SuzieQQ Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi, I apologize if this topic has been covered on this site before. I am new here. I met a guy at work that I am kind of interested in. I don't know much about him, he is only a temporary consultant so no one knows him and he won't be around that long. He isn't wearing a ring so I don't know if he is married. Do married men usually wear there ring? Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Some do, some don't. It's a personal preference you have to ask to find out. My father was married to my mom for 28years and never once wore a ring, my brother wears his ring on a necklace instead of his finger so he doesnt lose it many other guys I know do the same thing.

Up and Down Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 My parents have been married 35 years and my father has never worn his ring. I know other long term couples that the husband doesn't. One of my other friends has been married for 5+ years and his wife wears his ring. Matter of preference. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 i'm not sure i could as i'm allergic to a lot of metals touching me for too long. i'd get a tattoo though. no not her name. Link to comment
Mutley Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I never took mine off when I was married. Link to comment
Supa_gurl Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 My husband never wears his (hasn't in at least 5 years). If I don't wear mine he sure comments about it though. Double standard! Link to comment
KG Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I went without mine when working construction...so many horror stories. But when I started running my own business, I started wearing it again. Link to comment
sidehop Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Wow I didn't know so many guys didn't. I asked my g/f and she said she would never see me without a ring on her finger if when we are married. I may take it off depending on the work I'm doing (some are just hazardous) but for daily, I don't see why it's necessary to take it off... Link to comment
tangi39 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 My husband hardly ever wears his, he's afraid of losing it. Don't assume no ring means no wife. Even if he was single, I'd proceed with caution if he's only a temp, you might get too attached and set yourself up for heartbreak. Link to comment
Loki71 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Don't wear mine for a couple of reasons. 1. it no longer fits (could get it resized) 2. I don't like any kind stuff on me I don't wear a watch, neckless, or anything. Link to comment
l0velife Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I would prefer my husband to when he's not working.I know most men work hard jobs that include labor such as construction/cooking and what not. I don't want him to wear it to scare off women because most women are attracted to married men-the feeling of chasing something that's already been captured. I think the ring is a symbol-what you put on one another at your wedding-it's the symbol of love. I would wear mine because I want to show and be reminded of the fact that I love my husband and he's there for me. I'm a touchy person Link to comment
allypally Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 My father has never worn his ring and my parents have been married for 40yrs! He wears a signet ring though. Link to comment
purpleduckie Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Wow, you married young! Uh, what kind of assumptions are you making? Link to comment
george237 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 In my business (desk job) hardly any of the men or women wear thier rings. Not sure why they don't if I ever get married I would be proud to wear it. Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'm not making any assumptions. l0velife's age is listed at 19 and she's married. She didn't say she was married? Link to comment
Parsley Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 My dad has always worn his ring. I've rarely seen him without it, mum too, they take it off if they can't wear gloves to protect their hands from whatever they're doing. I'm not sure if dad can now actually...his fingers aren't quite as skinny as they were when he was 26! Link to comment
calidreamin0 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 omg, this is such a good topic. i had always thought ALL men wore their ring. well until i started my last job. i noticed lots of attractive young men that 'seemed' dateable. well, when i asked about them...most of them were MARRIED and never wore their rings. and those same guys were all cheaters. i would be pissed if i was married and my husband didnt wear his ring to work or when he went out. these men shouldnt be married.

Mythical_Suicide Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 i would be pissed if i was married and my husband didnt wear his ring to work or when he went out. these men shouldnt be married. Why is that? It's really a personal preference. I also know quite a few married women who don't wear rings simply because they just don't like jewelry. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be married, after all it is just a piece of jewelry not the actual commitment itself. My fiance and I have actually had this discussion and I have told him if he chooses not to wear his ring that's fine but he better be sure to tell chics he's married.Also think about it like this, alot of chics see the ring and think it's more of a chase and go for them because they have the ring on.

SuzieQQ Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 I understand a lot of guys that are working with their hands might not wear their rings due to accidents, but I am talking about an accountant with a desk job. Based on the replies I received, I guess I am just going to have to bring up the topic somehow. For all you guys out there that don't wear your ring, this is why you should - so women looking at you as a potential date will stop looking at you in this way! It is so hard to find a good man - do what you can to make it a little easier on us!! Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well its a personal preference and she would be pissed just like you are ok with it. I was just asking why it is such a "deal breaker" so to speak. Hence the reason I also stated it's a personal preference. Just trying to understand why it's such a big deal to some. That's all.

Rings aren't a sign that someone is off the market ALOT of females see a wedding ring as more of a go and "fun". Link to comment

Rings aren't a sign that someone is off the market ALOT of females see a wedding ring as more of a go and "fun". I have standards and I would never date a married man. If what you are saying is true, that is so very sad. Why do people bother getting married if they are just going to cheat anyway. I have never even cheated on a boyfriend and I would most definitely not cheat on a husband. Link to comment

That's great that you have standards and I completely agree with you, however this day in age marriage is nothing but a piece of paper and a ring on the finger to alot of people. It's really sad.

calidreamin0 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 the men i worked with worked office jobs. they didn't wear rings because... they enjoyed women wanting them. it wasn't the jewelry issue at all. they all cheated too. the nice guys at the office who always brought their wives to things and sent them flowers...they wore rings. i know its just a ring, but this is western culture and that RING is the symbol of it all.
