Ok, I admit it...I find myself checking out fingers when I meet a woman. You know, THE finger...the ring finger on their left hand, and you know what? Women that aren't married, engaged, or even have a boyfriend wear rings on that finger!
I was at a conference, work purposes, and my sales rep decided to play the role of wing woman. We were talking to someone and she asked her if she had any single friends and the lady piped up and said, "I'm single!"
She had a beautiful diamond/ruby band type ring on THE finger. How's a guy supposed to know that doesn't mean anything but good taste in jewelry! I'm totally not chatting up EVERY cute chick hoping that there isn't a jealous husband/boyfriend/ect. around the corner dying to punch my lights out!
Ok...maybe if she's REALLY cute I'll chat her up. ;)

Posted by: Bob on October 18, 2006 10:42 AMfor a long time I thought my married russian friends were very weird cause they didnt wear rings... but it turns out they do, just on the right hand ring finger... it's more traditional or something.
So something else to worry about!
Posted by: Amanda Mae on October 18, 2006 04:40 PMyou also gotta watch out for the womens who are married but don't wear their rings...like me.
:)
Amanda Mae - I don't even think about looking at the other hand! Great! ;)
Heidi - That's like totally not even fair! :)
Posted by: Bob on October 18, 2006 07:51 PMPoor Bob... like Heidi, I'm married but rarely wear my ring, because most of the time I don't like stuff rattling around on my fingers.
That's my official excuse. Actually, I need the attention. I know - SO bad. Poor Bob.

Posted by: Bob on October 19, 2006 10:02 AMYa know...I wore a ring on that finger for a long time without being married. It was sort of a "freak shield"....gave me enough breathing room when a really odd man started to chat.
I never really thought about the fact that I might have missed out on a really great guy because of it *sigh*....luckily I have a great guy now and dont have to worry either way!

Posted by: Bob on October 23, 2006 10:48 AMIt would....you should try it sometime. I have no doubt you will get a laugh from the girls who are using for that purpose!
Posted by: ibeejd on October 23, 2006 01:41 PMibeejd - I'll be sure to post an update surrounding any efforts in that direction. ;)

I never look at people's ring fingers. I think it's because I never wear jewelry so I forget to notice. Hullo there, Bob. :)
