There is a certain kind of woman, with a certain goal in mind, who prefers a man who is already taken. Perhaps that's the kind of woman he's interested in meeting. And yes I'm sure there is a male equivalent to that certain kind of woman.

What do you mean? He just stared at you in silence? Or did he say, "I can't say."

I can't quite picture this exchange. Can you provide more detail?

First, are you certain that's his brother? Could be a husband and that's his wedding ring to him.

Second, if that's not the case, there was an episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza purposely wore a wedding ring because he claimed women were more attracted to men who are taken. It displays a few things - that they can commit and that their, ahem, "member" works well enough. I guess I can believe that to some extent.

Although I haven't, I have contemplated wearing a wedding ring at work in the past. My reason was to appear married so I could be left alone. At previous workplaces, I was often expected to go out with someone and it became annoying. Since I've become a single dad, I have not had as much trouble with that.

I'm single and I have a ring my mother gave me before she passed and every once in a while I will wear it and it fits my "ring" finger. It could be misconstrued as an engagement ring. I'm single and really don't care what other people think about having a ring no matter which finger I wear it on. That's just an example of stereotyping. We just assume that if a ring is on that finger they are "taken" and that's why that particular finger was designated hundreds of years ago, but by today's standards and all that is acceptable, I pretty much rule out the "ring finger" thing.

I wear my wedding ring on my right ring finger (and am right handed) and it confuses the heck out of people. I got married in the Greek Orthodox Church, an explanation which confuses most people even more.

Honestly though, I can count on one hand the number of people who have ever noticed and said something.

I have known Masons that are single to wear a Masonic ring on their left ring finger. Why would you even care?
