Let's discuss Rings for men

I noticed many of the PUA gurus wear artistic rings on their fingers. More than one or two rings, usually.
Do rings enhance a men's fashion? If so, what kind of ring do you guys recommend? (Feel free to post pics below)
Is this a prop that can enhance any man's game or does it have to fit your personality?
Personally I always thought this was usually kinda gothic, punk and nowadays hipster stuff, but I might review my opinion if it helps me getting some lizards in the bag. Especially black titanium rings look interesting to experiment with.
Thoughts?

I used to wear multiple rings (generally 2 or 3 tops, across both hands, not 10 lol) in late teens, early 20s. In my older 20s I cut that shit back and only sometimes would wear 1 really unique but subtle ring that suited my outfit.
They weren't too showy and I just did it because other guys didn't and so it stood out. I had a thing for jewelry but not real bling bling stuff. I thought of it more as a fashion accessory than having some peacocking PUA purpose - it just makes perfect sense to me that something subtle, eye-catching, and different would make even a simple outfit. But I guess it all comes down to the same motive in the end.
I will say that it wasn't uncommon at all to get people mentioning it - the ocaissional hater guy with a joke, since I grew up in a real redneck type of area, but most often compliments and most often from women.
Even a somewhat sizable one on the index finger can be brutal in a fight, which also means someone can get hurt beyond what you might expect if you hit them in the right(wrong) place, so be careful about that if you tend to find yourself in those types of situations.
One problem though. I used to wear just a white gold band on the opposite ring finger (i.e. right hand) sometimes. Girls still often mistook it for a wedding band even though it was the wrong hand. Go figure. I guess I should have expected it but I was still pretty young so maybe didn't think it through.
Sometimes that actually worked in my favor. Other times it did not. Just ask any married guy and he'll tell you that wedding rings actually sometimes increase interest from women. I think it'd actually be fun to expirement with now. Didn't someone do that a while back?
I'd buy a ring again if I came across one I liked. I haven't worn many accessory pieces or jewelry since I set foot in Asia. I bet it would go over well here.
I don't think rings need to be expensive to work. Of course, if you have a really classy style, it should fit the look, but try to keep your eye out in small botique gift stores that sell hand-crafted jewelry that is not outrageous. I've found cool ones in tattoo and piercing shops nestled in among all the more outrageous stuff, and there are also some good finds at festival type settings where people sell arts and crafts.
I understand the sentiment that a ring should have a story behind it. That can be a good idea, but I think the same guys who say that will often wear a watch or a neckalace for fashion alone, so what's the difference? As for me, I just view it on the same level as any other accessory without a specific practical purpose. If it looks good and accents your look, how can you go wrong?

I wear one, and it's on a necklace. My hand feels weird with a ring on it.
