I'm in the don't buy a ring club and it has never come up in social situations.

No one cares about your stuff as much as you do.

Of course it comes up in social situations. If I'm interested in a girl and she has a ring on her left ring finger, I drop it. It's literally the first thing I check; it's basic etiquette.

Lol, my partner and I don't wear rings, but if you're interested in her she'll let you know to drop it.

Exactly, there are lots of social cues at play in these situations besides a ring. It’s no different than the way someone who is unmarried but in a committed relationship lets people know not to bother.

This is tedious for someone receiving frequent attention.
