Ring or No Ring?

[InsatiableDsire]

Men, if you see a woman in a bar with friends, is a wedding ring going to attract you or keep you away? I'm sure there will be answers all over the map. Please indicate if you are attached or single in your reply. Important personal research project.

I don't ever notice

If she said she was married I'd pleasantly leave

However if she was happy to entertain me I wouldn't care because its her life and her choice, I'm not the person doing wrong

First thing I always look for.

Since I'm not single, I probably have more in common with the woman with the ring on, so I might tend to head that way.

It's the second thing I notice after the eyes. I wish I would look for the ring first though because once I see the eyes if there is a ring I just say AH DAMN! But a beautiful set of eyes can be enjoyed whether they are married or not.

So, you ladies that wear your Grandmother's wedding band may want to move it to the right hand. I won't even approach a married woman, can't trust their husbands, LOL

Honestly it isn't something I generally notice right away or look for but its mere presence wouldn't necessary dissuade me from approaching her. BTW I am single.

Thanks for the honest replies. Any more?

Interesting idea for a thread. I like your research! Lol

I don't wear a ring but not because I want to appear "available vs. unavailable." I don't think it means anything one way or another (as some of the comments here prove). Some girls like jewelry on our fingers; some of us don't.

It's how she looks back!

Thanks for the honest replies. Any more?

ID... Being married, I feel safer looking at gals with a ring, because if she gives me the look back, it says she is interested, and if we both are with rings, could indicate interested in only sex and nothing more.

Or at least that you are in the same boat, with the same expectations...

Which then has many possibilities...

As my daddy always said. "A ring never plugs any holes.". So doesn't really matter to most.

 

[smotherman]

That's the first thing I notice, wedding ring will definitely keep me away

 

[Ask For More]

I feel naive here - a wedding ring would stop me from approaching as I would assume she is not interested in being hit on. Even if she was, there's a second assumption that nothing would result from it. Personally, I don't want to be a homewrecker.

And I am single.

doesn't really matter..

 

[NudeNJguy]

understanding

It may not be the first thing i would notice, but it would not stop me from approaching her. I am always honest and if i tell her that i am married too and she still seems interested, than there is an understanding between us......

I actually had this conversation with a buddy of mine. I'm single. He was in an "off" phase with his girlfriend at the time.

I mentioned that I tend to look for a ring right away, because I'm not looking for a hook up. I'm looking for someone who I could potentially date.

His reply was that he doesn't care if she's got a ring on or not, because some divorced women wear the rings to dissuade men hitting on them and some married women aren't real faithful. Therefore, he figures the ring didn't mean anything at all to him.
