Are left hand ring finger rings a for sure sign of being in a relationship?
she’s only really interested in talking to blokes who don’t make those sorts of tradition-based assumptions Of course the funny thing there is that those blokes will be about 1/10th of who approaches her. The majority will actually be scummy ones who are just as happy to get into her pants even if she is in a relationship… atlman, to answer your actual question I would say yes, there are reasons women would wear a ring on that finger other than engagement/marriage. That said, odds are that better than 90% of the women you see with a ring on that finger know exactly the message they are sending, even if it’s not accurate. When I was unattached I simply steered clear of anyone with a ring on that finger. There’s no shortage of humans on the earth and rejection is unpleasant enough without courting it by bucking the odds.
TPS, naxosaxur, and others: Y’all kinda seem to be answering, and responding to, a different question than was asked by the poster. If a woman had asked whether wearing a ring on her left ring finger might give off the signal she was married, then yes, I’d agree that it does. But here we have a guy asking if every single woman who wears a ring on her left ring finger is married/engaged/attached, and for that question, the answer is obviously no.
Another vote for promise rings, I know a few girls who wear them, I even know one or two guys who were them on their left hand ring finger, (myself being one of them). I can think of one or two though that aren’t really interested in having guys make a pass at them so I guess it serves both purposes.
While this thread is just anecdotal evidence, lots of women here are telling you that they were not aware of what their particular ring connoted – just read all the surprised, “oh, good to know!” responses. – Amizu Keep in mind that there’s a definite sampling bias on MeFi. The average here tends to be younger and less traditional family values than the average in Meatspace USA (yes, this is a generalization as well. I’m only talking about tendancies) I think you’ve got a decent sampling in this thread, but don’t assume that the percentages here are reflective of those offline.
