thank you for the informative post - I did not know that about puzzle rings but it makes complete sense and more then a little interesting.
Also I am so sorry about your loss and believe that the intent on the rings as you put it is simply beautiful and will be a valued family treasure. | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 6:54:33 PM | Well OP, are you more confused or less confused now ?
Looks like the answer is that there is no answer, it depends on the individual.
I personally wear no rings at all, for hygeine purposes at work , and wear one ring I really like only a couple of times a year ( yes it was my engagement , wedding and eternity ring melted down and redesigned into a dress ring i love - and will be handed down to my daughter one day )
You would need to ask the women you fancy what their status is to really know for sure. | |

I once had a guy I was interested in ask me why I was wearing a ring on the left hand.. and when I told him, it sounded pretty lame to my own ears so I took it off and have kept it naked ever since... just ask if you aren't sure :)
I often wear a wedding-style ring on my left hand when I go out. It's a ring I bought at a magic shop and I use it for a couple of pretty cool magic tricks. Magic is actually a pretty cool way to meet new people. | |

Rings on a Woman's Hands, What to make of them?
I only wear one ring, and that's on my middle finger of my right hand...it was my Dad's ring, and wearing it reminds me of him...
that is the biggest load of crap I have read on these boards in a long time.
Not me...I just read one of his posts on another thread not that long ago... | |

I know this is "ask a girl", but personally, if there's a ring on a girl's left ring finger, I assume she's involved.
Hopefully you'll change your mind a little after reading this thread.
I recently met a girlfriend for happy hour. I was wearing a sparkly ring on my left ring finger. It's a cheapie that I love and only fits that finger. When my friend spotted it, she alarmingly proclaimed that I should never wear a ring that looks like an engagement ring on that finger, seeing as how I'm single and looking. I told her I'm sorry but I beg to differ! I like the cheapie ring and I'm gonna wear it. I just don't see the logic in preserving that finger until I get married. I'm 41 and never have been so it just seems silly. I'd say depending on the person's age and the type of ring, it may or may not be an indication of being taken. | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 5:15:08 AM | Most days i'm wearing 5 rings. 2 on one hand and three on the other (1 is a thumb ring). There is no specific reason or meaning behind them... I just love jewelery. Only one is expensive (my parents gave it to me), the others are just cheap rings.
I don't wear a ring on my wedding finger because I specifically save that finger for a guy to put a ring on it someday... whether it be for marriage or just commitment.
I understand totally some girlies wearing rings on their marriage fingers to warn off other guys... I have a few friends who would do that aswell because when you're out for a girls night, majority of us don't care to have guys trying to pick us up. Myself, if i'm dating someone... I have no problems with making it clear to a guy who's attention i've caught that I have a man. (without making him feel like a fool, he had no way of knowing)
If a guy isn't sure... just ask the woman. Your best bet though is if she has a ring on her marriage finger, just walk away. She doesn't want to be hit on OR she is commited to someone... either way, it's a waste of your time. If girlies choose to wear rings on that finger and still want to be hit on, they are taking a big chance of warning guys off with that simple little ring. | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 6:16:54 AM | I certainly take notice if someone is wearing a ring on the 'ring' finger!
I wear rings, change them to suit what I feel like at the time, I even wear antique diamond rings BUT I never wear a ring on my 'ring' finger .... that is reserved.
I would ask questions if they are wearing a ring there. Though many who are married don't wear rings at all, if I dare say mainly guys don't wear their rings for some reason or other, maybe due to the work they do wont allow them to wear rings? | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 6:29:19 AM | | I wear a thick silver band on my ring finger with butterflies carved into it.. and FREE is engraved on the inside of the band. It really doesnt look like a wedding band.. but if asked I just explain that I really really love it, it was a gift and it is sort of a reminder that I am a free spirit and to stay free in a sense as I grow and love... etc.. I HAVE used it as a get out of jail free card.. on rare occasion that I'm being bugged by an unwelcome male.. but most guys who have every seen an engagement ring or wedding ring wouldnt be fooled | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 1:09:27 PM | Having been married before, it actually feels physically weird for me to don a ring simply because it fits onto that very important finger...
I have a lot great jewelry, but I NEVER put anything on that finger.
--It is reserved! | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 6:19:03 PM | I found you can get any thread to remain by starting with
"I did a thread search" lol
Actually I searched for rings and then ring! Only the one I mentioned!
That's why I was so surprised!
Thanks | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 7:18:04 PM | hm...I didn't realize we were supposed to pay attention to their hands!
Only when they are doing certain things with them.
Like slapping someone across the face would be a prime example.
Or.......nevermind. I won't get into that one.  | |

