Indeed, there is no consensus. It can be worn both on the left or on the right ring-finger, depending on local traditions.

It is true that the wedding ring is worn on the right hand in Poland.

Hmmm, I never would have known either.

You do realize that in some western cultures, that the wedding ring is worn on the right hand, while in some other cultures it is worn on the left. The only ones I know for sure are the US and Canada, where the ring is worn on the left hand. In Poland, however, I am almost certain it is worn on the right hand. I toured around Poland a few years ago visiting my brother-in-law in Krakow. I am almost positive this is the case there.

Sorry, I only know she was of Polish origin because I asked her where her name came from. She is actually Polish-Canadian. She had no idea that Poland just had an election etc...

The diamond was so big I'm almost certain it would be a fake... looked like about 6 carrots and a couple of radishes.

Sounds more like a salad.

Carats... (but this increment only applies to precious stones, not glass)

So I don't know if this kind of camouflage on a woman's person suggests conceit or an actual method to avoid the advances of men.

On one hand the woman considers herself attractive enough to attract unwanted attention... and on the other hand the woman may have experienced such a large number of unsolicited come-ons that she has resorted to dressing the part of a married woman with a very rich husband (re: you can't match the guy I'm hooked up with).

I don't know of any parallel behaviour in men. Usually its the opposite and the man will find some excuse for not wearing his wedding ring. And of course I generalize, for the sake of research.

She may just like gaudy jewelry. I personally don't like wearing big rings because they get in the way, same reason I don't wear those gawd awful fake fingernails.

I'm glad because most of that kind of bling creeps me out. There's a realtor from California that has let her nails grow to the point of curling under like some kind of Panda bear claws. Otherwise she's a presentable, professional woman... but the nails are something that repel me to no end. Perhaps that's their purpose?

Well...some women get real attached to their nails and watching them grow so long. I saw a woman with one hand of LONG nails and the other short. She worked at the supermarket. I asked her how long she's been growing her nails and she told me 10 years and there's no way she's cutting them. I met a few other people like her.

I'm attached to my hair! Although I have been thinking to cut it lately.

 

[HeLiXe]

Nah - just being a good host and offering a relaxing and restorative libation.

You are too kind :D

 

[BobG]

Wearing jewelry that would get in the way of anything a person tried to do with their hands, or having fingernails so long they can't actually use their fingers for anything, all display a wealth great enough that the woman doesn't have to do anything. She's so rich she can hire someone to open her can of Bud Light.

And the supermarket girl is only going to fool people as long as she has one hand in her pocket and the other hand...

[baywax]

Yeah... but I notice that its all the men speculating about what a woman's motives, limitations and expertise are by what they've done to their nails... etc...

the thing I like about women is that I really don't know what the **** is going on in their heads... being a man makes reading men easier... women... don't think so... the only way to find out is to listen...
