8/8 How common is it for (white) married women in their mid 30s
in SF to not wear a ring, engagement or wedding band?
Common? Rare? Really rare?
\_ I guess you've locked on a target.
\_ I guess you've located a target.
\_ Why are you asking? Are you trying to guess from the lack
of ring, or did you guess, move, and get turned down because
she said she was engaged/married?
\_ I know for a fact she is married (because she mentioned him).
I am curious whether there are a lot of people here who don't
believe in the wedding band thing and never wore one, or whether
she stopped wearing one for some reason I know more women are
anti-diamond now, but I thought among Caucasian couples, the
band of gold was pretty standard even among non-trad lefties.
\_ Pretty rare, in my experience. For some reason, Asian married
women are much less likely to wear a wedding band. Why is that?
\_ They might attach less importance to the tradition. My mom
doesn't wear a ring because she's afraid of someone mugging
her or something. She hasn't really been mugged since riding MUNI
in the 80s, but old habits die hard I guess.
\_ My (asian) wife doesn't put as much importance on the tradition,
and also it bugs her. Sometime it gets kinda itchy I guess.
She seems to wear it about half the time.
\_ My parents are one of the most sickiningly happy married couples
I know and they never wore wedding rings, and for some reason the
whole idea of a ring seems strange to me.
\_ That's because they never told you that they're SWINGERS
\_ The only married swingers I know wear rings. |
