Should a woman wear a ring on her fourth finger?

Please share your thoughts on this:

Should a woman who is not married, not engaged, not in a relationship, wear a ring on her fourth finger (ring finger)?

Women i know had said that they wear it for fashion. Sometimes that ring they love only has that size that fits the fourth finger. If women can wear a ring on any finger, why not the fourth?

Men i know had said that they will not approach a woman and will not flirt with her if they see a ring on her fourth finger. It is a form of courtesy. Is that true with all men?

I do. I have no qualms about wearing a ring on any finger... I love bling.

It also does keep unwanted advances at bay and I do wear a diamond on my ring finger whenever I travel.

from a guy's point of view...i don't approach a girl who has a ring on her fourth finger. it's not a courtesy thing...but to me, if it's a diamond ring or some sort of an engagement ring look-alike, then it means she's taken. and i'd rather not get into that drama.

I think people should be able to wear rings on whatever finger they want. Maybe they don't follow that marriage tradition.

I would totally use it as a way to fool men into thinking I'm taken.

What if u want to wear a ring on your fourth finger but u don't want others to think u are taken? Will others think you are not following marriage tradition? If so, how can wearing a ring on the fourth finger fool any men?

some guys don't care whether or not you have a ring...nor will they care if you're even with the guy next to you.

i think i'm relatively observant, so i notice things like a ring. if the ring seems...somewhat fashionable and isn't an engagement/diamond ring, then i do approach her. if it resembles something like a diamond ring, then i don't.

The person can be seen as married--depending on the type of ring.

The thing is, you gotta ask yourself what is more important to you. Do you do what you want by wearing the ring on the fourth finger? Or do you not wear it there just because "some guy" might not hit on you?

If you go out and see a guy you like and you think it might stand in the way, just take it off.

Comments on this post
HistorianChick agrees: I've actually been in that situation... lol... and the guy noticed the "after" ringless finger! It actually created a conversation opener! LOL!

like it or not, a ring on that finger means married to most people.

is it ok for you to wear a ring there? sure. your body, your call.

but the reality is that most recognize what a ring on that finger usually means.

you have 9 other fingers. cant one of the others do if you want to avoid confusion? what about the right hand "ring" finger?

Haha... Yeah, what is it with the left ring or right ring finger? Many people seems to have different opinions about that. I believe that a ring on either ring finger could mean a person is taken. But does the left and right spells different meaning to whether it's a HE or a SHE? Is this knowledge common?
