I work in an office where about 80% of the married men do not wear their wedding rings. There is nothing even remotely dangerous about our work, it is in an office building. So there's no excuse that it could get caught on heavy machinery, etc.

So, why don't men wear their wedding rings? They can't ALL be on the prowl, can they?

Maybe they don't even have them to begin with. Not all men do.

Unless they're actually making a pass at you, I would not assume they were on the prowl simply for lack of a ring.

I think alot of married men don't have rings.

I myself am not married, but close to getting engaged. The idea of a ring on my finger annoys me. I will probably wear my ring for my future wife, but it will irk me.

Why? Because i don't wear jewelry. I've always hated jewelry. Its a possibility that i will get used to it and not notice it there, but that's just me. Just because someone refuses to wear a ring, doesn't mean they're on the prowl.

I have the same reaction as Defearon ... I've never worn any jewelry - even a watch.

Not unless they're putting it back on right before they get home.

I for one do not wear jewelry, I tried wearing a watch, I end up playing with it and breaking it, went threw a few. Same with my wedding ring, spin them or play with it and end up losing it, went threw a couple rings also in my marriage. I think I have out grown that now, I was engaged and she proposed to me, gave me a ring, I never took it off till we ended the engagement. I will be proud of my wedding ring and will never take it off again, once I get another one that is. We all live and learn and grow up from boys to men, in my case. I still won't wear a watch though, guess I still got some growing up to do, lol, got my cell phone for time anyway. I never took my ring off to attract anyone but I am sure people do. Oh yes, after all it does leave a mark, so who you kidding anyway for those that do.

For years the only thing I would wear would be a watch, then a ring, and for about 10 years now, a necklace with a cross, and a couple years now with a medic alert on it too.

When I was married, a lot of women would not talk to me because I was married (and I have always been able to talk with a lady easier than I could a guy).

Just because a guy is not wearing a ring does not mean he is on the prowl, like already said, he may not have one, he could have an allergy to gold or silver, or he may find it uncomfortable to wear a ring.

A ring does not make a person act married, nor does the lack of a ring make a person on the prowl.

I think you may be reading more into this that what is there.

Men like the pretense - whether they act on it or not - they still all live in hope :-)
