I don't think it matters at all if you're married and don't wear a ring as well as vice versa. It's your own business. However, I think you're right that some people are curious and look straight to the ring finger to see if she or he is 'taken.' I must admit that I do it.Does it matter if you're married and don't wear your ring? What about people that aren't married and DO wear wedding rings? Is that a thing too? Is it a bit nosey?

I only wear my ring when I go out. It's not my original as that one is 22ct gold broad and weighs nearly a Troy ounce.Does it matter if you're married and don't wear your ring? What about people that aren't married and DO wear wedding rings? Is that a thing too? Is it a bit nosey?

I confess to wearing a wedding ring when I’m travelling abroad on my own. Oddly it gives me a feeling of security ! At 67 I thought I’d be past the age of being ‘hit on’ by men who can’t bear to think a woman could manage to negotiate an airport terminal or hotel bar without their help. But no, I am. Only difference is the age and attractiveness of the men and the amount of hair on their heads versus that sticking out from their nose and ears.I don't think it matters at all if you're married and don't wear a ring as well as vice versa.

I was a bit of a precocious kid. I read "Woman's Own'.
22ct gold is soft so it marks easily, but it's a beautiful colour. Your ring must be quite something.I only wear my ring when I go out. It's not my original as that one is 22ct gold broad and weighs nearly a Troy ounce.

It’s no exaggeration to say that women with their husbands in restaurants look straight to my ring finger when they realise I’m eating alone. They probably think their man is such a stud that I will tuck him under my arm and run off with him, never to be seen again.
What is gratifying is when nice young men are very polite and smile-y at the luggage carousel. Very useful when my heavy suitcase comes round. I always thank their partner for ‘lending me your man’. I’m sure they help because I remind them of their mums, but hey ho, I’ll take what I can get.
Never mind the 'thought police' Brissles.I recognise and empathise with that EM !!! Sadly there are no ageing Cary Grant's out there. (I won't say what most look like, or I'll be accused again by the thought police on here).
Oh it is I used to take it regularly to have the scratches polished out .22ct gold is soft so it marks easily, but it's a beautiful colour. Your ring must be quite something.
Brissles just wanted to say that I haven’t posted on ST.com for years and because of you and a few other posters I’ve not stopped all week. Keeping chatting as your chat conjures up so many good emotionsNever mind the 'thought police' Brissles.

I had to come back and say I was channel surfing last night and Anne D was presenting on the Style Channel and she looked stunning - hair,makeup and outfit fabulous - I may have originally caught her on a bad dayTalking about people not wearing rings on there left hand and believed to be married I noticed Anne Dawson not wearing rings - have I missed something? She was looking fabulous last year but today I was shocked at her obviously dyed red hair which I thought didn’t suit her especially as her hairline was going sparse and her outfit looked dreadful. I wished I could be more positive but sadly can’t I’ve said it as I saw it
I used to say what I thought over the years and hubby used to say "I don't know why you just don't say what you mean instead of sitting on the fence".Never mind the 'thought police' Brissles.
