Same same,

Becouse of work i can not were a ring. It is metal and working on high votage can kill me. When working on a latter can take off my finger.
When i go out at night i allways have my ring on.
HOWEVER I DO NOT GO TO CLUBS ALONE!!! I am married..
If i go out with my friends, my ring is on my finger allways.. I love my wife and i want the world to know it..
If these men go to clubs with out there ring on, they are slime.. They took a wife to support and to forsake all other women..
If you are getting wed. And your husband does not want a ring. STOP THE WEDDING NOW!!!
I will not go into how the modern women are killing our socity.
However there are many slim men out there. There is no reason for a man to answer your advance if he has a wife..
What can you do about this girl? Stop looking for men at the clubs.. they only want to sex you..
Join a singles group at your church. or join a singles group in your comunity. Go fishing, hicking, exc.. Join a group that helps the underprivliged. Find a man with a heart and a commintment to support others..

The only times I haven't worn my ring it due to work or something I was doing that made it unsafe and sometimes afterwards simply because I hadn't had time to put it back on. However, some guys do it to pick up girls without letting the girl know they are married. Also, some don't wear rings because they don't believe in them. Depending on how the guy is acting towards you should tell you why he chose not to wear his ring. Even when I don't have mine own I often mention my wife when talking to someone.

I never understood the big deal. My sister in law always complains about my brother because he hates wearing his ring, but she's so insecure he gets in trouble if strange girls on the street are wearing crop tops and daisy dukes.

My parents never wore their wedding rings. Only on special events when we're getting together with family. They both find it really annoying to have to wear rings every single day.

I really don't see the big deal. It doesn't mean they aren't happy. I know guys who are unhappy who wear their wedding rings all the time, and guys who are happily married who never do.

Anyway I sometimes get into situations such as yourself where I'll be flirting with a guy (and he'll be flirting back - I never start flirting if they don't start first) then I find out they're married. Just don't take flirting seriously it's just fun.

Neither of my parents wear a ring. My dad never has because it is dangerous with his job. He's seen too many other guys get theirs caught and then lose the finger. My mom wears hers occasionally when she feels like it, but it isn't something she does often. Neither of them think twice or care about not wearing them. To me that simply says how deeply they feel about each other and trust each other. They don't need a material reminder or something to rub into others faces.

I don't wear a ring. I hate all jewelry and think it looks gaudy. A wedding ring also has absolutely no emotional attachment for me. I think the idea of wedding rings are just a scam to make money, and the public was stupid enough to fall for it. As a result I despise the concept of the wedding ring on principle.

I got her a ring because she wanted it, and I want her to be happy. I felt that was a fair compromise. A good compromise doesn't mean, me giving her everything she wants. I don't think she has a right to expect me to be forced to wear something everyday of my life. I don't try to control her or what she wears, and I would rather have remained single than be with a woman that was that controlling of me.

My concept of romance, is not something that is dictated by society. If I am told I have to get her a ring, or to buy her flowers on Valentine's day, then it is impossible for there to be any real meaning behind these gifts. Those are romantic gifts with a deeper meaning, they are just obligations. The things that I believe have meaning are the things that I am not expected to do for her, but still go out of my way to do for her.

I'm not married. That being said... I could understand some guys not wearing a wedding ring. I could easily assume I probably wouldn't wear a ring.

1) I'm forgetful and a little clumsy. Getting me an expensive ring would not be a smart idea.

2) I work with my hands - I'm an artist. I don't want things always clacking against a ring. or getting paint or chemicals on it. I'm left handed, and I might be more likely to damage it.

I would be open to wearing a ring on a chain; if I was being obviously hit on and I felt the woman was seriously hinting at something, I'd flat out tell her I'm married, even if it didn't come up naturally in conversation before her flirting with me.

My parents have a friend who burned his finger. He was working on a car, I believe, and because of the metal, it made the burn more severe - he no longer wears a ring because of the pain.

I know people who wear rings either to fend of creepos or to get women to flirt with them, so a ring doesn't always mean anything. There was this girl I was interested in, then I noticed the ring, so I didn't pursue it. 2 Years later, I found out she was single; she had broken up with a boyfriend, but it wasn't a long term relationship.

