I’m male and happen to despise male jewelry. I also do a lot of hands on electrical and machine work, where if you happen to like all ten of your digits it’s advisable not to wear rings (or bracelets, watches, necklaces, or to have long hair.) While spending the last twenty years as a Soldier I even found wearing dog-tags to be an annoyance and ditched them whenever possible. I’d also add that when I was first married I could barely afford to pay the rent, so throwing away money on a ring for myself was definitely out of the question. My wife has later lamented the fact that I don’t wear a ring, so I offered to have one tattooed on my finger, even though I also despise tattoos. Fortunately she dislikes tattoos as well and my ring finger remains ‘liberated’ (and still attached) to this day.
