Author	Topic: Single women (or previously single women) how observant are you?
AcousticGod Knowflake Posts: 11943 From: Pleasanton, CA, USA Registered: May 2005	posted September 28, 2005 06:09 PM I just recently started wearing a stainless steel ring that resembles a wedding band on my right hand (the non-married hand). If you were checking me out would you think that I'm married, or are you very aware of which hand the wedding band goes on? IP: Logged

proxieme unregistered	posted September 28, 2005 06:42 PM I was completely unobservant of that sort of thing until I was 21 - that's when I asked a married man at my college if he'd like to go on a date (he was flattered, but declined). I had no earthly idea that he wasn't single, though his ring was clear as day on his finger. In fairness to me, he'd been very flirty. Dern Scorpio. ~~~ That being said, most women'll probably know instantly that that's not your wedding band - though they may ask if it's a promise or "engagement" ring. IP: Logged

I wouldn't assume it, but I would wonder and maybe question you later if I had the chance. ~Pidaua IP: Logged
AcousticGod Knowflake Posts: 11943 From: Pleasanton, CA, USA Registered: May 2005	posted September 28, 2005 06:59 PM Oh interesting. A female Taurus friend in her 40's thought it might indicate a gay relationship, which I'd never heard of them using the opposite finger. IP: Logged
pidaua Knowflake Posts: 7314 From: Schweinfurt to Grafenwoehr all within 6 months LOL Registered: May 2002	posted September 28, 2005 07:22 PM LOL...they almost always use the opposite finger (until Marriage is legalize or civil unions are legalized) we have several partnered couples here and they all wear rings on that finger. In Laguna, where i grew up, men / women that were joined did the same thing BUT.. .that doesn't mean it is a sign of being partnered up. I wouldn't worry about it. But yes, women always notice rings. As a single woman and before I met Mr. Psycho, I would steer clear of anyone with a ring on that got too flirty. Nice chit chat is one thing, but anything more than that would send me running.

kiwigirl Knowflake Posts: 257 From: New Zealand Registered: May 2005	posted September 28, 2005 07:28 PM In some european countries that is the finger they wear their wedding band on. I always check to make sure, and quite often a married man gives off a vibe even if he isnt wearing a ring. Havent heard the gay one though AG? Not sure about that. I know lots of guys who wear rings on their right hand and i think nothing of it. hugs kiwi x IP: Logged
LoonyFish Knowflake Posts: 241 From: magical, mystical mountains of TN Registered: Apr 2003	posted September 28, 2005 07:30 PM Greetings, AG! Just an interesting FYI... When my partner & I first met, he was afraid to approach me because I wore a band similar to yours on my right hand. He is German & in Germany the right ring finger IS the married hand! A mutual friend explained to him that Americans use the left hand & we've been together for 5 years! Sooo, now, I notice BOTH hands & wonder... ------------------ "If immortality be untrue, it matters little whether anything else be true or not." - Buckle IP: Logged

pidaua Knowflake Posts: 7314 From: Schweinfurt to Grafenwoehr all within 6 months LOL Registered: May 2002	posted September 28, 2005 08:05 PM Yep...I would say that 1) An American with a Ring on the left hand is FOR SURE married (or a widow / widower) 2) If the ring is on the Right hand - determine if that person is from another country (yes, we American's are aware of that one and not to sound rude, but the gay person wearing a ring on the right hand is STANDARD American and does not apply to foreign homosexuals or their civil unions) I sometimes forget about our foreign friends and answered from only an American perspective since AG is living here in the US. 3) If the person is NOT a foreigner, then find out if he is or isn't partnered up.

TINK Knowflake Posts: 3831 From: New England Registered: Mar 2003	posted September 28, 2005 09:24 PM totally oblivious Before I got married I had to verify with my sister that I was, in fact, supposed to put the ring on my left hand. I never got around to getting an engagement ring. I sort of forgot. These cultural things are so silly. Who can keep up? IP: Logged

1scorp Knowflake Posts: 2251 From: Registered: Feb 2003	posted September 29, 2005 09:49 AM I always notice rings. It's one of the first things I see on a person. May have to do with some married men not really caring if they're married or not. (eeesssh) The right hand? I wouldn't really think much of it. I may ask about it. Could be a good conversation starter ___________________________________________ Scorpio sun, venus, mars, mercury and uranus Libra moon, pluto and asc. IP: Logged
pixelpixie Knowflake Posts: 5301 From: Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 2005	posted September 29, 2005 09:55 AM Some would say being married is not a deterrent. My friend was actually going to wear a ring, on the left hand, just cuz he wanted some action. I don't know why, and I won't discuss the moral fortitude. Honestly, before my twenties I didn't know or care.. now I know, but I generally don't notice marriage bands. I notice rings, cuz I like 'em .... but not their relevent significance. If someone seems interested in you, and asks..(actually it's a good conversation piece, ain't it?) just tell her no, you liked the ring. (maybe it will show her you are one of those men who WILL wear their wedding ring. That's another thing.. a lot of men don't.. so we are left to speculate on his status. I like stainless steel rings. Plus.. you know, it won't stain. IP: Logged
thirteen Knowflake Posts: 1107 From: Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: May 2004	posted September 29, 2005 10:37 AM If i met a guy with a ring on the right hand I would just think its jewelry. I would immediately figure out if it was right or left hand so I would know. IP: Logged
Bluemoon Knowflake Posts: 4456 From: Stafford, VA USA Registered: Feb 2005	posted September 29, 2005 12:09 PM I would notice the ring, but I never assume anything. I have sliver rings on right and left. I am not married, but I have kissed girls.................. IP: Logged

Svetlana Knowflake Posts: 254 From: USA Registered: Jul 2005	posted September 29, 2005 02:09 PM I got married in Russia and we wear wedding bands on right hand. Even though I'm now in US I won't change since in Russia only widows wear them on left finger. ------------------ We are the ones we've been waiting for. IP: Logged
ariestiger Knowflake Posts: 1136 From: UK Registered: Jan 2004	posted September 29, 2005 02:49 PM Well, I'm married (informally separated from my husband now), and I don't wear my wedding ring any longer SO - I guess that makes me up for grabs?! Mind you, my Aries father was (still is)married to my mother for 40 years and NEVER wore a wedding ring...guess we Rams find it a little uncomfortable... IP: Logged
