A single male co-worker of mine was wearing what appeared to be a wedding ring, so I asked him if he had gotten married. He replied that he had gotten engaged. When I asked about the ring, he said it was an engagement ring. He had bought his fiancé one, and he thought he should have one, too.
Seriously? It's not enough that men don't have to shave if they don't want to, don't get cramps once a month, don't have to worry about drunk 60-year-old men hitting on them when they're just trying to have a drink with a friend? Now they get a ring, too?
Then again, maybe it's a good thing. You see a ring on a guy's finger, you know he's out of bounds. No time-wasting there. Move along; nothing to see here.
I dunno, though. It still strikes me as sort of odd. There are some things that should just be ours. I still don't like the idea of men getting facials and mani-pedis -- not because it's "feminine," but because guys have it so easy already. Why do they need to relax even more? Come on!
Next thing you know, there will be bridal showers for guys. And we all know how I feel about bridal showers...

Well, you're right about men with rings - definitely says they're off limits. Maybe that's a good thing!
A wedding shower for guys? Hmmm. I dunno about that one. Would that take the place of the bachelor party?

Guys can keep their bachelor parties ... just leave all the material things -- gifts, jewelry, etc. -- for us! :-)
hey... here they have materity leave for fathers
the ring is ok... but they should save it for the wedding!
Oh, yeah, they have that here, too, though it depends on the company. It's not federally mandated, as far as I know.
Guys are funny.