Posted: 7/23/2008 2:29:11 PM | | Browser, I still have questions. If a woman is single, unattached. divorced, not going with anyone, not dating anyone, has no significant other, is 100% available, and she puts some ring on her left hand ring finger that looks like some sort of wedding ring, like a 2 carrot rock, gold wedding band, at the minimum some promise ring, something beyond a piece of crap, something that definitely should imply a prior commitment, 'just to ward off the creeps', how does a guy know if that's all she's doing by wearing it? Is it not a blatant gesture of interest to ask, "Are you married, engaged, or promised?". By asking that question does it not provide the opportunity for her to retort with some snarling hostile answer? 'Is it not a personal question to ask a stranger? If the guy hits on her anyway does that not indicate his position on cheating...the word fidelity is not in his dictionary? | |

Posted: 7/23/2008 3:00:07 PM | I'd say, just stay away! Obviously if she has any smarts at all,
and most women are extremely aware of such things, that she
knows what such jewelry implies and is quite satisfied with that!
Now, if you know the woman, to some degree, you could casually ask! | |

Posted: 7/23/2008 4:52:48 PM | Women aren't idiots. They know perfectly well what wearing a ring on their left ring fingers communicates to most men. This puts them in one of a few camps:
1. The ones who are control freaks. They don't want men approaching them, they want to approach the men. Nothing wrong with a woman approaching a man, but if she's using a ring on her wedding finger to keep guys away, and she's actually single, then she's functionally lying. This means she's out the door and to the curb.
2. The ones who are game players. They like seeing men try to figure out if they're married, because it ultimately means they get attention without having to feel obligated to return or acknowledge it. In the end, however, they are, as well, liars if they're wearing a ring on that finger and they're single. Once again: out the door, to the curb.
3. The ones who are actually married. Easy enough: stay away from them. They aren't available, and if they're acting like they are, RUN away. Even if you got involved, if she'll cheat on him, she'll cheat on you. Door, curb.
4. The ones who are bald-faced lying, and are fine with it. This includes the ones who wear a ring there while they're dancing so they can keep men away. You don't want to be hit on by men? Don't go to a place where the environment is designed for it (clubs, bars, etc.). No, not even just for a "girls' night out". There are other things you can do, and if you and the girls really love dancing and having a few drinks, then clear some space on the floor at home, set up some speakers, dance to your hearts' content, and have someone get some mixes off the 'net for your drinks. Buy the ingredients, knock yourselves out.
I acknowledge that there are ladies who don't attach much significance to that finger, or wear a ring there just because they want a ring on every finger, or sometimes they just wear a ring there because that's the finger they want to wear a ring on. No matter how you slice it, however, wearing a ring on that finger communicates something, even if you don't want or intend to communicate it. Is it really all that hard to not wear a ring on that one finger?
I don't think so. Ladies, don't delude yourselves. | |

Posted: 7/23/2008 5:00:24 PM | I met a lady this week, quite unexpectedly, with no rings at all!
Thought I had hit pay dirt!
As friendly as she was, my best guess, it that she isn't the slightest bit interested!
Man, I hate this whole friggin ring thing! | |
