Have worn one for the past 39 years everyday. I am on my third one, same wife. I never take it off, just too lazy, and it keeps the "gold diggers" away. Hey its tough being so "damn handsome"!!! OK maybe it is I'm too lazy to take it off!

I had to have hand surgery and they said it would be cut off if I couldn’t get it off. Took a while since my knuckles have grown from a lifetime of abuse. I got it off and never put it back on.

Working in manufacturing, for safety reasons we aren't supposed to wear rings. I keep my wedding band on my key ring.

I wear one mainly because it is a chick magnet.

That’s actually true.. I never got hit on unless I had my ring on…. And don’t think your wife ain’t getting hit on if she’s wearing a ring..

lost my original gold ring, then lost my 7$ amazon chinesium stainless ring, Decided to cast my own ring for fun as a little project with the kiddos.

Ive had that ring for around 5 years now hopefully it sticks around.

Why multiple? Wanted an upgrade or something different or some other reason?

Stopped in 2005 in Iraq when my hands would swell from the heat and I could barely get the ring off.

Now it's almost a mental thing. I just don't like the feel and don't ever want to have the feeling of a ring being stuck on my finger without being able to get if off without intervention from the Fire Department.

I do unless working on electrical or some mechanical work. Wife can't wear hers because she is now allergic to gold and nickel. Told her get a titanium one form the Blackbird.

Me too. Haven't worn it since our wedding day. My first boss was missing his little finger, I asked him how he lost it. He said water skiing. His pinky ring got stuck in the triangle of the rope and handle. It stripped the meat off the finger and the doc clipped the bone off. I've never worn a ring after hearing that

I wore one the whole time I was married, and got my knuckle broken on that finger getting slashed in hockey. When I got divorced getting it off was a major chore.

If I was married now I'd wear one of those soft flexible ones that seem to be popular.

Ok, that made me cringe.

This was my only reason for a ring for many years, then I got a keychain opener. No need for a wedding ring anymore.
