I don’t think that rings are good for blood flow in the finger.
Most women I know wear at least one ring, often more. Their fingers haven’t fallen off and don’t look to be blood-starved. Most married men wear a ring. Their fingers look fine, too.
Evidence should be relevant to the claim. The claim was “[not] good for blood flow in the finger”. The original claim before that was that “[w]earing a ring is not particularly practical”. None of these two claims seem to be anywhere close to to reality.
I have worn 3 rings in my life. The first one broke; it was made of coconut. The second one, I lost it. The third one was uncomfortable.
None of those prejudiced my blood flow. Now, I’m obviously not saying that no ring will do this, but that we would only need to pick a proper one. The second ring I mentioned was roughly 5mm wide, which is enough space to write LessWrong on it.

Whatever happened to looking for evidence?

That’s a strawman. I didn’t claim that it makes finger fall off.
So what is it exactly that you are claiming?
Likely smaller range of effective movement. Woman wears a lot of rings just as they wear high heels that are also not ergonomic.
Seeking around I find studies that show that rings are very unhygenic for hospital stuff but not much investigation beyond that.
Umm… no.
Just like with the “blood flow”, I think you’re imagining things.
Rings are certainly inconvenient when you’re doing some things with your hands, but it’s not because they restrict the range of finger movement.
I just have this urge to say this, and I think I’ll go ahead: that’s what she said