I understand that this is frustrating because the assumptions are not always so safe to make any more. Ring - not sure if it's a purity ring, an engagement ring, a wedding ring, just a nice ring to wear. Who knows any more?

1. I don't like jewelry. I don't even like hats that aren't for utility only.

2. Last time I posted the picture my comment was deleted, (bunch of wusses), but there are several cases of an object catching on a man's ring and stripping the finger to the bone as a result.

Anyone that has worn a ring for even a short amount of time knows when it is removed leaves a grove on the finger. But that's not in question. If I read the question properly you are in reference to guys that never put a ring on for their nuptials. The reasons could be a dislike of wearing rings or it is designed to prevent women like your selves from knowing that they are married. I will not remove mine for much of anything. I have been married for nearly 18 years and now I do take it off if there is an element of danger in a job that I am doing since my first ring was mashed and cut into my finger thus having to be cut in order to get it off. But beyond that it will reain on my finger where my lady placed it

I've heard of single men wearing a wedding ring because it puts a woman's guard down. They can engage in small talk without her wondering if she is being hit on. Later, after making a connection, off comes the ring. After all it, he never claimed to be married, he was just wearing a ring.

Peter0 · Answer

I don't expect I'll wear a ring all the time... but if my partner's around, it'll probably be clear I'm taken. On the other hand, we're both okay with the fact that I'm a huge flirt, and since I flirt with just about anything, I don't think I've led anyone on or anything. Flirting can be fun ^_^ Even if it is never going to lead to anything.

So, yeah, it's possible the guy just doesn't care to wear a ring all the time, but isn't looking to hook up.

I usually wear my ring, but not always. Sometimes because I'm doing a Dagwood, and sometimes just because. It's all about me, but I'm not out to deceive anyone. Oddly, no ring, no female attention, but with ring some attention almost always from ladies with rings of their own.

so-sad · Answer

I tended to use my ring as a barometer of my happiness in the relationship. When I had the least hope in things, I would take it off, hoping she would ask why. That's just me though. I later learned that was a crappy thing to do, I figured it out when she stopped wearing hers.

Red_Arrow · Answer

Had a ring. It would slide over my knuckles and fall off. Got it sized down a little. Then it was tight enough over the area between knuckles that bending my fingers stressed it till it snapped. No size worked. If it had, I would have proudly worn it to proclaim I was 'property' of my wonderful wife.

Anpu23 · Answer

I have been married, divorced, and now back with my ex. I say we are married, but in truth we were divorced over 10 years ago. We live together, have an adult daughter and 3 grand kids. I lost my marriage ring years ago, and don't see a need to get a new one. I don't cheat, and if some girl (or guy) flirts I just politely explain that I am married rather than going into the whole story.

kchazel · Answer

I was married for 20 years and never wore my ring because I work in power plants and didn't want to screw it up or lose a finger. My wife was on-board and even though a little flirting was accepted and returned I made it clear that I was married.

Michael-in-SC · Answer

I know several married men who do not wear rings because in the types of work they do wearing one could present a hazard.

Curmudgeon · Answer

I don't get that. When I was married, I always word the ring, unless it was some situation where I couldn't, like working with machinery or otherwise getting my hands dirty.

Applefan1 · Answer

My dad espically does not wear his ring at work but that is because of safety reasons. It is too dangerous for him to wear anything like that doing the type of job he does which is why he also can't wear a watch.

I don't wear a ring because it would be hazardous when doing some things I do on a regular basis. My wife would rather I not wear a ring than lose the finger it was on. I tend to agree with her.

Anonymous · Answer

Lost my ring years ago, and my wife was treating me particularly badly then. I didn't think of re-fixing it...

Of course, I never ever pretend, even remotely, that I'm unmarried... just that I don't wear a ring.

gapminder · Answer

Well some guys like me have to work in electrical and high power environments so wearing the ring is hazardous during work. But if not at work then there's no valid excuse. Other than appearing available.
