I ask seriously. I'm not the best judge of character and astuteness is not one of my strengths.
Shucks. You can tell all kinds of things, such as if her money is new or old--or if she has much at all, what her personality is, if she's confident about herself as a person, if she's trying to hard to not look her age, if she's working too hard to get attention...the list just goes on and on.
Don't take my word for it. Next time you're with a bunch of women and a totally new woman enters the room, watch what they do. They scan the new woman from head to toe in about two seconds and categorize her instantly. Some are a little more harsh than others, but it happens.

Oh I know quite well women judge other women harshly, usually far more than we men do.
I see, I see, thanks. I only wish I were more astute. Hasn't helped me that I'm not "sharp" in this sense.
Interesting question. I have a ring that I bought a few years ago, in NYC. It's very special to me as I don't really own much good jewelry, and I don't like showy stuff. This ring has diamonds, but it's a band with inlaid baguettes...really very striking and different, but understated. When I bought it, they sized it to fit my left ring finger, but it also fit my right. I would wear it on either one. Today, about 3 years later, it no longer fits on my right finger without some some effort - it's not my weight, it's my knuckle. So when I wear it, it's on my left hand. I went out of town on a conference a couple of years ago and a couple of guys at work were saying - "don't wear that ring - you'll never pick up anyone!" And later I asked a guy friend of mine about the ring, if it would keep him away, and he said absolutely. Wouldn't touch me with a 10 foot pole. So...I still wear the ring. But I suppose I should give some thought to having it resized next time I'm up in the big Apple. Thanks for the insight.
I notice but a lot of guy don't even notice when their own wife gets her hair done! LOL...so you can't generalize. some do, some don't. some care, some won't.
Well, if there is no other rational explanation, if the lost ring phenomenon is clearly related to you, I'd say that's a signal of some sort. Probably mating call, my first guess. I think "gee, what's happening to your wedding ring" is question benign enough to ask casually but that would show your interest and awareness of the signal which may clear things up or stir things up, for better or for worse.
It's not my gig -- just a phenomenon I've noticed around friends. That's why I wondered if people use the wedding band as some sort of signal to each other. I'm not married, not part of the "club," so to speak. I do think it's fascinating and rather funny, though.
Why are you asking - are you thinking of "losing" the band (temporarily) to see what extra attention it might bring? LOL.
I don't need anymore attention.
Besides, I LOVE my rings. I won't leave the house without them.
