  How come all the older good looking guys at the gym don't have wedding rings? It's just a recent observation I had...I would think they would have been "taken".
  
  Or perhaps I already answered my question.

  well that's an eye-opening question. i work out at home or in a studio with a trainer, so i didn't realize that'd even be an issue. things that make you go hmmmmmm...

  They could be taking them off during their workouts or they may be unmarried or divorced.

  Or gay. In which case, they probably wouldn't be wearing a wedding ring.

  Maybe they take them off before working out. That seems very practical. Also I know alot of guys who don't wear their rings just because they don't like wearing jewerly. Some wear their rings around their neck out of sight. Could also mean they have a gf/bf. Bare hands don't signify anything unless you want them to.
  
  I have to say noticing guys are ringless in a gym means you are looking pretty hard. (just teasing you)

  Even in conventional hereto marriages, men's rings aren't universal by any means - my parents were together for over 35 years, and he never wore his ring...in fact, I had it remade for my partner a few years ago.

  Just because it's not legal doesn't mean we don't.

  They take their rings off. No one watches the old guys more than I do. I see them take their rings off and leave them in their locker. I'm pretty sure it is becaue heavy bars wreak havoc on rings. Especially since most bars have that raised tread on them.
  I have an engagement ring ( I thought it was pretty and my bf at the time wanted to get me something pretty...long story) Anyway, even when I picked it up, the salesgirl warned me not to leave it on when I lift. She said that would ruin it.

  My ex and I would always take ours off so they wouldn't get damaged by the knurling on the bars and dumbbells.

  I'm with GuiltyGear on this. I don't want the knurled bars to damage my ring. But when I'm chatting with my workout partners, I talk openly about my partner. And some of the other guys in the gym know my partner through the music community here and we exchange brief updates. So I'm not hiding anything.

  My knuckles are too big to take my ring off every time I workout. The funniest moment at our wedding was when my husband tried to slip my ring on and he could not do it, so I had to try for what seemed like forever and everyone burst out in laughter. One of those embarrassing moments that one never forgets. Anyway, we have had the rings since our first ceremony (not legal) and I have never noticed my ring being a problem although it is a bit marred.

  I always take off my rings before I work out. I once caught a ring I was wearing on a piece of gym equipment and nearly ripped my finger off. Since then, the rings have to go before I get started.

  I once caught a ring between a hot wire and ground while working under the hood of a truck. Not a pleasant experience. Haven't worn a ring since, if I did I'd just lose the thing 'cause I'd be taking it off all the time!

  Haha - this is one of the reasons I wear gloves - so the bars don't shred it.

  I agree with the above posts and always take off my watch and rings so I don't damage or get them caught in equipment. I guess I have never noticed if other men are wearing rings
