Male engagement rings - yay or nay?

Saw this article:

Would You Wear A Male Engagement Ring

What do you think about this?

Would you ever consider buying your guy a male engagement ring?

If you did, would he wear it?

My fiance' was engaged before and his fiance' gave him an engagment ring as well. He is from England and said that alot of guys get engagement rings over there. I told him not to hold his breath on me buying him one! haha

MY FH DH would probably not have worn it if i had given him one...but i think " WHY NOT"....  once he comitts to getting married he should have something on his finger telling other ladies that he is taken....

Ghana that is true.....

I dont think my DH would have worn one even if I would have wanted him too... which I didnt. I dont feel the need to "claim" my man... or show that he is taken, he knows he's taken by asking me to marry him...

I dont look down upon this either though, whatever floats your boat

I bought my FI one and he never takes it off! It was something he suggested though, not my idea. He'll get his "real ring" at the wedding and the engagement ring will be worn only when he's doing something where he thinks it could get messed up. I love that he wanted to wear one :)

This discussion was brought up the other day and got a little heated.  

I personally know somebody with a 'mangagement' ring and needless to say, she is insecure.  He is forced to wear it because she things he'll cheat otherwise.

Yikes.

If people want to do it, more power to them.  Personally, I think it would make it so much less special on the wedding day though. . .that time when he puts the ring on.

EDIT: to clarify, since I think my comment may have been taken wrong. . .just because I know one gal who does it as a measure of insecurity does not mean that my entire view of them is negative.  Maybe I should have written that in the first place?  Just stating a fact about somebody I know.  And that fact isn't a judgement - she flat out states the reason for it and the guy hates wearing the thing.  How is that healthy?  

Times are changing and I really like the idea of men wearing engagement rings too. If I have to wear a ring showing I'm off the market, then he should wear one too. Plus it give him a  chance to get use to wearing a ring. I wonder how many times he would forget to put it on after washing dishes?

My fi has one also, and he wears it everyday. <3...

For those of you who answered yes... Please post pics, I want to see :)

that was one of the things i was looking forward to with marrying DH was seeing a ring on his left hand.  i wouldn't want him with one before we got married.  would that mean he would have two rings on his finger after the wedding also?  not for me & DH probably would have thought it weird if i told him he should wear one before we got married.
