I would somewhat agree with that, but...

this part not as much. It's the commitment that's important, not the symbol of the commitment. If there's no commitment, it wouldn't matter if you're wearing a ring or not when some groupie comes along. In fact some guys have been known to intentionally leave the ring on when picking up a one night stand to project that they're in a "committed" relationship and aren't looking for anything more.

I agree that if there isn't a committment to begin with it won't matter if he wears the ring or not... my view was I just don't think it doesn't mean anything to take it off. It the ring isn't important than why exchange them to begin with?

To me and a lot of other women (and men for that matter) - a ring is a symbol of marriage and committment. For someone to so easily remove it, whether they mean to or not - sends a message that they aren't really committed.
