Wedding rings.
Posted : 15 Oct, 2010 02:30 PM

As both a Christian and a gentleman, a wedding ring means something to me. So my question to you ladies is this: Should I ever believe a woman who says she's not married but wears a ring? Should I just assume she's trouble if she's the one with the ring and putting the moves on me? Or do you think that it could be a case where hubby died? Or maybe she's trying to keep everyone distant from herself? Need some feminine input here....

I don't see the benefit of single women wearing a wedding ring. It will keep the quality guys away but the not-so-quality guys won't care and will attempt anyway.

Because when a guy hits on you while you're wearing the ring, then you know they're a not quality guy. Duh. :ROFL: jk jk

Honestly rainbowian, I don't know. Any number of reasons. Although, I assume you were responding specifically to the reason of deterring guys from flirting? And you're right for the most part. I think someone else when they were saying that's why some women do it also said it doesn't work. But there are lots of other reasons. An infinite number of reasons. Though if it's an actual wedding ring, then I'm not sure...

Well, she's the one coming to my job, and I DON'T wear a ring cause I'm not married....I do know that she has a four year old child that she loves dearly. The rings are silver, I think, one plain band and one diamond ring worn on the left ring finger. The diamond ring is on the inside of the two, with the plain band being closer to her fingertip, and the diamond closer to the hand. I've no mutual friends with this woman, and I know she doesn't go to church. When I asked her if she went to church, she answered "no, does that make you think less of me?" So I assume if she's honest about the child and church, she'd be honest about the husband or lack thereof. I guess I need to ask her then...thanks for all the input!

I wear my fake ring when I go out by myself quite a bit... especially late at night... Somebody told me once that serial killers and scary people like that are less likely to attack a woman with a ring, because if she shows up missing, it's likely to be noticed by her significant other fairly soon. If she's single, then nobody may notice for days.

I would just be polite and ask about it. Maybe mention how beautiful it is or unique. You never know, there could be a good story behind that ring.



I wear my mom and dads original wedding bands. When they had a recommitment ceremony ages ago, they purchased new bands. Because the others had gotten too small or tarnished. My parents weren't really able to afford quality rings back then.



My mom had tiny fingers so I wear hers on my pinky. And my dads is on my ring finger. I come from a family of small hands. Lol.



I wear them to remember that love lasts. And its my way of keeping them close to me. Wherever I go.

It is DEFINITELY a wedding ring. The diamond ring is the engagement ring piece, and then they add the plain band to it to form the complete wedding ring. However, like pixy and Nicole just said, that does not necessarily mean she is married. Nicole had a good idea. Just comment on it and see how she reacts. It's possible that she was married and isn't anymore. Sometimes, whether it's a case of divorce or death, people feel "naked" without their ring so to speak, so they wear it even though they are no longer married because they're so used to it.

I'm confused about the original post... do you think the tradition of weddings rings is silly, or do you pursue women regardless of the presence of one? Anyway, after you've described the rings, yeah those are wedding rings, and just because someone doesn't lie about everything doesn't mean they tell the truth about everything. Just something to consider.

Hey Siylii, I'm sorry for the confusion of the original post. As a Christian and a gentleman, wedding rings mean something to me. They mean "married." And the Bible dictates my code of conduct towards married women. That being said, I'm glad Pixy said something, because I've got a couple female friends who "become" married real quick if a bad guy won't leave them alone. I've even become the "insta-hubby" in some of those situations. I have no problem with wedding rings, every culture displays things their own way.

That being said, the reason I even wonder about this woman is that she's been the one putting the moves on me, and she seems a quality person in every other aspect of the word. I personally would have a hard time wearing wedding rings on my left finger, but that's been dislocated so many times that the joint closest to my knuckle is unusually large. By the time I got a ring over the joint, it'd be so big that I could hula-hoop my ring on my finger. I don't have any type of objection to them. I know this may sound a bit cold, but, being an American in America, I'm used to looking at that finger to see if someone's married or not. Granted, I'm pretty ignorant on other culture's traditions of indicating marriage, and that's a really lame excuse, but I think that'd be an awesome forum post!
