, though, so I haven't spotted anyone else with one. Family tends to ask about it a lot, nobody else does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cinary Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I don't have one but I definitely want it so I'll probably buy one some time soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
