I'm not asking for another clothesline "discussion." I'm just asking for folks to sound off, kind of like a poll, on what their reasons are.

It's time to grow up. Any attempt to humbly please the Lord in all things, whether it be to wear or not wear a ring is indeed commendable. Nothing can be said to argue that point. I applaud that attitude. It is an attitude that I carefully assume also. Suggestion: Let us also try to humbly please the Lord in the attitude that we have toward those who do not see the finer points in the exact same way that we see them. The dispicable attitude to be shunned in ourselves is the one that secretly seem themselves holier than others because of their naked, ringless finger. That is truly dispicalble.
I agree with you brother. I am just left wondering because I know people that own wedding rings, but don't wear them. I met another one yesterday. People who give each other bibles as their token of their wedding vows, I can understand why they don't wear wedding rings, because they decided from day 1 that they weren't going to. But people who use rings as the token in their wedding ceremony, and then later decide not to wear them, that seems a little confusing.
