So men do wear engagement rings? So, then did you ask her to marry you or did she ask you? Sorry, I'm not familiar with men getting engagement rings, I'm just trying to understand.

Why are not you? Don't men wear any ring where you live?
In Turkey both woman and man wear it, in France it's like this as well.

Men here in the U.S. do not wear engagement rings only wedding rings. When you get engaged, typically it's the man asking the woman and he presents her with an engagement ring, usually this is a diamond ring worn on her left hand. When they get married, he gives her a wedding band and she gives him a wedding band. So, the woman has two rings, the engagement ring and wedding band. The man only has one ring, the wedding band. I just have never heard of two people getting engaged and the man gets an engagement ring.

i suppose if a woman proposes then the man would get the engagment ring... he would then offer her an engagement ring back so both would have

The Wedding ring for men is same as the wedding band there,we just call it Wedding ring.
Men dont get 2 rings,its just one Wedding band,or engagement band.
İ will explain what i know,
When a man and a woman get engaged,they both exchange the wedding bands,and the both wear them on their right hands,so people knows they are engaged.
So you can call them now engagments bands.
And here,woman get the Wedding ring as well,it can be diamond,or gold.
And then when they get married,at the wedding ceremony,they change the bands from the right hands to the left hands.
He change hers,and she change his.
So,they both now wear the wedding bands on the left hands.
As for the devoted Muslims wear the rings,or the bands on the right hands,i never heard of it.

Quoting teaschip1: It may not be a rule, but I'm sure they have customs. You mentioned some men don't even wear their's after the wedding. Isn't this a little disrespectful to their wife? Also, does a woman give a man an engagement ring to, just curious? |
why "disrespectful"? 
my father doesn't like rings. as far as I know, he never had ring.

I don't like them too. In my previous marriage I had one on my left hand when I was out, but the moment I arrived home I took it off (no problem with my ex who disliked them as well - so why we ever bought them, beats me...). So I guess no more engagement or wedding for me?

Same here! I only wear my wedding ring and that is it. My husband never had a ring, we just bought a carpet with the money when we got married. Far more useful. Anyway, in the UK, it is only in the last 20 or so years that men started to wear wedding rings, but still not common.

Hi teaschip1,
This man wears one I asked Nesrin to marry me yes when I go to Turkey very soon I will ask her again properley. In my situation with me living in England it was very important we both had that commitment I can not see anything wrong with a man wearing an engagement ring, I constantly look at my engagement ring and think about the life I now want with my fiancee. When we chose the rings we got a matching pair engraved with our names in and the date we then had a lovely party to celebrate our engagement.
I think alot of engagements in England are taken too lightly I have known people be engaged many times for me this is not taken seriously, my engagement means something and I still have fond memories of our engagement party.
