Do you wear a wedding ring??

[Mackman]

Well for some reason my GF asked me if i would wears a wedding ring. I told her HELL NO. Well that was a . My dad doesn't wear one. There is only 1 guy at work who wears his. Alot of people i know don't wear a wedding ring. She was going crazy about it. Saying i would wear one. I just laughed. So anyway do you wear one or not.

Here is a good link about it.
The Wearing Of Mens Wedding Rings Today

Although the wearing of mens wedding rings is becoming increasing common today this is a relatively recent change and is still not entirely accepted by many men.
It has been traditional for woman to wear wedding rings almost since history began and there are records of an exchange of rings at wedding ceremonies way back to the times of ancient Egypt. Nevertheless, it was rare for a man to wear a wedding ring following the marriage ceremony until after the Second World War.
Many people have suggested that this was for purely economic reasons and that it is only the relative affluence that many societies now enjoy that has made this practice possible. There is undoubtedly some validity in this argument and it may indeed be a significant reason for men not previously wearing wedding rings, but it is certainly not the only reason.
Wearing a wedding ring mean stating publicly that you are married and, while this has rarely been seen as a problem for women, many men are less than happy to advertise the fact that they are married. This is undoubtedly changing today, but still remains a strong influence for many men, while others simply wear their ring when it suits them and remove it when it does not.
As an interesting aside, men in Greece and Italy are often given "puzzle" wedding rings by their brides. These rings consist of a series of interlocking metal rings that have to be arranged in a set order to form a single ring, which means that the ring cannot be quickly and easily removed or replaced.
For some men the wedding ring is seen as an item of jewelry and wearing a wedding ring is viewed in much the same way as they view wearing a pair of earrings. For many men wearing jewelry is simply something that men do not do and the wedding ring is no exception. Again this is something that is becoming less of a problem over time and, while the wearing of earrings may still be some way off for most men, it is often seen as acceptable for a man to wear a ring, bracelet or a neck chain these days.
In many cases, while a man may not have any particular problem with the idea of wearing a wedding ring, if he has not worn a ring before he may be concerned about whether or not he will feel comfortable with a ring and have questions about whether or not it will feel heavy or will rub. This of course is an easy matter to overcome and all he has to do is buy a cheap ring from his local jewelry store or market and wear if for a while to see.
Of course one genuine problem for many men is their occupation which may exclude them from wearing a ring because of the dangers posed by operating machinery or perhaps for reasons of hygiene. This is course is not something that it confined to the wearing of mens wedding rings and effects women equally.
As time goes by more and more men are adopting the habit of wearing a wedding ring and the signs are that this practice is likely to continue to grow.

I wear mine on a chain around my neck....would wear it on my finger if it hadn't shrunk so much in 36 years I've had it.

[Mr. Ford95]

I tried it but being part of a construction company and also working in the shop some, bad idea. Wife was fine with it as long as I wear it when we go out.

[Uturn2001]

I did when I first got married but after having 2 of them bent all to hell and having to cut off the 2nd one I stopped.

[BlooMoose]

I don't wear one. I wore one during my first marriage and that was it.

[Creek Jackson]

I don't wear one. Then again, I am not married either!

[69XKE]

I've worn one each of the three times I've been married.

First one got pawned. Second one also shrunk (Bob and I must've gotten the same ring!), and I had to have it cut off by the truck mechanic at our shop. I couldn't see the inscription, obviously, and when he snipped it and I looked on the inside, he had cut it exactly between our names.

Prophetic, I figured.

[Jumbo]

I wore one but I had a habit of banging it against everything. It looks pretty beat up.

[Flatbed]

When I was married I wore one any time I wasn't working.

An interesting thing I noticed... I was approached by more women and hit on when I was wearing it then when I wasn't.

Hahaha......my GF asked me if I would wear one. I told her hell no. Of course she pitched a ***** like a 2yr old child. I don't wear jewelry at all.....not even a wrist watch. I just cant stand having anything around my neck or on my hands.

I do and have for both marriages considering the first one was like being married to SATAN himself. The devil is not a MAN bout a PO woman that will throw a fit if you are NOT wearing your wedding band when you are married to her.

Damn straight!

[possum]

I always did during both marriages.

[mike3fan]

I wouldn't have wanted my wife running around not wearing her's, so I wore mine when I was married.

[pigrider]

I wear mind all the time except when I go to bed at night!

[repete]

I"ve worn mine for about 25 years now, been married for ah hmm oh yeah 33 years. We couldn't afford a ring for me way back then, her engagement ring came from the PX and the wedding ring from a pawn shop what do ya expect?? I only made about $400 a month LOL

I don't know why but this is a true phenomenon...even my husband, who always complained that he never got hit on, said he did a lot when wearing his ring (he wears his...I still don't - since we've been separated for so long). It seems that if a man is taken, women believe that he must be one of "the good ones that got away" so they want him. Women usually want what they cant have...

Maybe all the single guys out there should invest in a ring - apparently, it is a pretty good "pick-up" line.

so if you won't wears yours, then you are okay with her not wearing hers. as someone here pointed out.
