Only bumping this because I got asked out yesterday by gym member who I've conversed with for a long time, but have never talked about personal relationships. Usually talk was about exercise, football and the Warriors. Good ego bump for me though.

Yes, I wear mine.

It matches all of my gold chains, glitzy bracelets, oversized watches and large, gold hoop earrings.

I never wear my ring at the gym or when I am competing. Years ago, I broke a prong and lost a diamond. I was extremely lucky to find the diamond but it scared me so I avoid wearing it when it could be damaged. I have a tattoo on my wedding finger so I am still honoring my husband.

I just scream about being married while I loudly remind the ladies at the gym that my eyes are up *here*

But I've seen the weakness thread, I know how dangerous THAT can be, so I always stay cautious--guarded.

Like a cat.

I wear mine, but I wear a silicon ring. I lost my actual wedding ring years ago; I wasn't wearing it because I had lost weight and it slid off all the time, but that was annoying my wife. I couldn't re-size because it was titanium...so I started wearing it again and it slipped off somewhere.

I wear three rings on the ring finger of my left hand. My engagement ring (an emerald cut diamond set with baguettes in a platinum band...a simple platinum wedding band, and an anniversary band of small channel set diamonds all the way around. I rarely wear my rings to workout. If it's just a zumba or barre class, it's not an issue, but when I lift weights the bands sometimes pinch my skin or rub to build a callus. Plus I once lost one of the channel set diamonds in my anniversary band, and while I had it replaced, I don't want to risk knocking another out.

I do, but I have an extremely practical and humble wedding band and a unity ring that don't interfere with my workouts or make me worry I'm going to lose a setting or *kitten* it up somehow.

I do but it always goes in my bra as I'm walking out of the changing room! If I forgert to take it off, it comes off immediately I wrap my fingers round a bar and again into my bra it goes!

Home gym but I take mine off because it affects my deadlift grip and I don’t want to scratch it to hell. The knurling on my bar is like a cheese grater lol

Yes, I rarely take my ring off! Have worn the same wedding ring for 42 years.

Never wear mine, neither does my husband. My marriage means something, the ring means nothing.

I think we have the same bar.

I wear three plain wedding bands on my right hand, my two grandmothers' and my mother's. The only time I take them off is for medical tests where they tell you to remove all metal. I use gloves to lift and the rings are covered by the partial finger on the gloves.

I wear mine everywhere (gym, work, night school). The only time I'll take it off is if I'm going to the happy hour at Applebee's.... 'cause, well, you never know when you might get lucky. 😲

Happy Hour at Applebee's = Slugfest

My husband lost his wedding ring while swimming in the sea. He was devastated. He ordered a new wedding band and had it engraved with the date of our marriage. He hardly ever wears it now for fear of losing it. I take mine off before going to the pool because it will slide off. So we both go to the same fitness center and go swimming without our wedding bands.

I wear mine to the gym but then I don't lift heavy weights, whatever suits you is good and you don't need a wedding ring to put off possible 'hook ups'. Some still see a ring and hit on you, as long as you are up front and don't encourage them and flirt. Tell them nicely and carry on.
