I had no idea men only started wearing wedding rings in the 1950’s !
wow !
Put that one up there with the shock of finding out that the whole idea of retirement was created during the early 1900’s
I guess it’s natural to assume things as they are now have just always been that way.

I don’t care if they claim they’re straight, it’s advertizing they’re girly men.

Brendan Yukins...is in the middle of a long engagement to 22-year-old Kenneth Camacho, who works for Asian Human Services providing education and outreach and testing for HIV and AIDS. The two dated for three months before the proposal, and wanted to publicly display their commitment.....When my son or daughter turns 18, I want to pass this down to them, he says... I can say, This is what we had when we were 20 and fabulous.

He assumes that they’ll stay together, which is very unrealistic. He also assumes someone will sell him a child, and he’s almost certainly correct.

Traditionally, if the ring is on the right hand with the heart facing outward and away from the body, this indicates that the person wearing the ring is not in any serious relationship, and may in fact be single and looking for a relationship: “their heart is open.”
When worn on the right hand but with the heart facing inward toward the body, this indicates the person wearing the ring is in a relationship, or that “someone has captured their heart”.
A Claddagh worn on the left hand ring finger facing outward away from the body generally indicates that the wearer is engaged.
When the ring is on the left hand ring finger and facing inward toward the body, it generally means that the person wearing the ring is married.”

I’m left-handed which saved me in this case.

Depends on which way it is worn too, right?

I tend toward much the same.
No prob with the idea of the guy wearing a symbol of commitment just like the gal.
But, I do think that, maybe, a Prince Albert would be more fitting, since that’s attached to the part that’s sealed in the deal.

This woman just loathes any jewelry on a man except a wedding ring. It looks swishy, IMO.
