Poll: Hypothetical situation, ring lost

I found this in the police report section of a newspaper today:

A woman reported the theft of her change purse at *bar name* at 12:40 am. The purse contained $25 of cash and an engagement ring valued at $3,200.
My thoughts here are this girl is since where there's smoke there is fire. What reason would a girl have to hide her engagement ring, other than to appear single so guys won't be scared off of approaching her. But of course my gf argues "oh no maybe she just was afraid it would slide off her finger and didn't want to drop it or lose it. It doesn't mean she's trying to pretend she's single."

I countered with "then why do I always see a ton of both women and men out at bars with their rings still on?"

So what does everyone think? Should this be a giant red flag for the dude and should he nix her, or do girls routinely do this with their rings so they don't lose them?

It's supposed to be an important symbolic piece of jewelry mean to be kept on most of the time from what I understand (and glean from most women). It's why they made insurance for these kinds of possessions

Why would she think she think putting in a purse would be more secure than on her own finger? Sounds way sketchy to me. I haven't been engaged that long but I do know my fiancée guards her ring with her life and even sleeps with it on.

Yup, my wife did the same when we were engaged. She wanted to show it off every chance she could

I would be a bit concerned if there are other red flags. I'm not sure I would base it just on that.

I take my ring off a lot when I'm shooting pool. I know some people are paranoid about wearing flashy bling out at bars. Maybe she was afraid that alcohol would tarnish it. Just playing devil's advocate here.

True, I mean for all we know her man could have been there with her and even told her to put it in the purse so she doesn't lose it. But all I had to go by was the 2 sentence blurb posted above. And I know the stereotype of the shady guys putting their wedding rings in their pockets when going out on the town, so I figured women can be just as devious.

Unless there are other reasons to believe otherwise, I don't see it as a red flag. Especially if it has been very recently given, or not sized well...the excuse of taking it off in a crowded bar is very plausible.

Bottom line, if a broad wants to go out and get filled up with dick, she doesn't need to hide her ring. I've been with a girl who was engaged before...and I don't even remember if she wore her ring when we met or not.

It sounds fishy. If the ring was really loose, the girl could have worn it as a pendant or changed the band size.

The only time I take off my engagement ring is when I take a bath.

my wife wouldn't take her ring off to save her life - it was loose at one point, so she just wrapped the bottom of it w/a little tape until she could get it into a shop.

An engagement ring prevents you from trying to get broads drunk and give them dick?

sounds sketchy to me. Maybe she had just lubed up a cock and it was causing the ring to slide off.

If 4 attractive women were plopped in front of you and 3 of them had engagement rings on which would you try the hardest to go home with?

The ring wouldn't be a factor...it would just be a judgement call on what broad seemed to offer the best combo of hotness and probability for coitus.

But in general, I would try to bang them all...at least eventually.

Good replies everyone. I hope no one thinks I'm the guy here, I just posted a newspaper blurb.

My gf would NEEEVER do such a thing if she had a ring.

Hmm, two random chicks flirting with me at the bar. One with ring, one without. Who to take home for one night stand? The one with the ring. Why? She will be gone in the morning.
