Heck, in my experience even when I was married and did wear wedding ring, occasionally would still get hit up. Rings dont mean anything to some....and dont make very good deterrences. I dont wear rings and even if I were married now, still wouldnt wear one, in my line of work. If someone really wants to hit on you, theyre gonna do it regardless.

Ring don't block the hole, huh? What's good for the goose is good for the gander too. Ring would imply marriage and it's good that some still honor it. Some don't perhaps, and I think they pay for it. Otherwise, why not just live together and not have the ring?

I know a lot of women these days who don't need a provider persay. They stand on their own two feet financially and enjoy their career... AND do women stuff as well... (things other than providing).

But yeah, men sure do notice that. One way or another. There's all kinds of people out there. But hey, could be worse. When it comes to law, you can't prosecute morality. Not here in the States anyway. Thank God for that. Saudi Arabia comes to mind.

There again, the goose/gander comment.

I feel a joke comin' on... Dude goes to his buddy and says, "So, If I do your lady, would that make us related?" Dude's buddy says, "No. It'd make us even."

Not everybody is like that Livewire. If I see somebody with a ring, and I don't care how friendly she is, I'll keep my distance. I look at it this way, if I were married, how would I feel if somebody made advances on my wife?

Yes. I usually err on the side of caution. If the ring doesn't look like a wedding/engagement ring but she still has something on that finger, I exclude her.

Was introduced to a new group of people recently. I very subtly and quickly scanned every one of the women's hands. None had a ring. One woman was attractive and seemed to have a very bubbly personality. Instant attraction! Then some dude walks in and she says, "and there's my husband! About time you got here honey."

I went from to in mach 3.0.

And what can you tell?

I ask seriously. I'm not the best judge of character and astuteness is not one of my strengths.

Good point, and generally people should back off. But not everyone will, some dont care if the person is married, or how their spouse would feel.......this doesnt apply to only women. Thats just the way some people are.
Theres really nothing wrong with looking, or admiring a person, married or not. Its when it goes beyond that.

I tried to get a cute lady's phone number once. I visited her where she worked. So I asked her, "do you have a bf?"

She said, "I have a husband." But she had never worn a ring.

I was embarrassed, apologized, and left. At least she was nice about it.

Lol...well now you know, not all wear rings either, so it can end up throwing someone off!

Yep.

Another woman I asked out, also very attractive, and also at her place of work... she did have a ring but it was not on that finger and it was clear to me she wasn't married. Well so I thought. So I ask her out and learn that she was not married, but had a boyfriend.

Ring or no ring, sometimes you don't know. But as I said, when the ring is there and the rock is shining bright, I turn more than just my gaze away.
