Part of the problem with people not wearing rings is that others may know they're married but assume they are not that serious about staying faithful. There are definitely occupations where wearing a ring doesn't make sense, however (safety issues, etc).

I've known a lot of men (and women) who hate wearing rings (as well as other types of jewelry, like watches or bracelets).
My dad almost never wore his wedding ring, and I can assure you, the thought of cheating would have never crossed his mind. Other men I know work in a field where it's a safety hazard - medicine, contraction, etc.
My aunt's ring size fluctuates so much over the course of a month (water retention) that she can only wear her engagement/wedding rings part of the time. Never crossed her mind to cheat, either.
And most of the women I know are familiar enough with the fact that some people simply don't wear their wedding rings that they do not assume the absence of a wedding ring means "I'm available!".
Irritates their hand?
Want to look "available"?
Keeps it in safe place like a safe deposit box?
I wear mine. I can't think of a reason not to wear it. Why do so many married not wear their rings?
We had a friend who lost his finger when his ring caught when he was jumping off the back of a truck. My husband worked in the electrical field of computers. I would rather have a live husband who does not wear a ring than a dead one who accidently got it too close to electricity.
My diamond rings are in the safety deposit box now too. Maybe the world will be safe enough some day to wear rings again; but not now.

While that is true, it certainly helps cut down on some of the offers. As a single woman, If I see a guy that's attractive to me, I always check out the ring finger. It would help if he were wearing one if he was taken.
My dad never wore his ring. He just isn't a ring/jewelry person. When my husband had his previous job, I didn't want him to wear it for safety reasons. He did anyway.
After 41 years of marriage to the same woman, it's laughable to think either of us will ever be "on the prowl."
My wife says, if she died early, women would be all over me for my retirement and security. Her ability to make me laugh is one of the reasons I have loved here for so many years. However, in case she knows something about women that I don't, if she did die early I would suffer the allergic skin rashes, or fingers ripped off in machinery, and put a ring on every finger.

I wish I knew. Women should make sure their men wear their rings. I'm tired of married men pretending to be available, only to turn out to have a wife at home.
I was single in my early forties, after a divorce, and according to my sons, "had more game" than they did - men were plentiful.
I never noticed one way or another whether or not they had a ring on. I relied instead on other methods to determine the strength of their character and whether or not we shared common values.
you women who have husbands that dont wear their rings are kidding yourselves. the ring is removed to appear available. they are hoping someone will be interested.
I'm sorry, but this is just plain dumb. I assume you aren't aware that it was only in the twentieth century that male wedding rings came into being? More specifically, they did not become traditional until the 1940s.
