How many of you broski's wear wedding bands? My girlfriend says its a must that I wear one when we tie the knot. I say "hell no".
-
If you have 17" arms then you will get all the girls like Anabolichalo. So even if you dont wear the wedding band and she divorces you, you can just flex your 17" arms and get all the girls.
Its a win-win situation, stud.

How come you won't wear one? If it's because you still want to pick up chicks it becomes easier with a wedding ring on.

Very true. Especially the young whores.
-
I get shit all the time from my mom and wife about it. I wear it for dinners and big events (when I remember). I train 6-7 days a week and am just active in general. The ring just isn't practical. Try and train back wearing a ring

Not that at all, especially since I've heard from many individuals that the band does make one more desirable. I just cannot stand jewelry, whether its a watch, earring, band, whatever.
-
I prefer 80's cover bands

I wore one for a few years but it's been off for the last 7 years or so. Not really into jewelry, however I have started wearing a watch.
-
I do except when sleeping, showering or in the gym. Mine is made out of titanium, so I have tangled it up in cable work and almost removed my finger.
-
My wife wants me to. So I wear it. Take it off in the gym and that's about it. Doesn't really bother me to wear it or not. So if she feels like she's winning because of it, great. I hum and haw about it, but always give in.
Negotiation (and hence marriage, which is just a lifelong negotiation) is all about giving in to the other party on points of contention that are a big deal for them, yet aren't for you...and then playing up how much of a big deal it was for you to give in on that one (albeit inconsequential to you) point. I then use the principle of "can't say no twice in a row" to get what I really want.
Wife: "Hey, how come you're going out with the guys to the pub again? And where's your wedding ring?"
Me: "Aw, come on. I never see the guys anymore since Mike had a kid. It's one time. And why do you care if I wear my ring...are you afraid some girl at the bar will hit on me?" (clever question...if she answers in the affirmative, she displays weakness and beta female tendencies. If she answers in the negative, she admits beta tendencies for marrying an unattractive sod. I know she will deflect)
Wife: "Well, I just wish you'd wear it, is all. Don't you like it?" (here's her misdirection, into a full on assault. If I answer in the negative, I cast aspersions on our entire union...the ring being a reflection of her and our marriage. Thus, the only wise answer is in the affirmative, but with a reciprocal ask of my own)
Me: "Of course I love the ring. It's beautiful. You know, I didn't know you felt so strongly about it. Of course I'll wear it out tonight at the pub with the guys. I love you!" (of course I know she feels strongly about it...we argue about this at least once per month. But I close the statement off with an "I love you", which women love to hear and improves her security. And I also close it off by letting her know how proud I am to proclaim our union at the pub tonight - again a security blanket).
Wife: "Ok sweetie, don't be too late. Wake me up when you get home."
Result for her: She gets me to wear my wedding band in public, secure in the belief that any woman who lays eyes on me will run screaming for the hills due to the wedding band, even though I probably would have worn the thing anyways
Result for me: I pretend to not want to wear it, to set up a reciprocal give-and-take situation on the issue of the ring in order to score a free guilt-free night out at the pub with friends.

Smart move: If you want a good time, have a good watch.

haha...thanks for sharing a real life story.

Good info. I'm going to follow all of you to the gym and steal your rings out of your lockers while you workout.
-
Have one, take it off for the summer, wife doesn't care if I wear it or not.
-
If you don't want to wear one tell her the story of 9 finger Eddie. He went for a dunk and got his ring stuck on the metal rim loops. His finger stayed up on the hoop.

i can't type with one. I can't sleep with it on. i can't play guitar/bass with one. I can't lift with one. I can't knock one out with one on.
Aside from that time, I wear it.

-I've had it with your shit. I'm going out and coming home late, blind drunk.
-Whatever. Don't steal any road signs with your juvenile retard buddies.
-Bitch I haven't done that in 2 years!
-Btw, we're going to mom's tomorrow for brunch.
-Doh!

Pawn shops pay a decent price for wedding bands.
-
Have not wore one for years! At my job it was very dangerous to wear a ring so never really got accustomed to it, and it sucked wearing one in the gym also. She went out a few years back and bought me a real nice diamond one, it got pawned! She then bought me a titanium one and it sits in a jewelery box. Just not me!!!

funny you said that, last week a lost mine as I put it in my pocket before gym session and forgot about it. When I came back home from gym it wasn't there any more. Next day I went to gym and asked receptionist but no one has returned it. I normally leave it in the car before training but for some reason forgot to that this time.
And this is the second time I lost one. Wife is saying I should wear one on the chain around my neck. ::)

how would you feel about your wife not wearing hers? or only wearing it around you? or if you found out she takes it off when she goes certain places?

I couldn't care less if she wears a ring or not. I'd rather someone be comfortable than ask them to wear something they don't want to.

Do people still go by the 2 or 3 month's salary rule?

I have no idea... 2-3 months salary would be a fucking 4ct rock for me. lol. fuck that. I just wanna rock bigger than most. 1.5-2ct on a 5ft tall girl looks about right.

WEAR IT ALL DAY,TAKE IT OFF TO GO TO GYM.
This, when I am able to get there!

That rule is fucking ridiculous. Most women just use their big rings to show off to other women...you're spending 25k for a woman to compensate for her figurative small penis

Wedding band, not engagement ring

Wear the ring. Among other things, marriage is buying into convention. You do not do that and then pretend like you are some rebel by refusing to wear a ring. If you don't want to wear a ring, do not get married (to her or any other woman who expects you to wear a ring). You can take off your ring when you train or as otherwise necessary for a specific task, but why get married if you do not want to adhere to the conventions of marriage? As noted previously, marriage is about negotiation and compromise. The ring has come to symbolize the marriage vow. Why make it if you are not all in? If she wants you to wear it, you absolutely should.
Bah!

this because I also happen to not be into jewelry period. Not even a watch.
I told her to just go on Amazon and buy 1 of the carbon fiber rings once a month since they are cheap if it's that important to her but then she thought to herself and figured she isn't that insecure on a daily basis but does want me to wear my nice ring (and fancy watch) when we go out to nice places and events etc..
both the ring and watch annoy me but she compromised so I wear it as requested when we go out somewhere nice.

My brain intended to say what I wrote. I'm quite sure my mouth said what you wrote. Let's call it a "loose translation".

I've come dangerously close to just getting a band tattoo'd on.
