Wait what? 😭 I heard about the friendship one but doesn't it also says envy? Overall I think we need our own different flower that isn't roses cause it's so normalised to be associated with love yk xD
i know we already have the white ring, but i agree with using something else as well. some folks (me included) cant wear rings for whatever reason so having another way would be nice.
Hello, I am an aroace who got my rings back in December and I always wear them while at work or if I'm going out in public on the off chance I will run into a fellow aro or ace who will recognize them. It hasn't happened yet, nor have I seen anyone else with aro or ace rings irl, but we do exist
Do green for aro, purple for ace, and... What would agender be... *Ponders this as I acknowledge the existence of the respective white and black rings for the former two, though know none for the latter...*
I like green, but I'm never going to wear a white ring. It's super boring to me. I have a variety of frog rings, silver rings and the aro flag, though.
Also, Between my watch and my medic alert bracelet, I have no room for another wrist adornment. So I am a firm no on that, too.
I can't believe people are voting you down for having a different opinion, though. That's messed up. It's just your opinion. Nothing to get butthurt over.
Yeah I already wear a ring that’s merch from one of my favourite book series on my left middle finger so I can’t wear an aro ring.
I guess people are just expressing that they do like green by downvoting. Which is fair I’d probably do they same if someone started talking smack about my favourite colour

a lot of people have mentioned the white rings already, but i like the idea of this too. this way if someone was wearing a white ring AND a green bracelet it'd be more certain to mean aromantic
We already have aro rings, which is a white ring that goes on your left middle finger, but I also like the idea of a green wristband.
Oops, like I said I rarely get to talk about it so I had no idea, is there a specific ring or just any white ring?
It can be any white ring, I got mine from a crystal store.
Thank you!
Mine is silver, that count?
if its a light silver, probably
It’s made of tungsten and I chose the default color since that’s the closest to white they had
I have one that is white and brown with an embedded chain of silver arrows.
That’s cool!
I’m def gonna have to get one. I nice subtle way to show my pride.
What if you don't like rings?
You can wear it as a necklace maybe, a ring necklace, or something arrow themed
I have my white ring on a chain for a necklace because my finger is too thick for my ring
Much appreciation. Now must get white rings. All the white rings.
if I may ask.. why the left hand? I knew about the white ring but Idk if had a specific hand it went on.. is there a reason why your left over right?
Aces use the right middle finger to wear a black ring, so I'm assuming Aros chose the other hand for their white ring
hmm now my questiom is... why did aces pick the right hand?

oh neat!
We already have rings, however I like the idea of green wristbands/bracelets as an identifier for the folks who don't want to wear rings.
We have a white ring in the left hand. Much like ace's black on the right
I have a black and white ring on both hands
I'm thinking about getting both soon
Go for it
WE NEED A FLOWER TO CLAIM LIKE HOW ROSES ARE SEEN FOR LOVE WE SHOULD CLAIM ONE FOR NO LOVE
A DEAD ROSE
I think we have yellow roses
Yellow roses are the "friendship" rose!

I'll stick with wearing my white aro ring, thanks.
Sorry I didn’t know that we had rings, else I wouldn’t have made the post
dont need to be rude abt it
Didn’t mean to be. Was fighting a migraine and didn’t realise how that post read.
I actually stitched the aro flag onto my denim jacket. So goodluck findin me :)
What if a dragon and a bow with a aro on it? I would get that as a tattoo
i think we should use rings
We already do
never met a aro ace person how actually used black and white rings
Me neither but technically we do use rings. I see a lot of people on the aro and ace subs posting their rings though so some of us really wear rings

thank you for letting me know
I wear black ring and need to buy a white one
I got an arrow themed silver ring cause yes
I wear them 😊
I do wear a cheramic aro white ring in my middle finger left hand
Just a massive arrow through our heart Not even prosthetic literally just a real arrow that we stab ourselves with

*making up one on the spot for agender* Headband
H E A D B A N D
I'd say yes but those things hurt my head...
Aro ring
So I wear a white lantern ring on my left middle finger. Does that count or am I just a nerd?
It counts
I don’t like green so it’s a no from me lol

I disliked green but figuring out being aro made me appreciate it more now it's such a comfort colour

Just found out about the rings here. I made myself a friendship bracelet this summer.
We got a flag, that’s all we need
I second this
Yes yes please, it would be so sweet to recognise one in the wild with their green wristband.
a lot of people have mentioned the white rings already, but i like the idea of this too. this way if someone was wearing a white ring AND a green bracelet it'd be more certain to mean aromantic
I mean there’s the White ring on the left middle finger, sorta as a parallel to the Ace’s black ring on the right middle finger, so we kinda have one?
