" What difference does a wedding ring really mean to these guys? "
If they intend to win you over to become your real boyfriend, a ring might show them that they would have to go through a hard time of divorce with you, money issues, you possibly changing your mind every now and then whether or not you really want that divorce, dealing with a husband who does not want to throw it all away so easily, maybe threatening them, etc.
And that's too much of a work to do for those interested in you. And that may be why their limit is a wedding ring. Maybe there are still some morals in them when they see a ring.
Their response "Well, you're not married, so I still have a chance, right?" I think is maybe born of helplessness after you told them you are in a serious relationship. They might not be able to say "sorry, then" and just go away and thank you for the talk. Too proud to be a stallion, you know.
These are just my thoughts.
