Side note: my husband wears a Qalo ring because he is active as well.

I think yes, flirting is easier when it is safer, and the wedding ring promises that.

Did you have trouble being faithful before you were engaged, when neither of you had jewelry to indicate you were taken? If not, you are going to be fine. If yes, a wedding ring won't help you anyway.

the ring on or off topic reminded me of this.
DH here, I almost never wear my wedding ring. I am a very active person and seen too many pictures of finger getting cut badly from the wedding ring catching on something. DW is fine with this, I told her the ring isn't what would stop me from cheating it because I care about our marriage and love her.
Anyways... When I do wear it, at social events or vacation, it seems I get hit on. Do women find it easier to flirt and chat with a guy wearing a wedding ring because they feel it safer? DW was the first to point this out to me, so its not something I am dreaming up
