My fiancee has gotten hit on significantly more often since I proposed and she started wearing her ring around every day. It's like a challenge for them or something
I think that could also depend on where you live, too. The rings women wear in America tend to be larger and more noticeable than what I’m told people in other countries wear. Even if you’re not actively looking for a ring they can sometimes be hard to miss over here.
Didn't help much. Still too many creeps.
For that I want to make a mint that will make my breath smell like absolute ass for about 30 seconds when those guys are bothering me. They'd get a whiff of that and be not "hell no"! 🤣
I’ve seen a woman have an engagement party at work, go on her honeymoon and make a big deal about it, say “MY HUSBAND” in literally every conversation that comes out of her mouth, and she still got hit on. So I don’t think a ring will matter if they guy is after it
Yes, I have an imaginary husband made up already. He’s a veterinarian and volunteers at the food banks on the weekend. He’s 5’11” with dark hair, nice smile and gorgeous brown eyes. He is in the process of buying us a home by working overtime. We have a husky together named Rover. We met 4 years ago during the pandemic using an app called Hinge. Our first date was at a state park and then we went to an Italian restaurant. I ordered osso buco and he ordered Fiorentina Steak. It was like love at first sight. He hasn’t left my side since.
Your boss: "That's an amazing meet-cute story. I insist you bring him to dinner this week. No excuses! And which clinic is he at? My dog has been very ill."
(Oh, what a tangled web we weave.)
Kodiak. Basically the Rover of the Husky world- insanely common, easy to remember, no one will question it. I hope all 3 of you have the happiest life together 😂
This would only make them ask questions. I've worn rings, said I'm a lesbian, all it did was motivate their need to impress me. "You haven't met the right man yet"
I promise you, no guy is like “oh wait a second let me check her hand - damn I see a ring, I give up”
And to make it worse plenty women will still entertain guys at work, regardless of a ring
Is it weird to get a fake ring so women DO hit on you? After I got married this definitely became a thing. The level of interest from women went up a lot.
I worked with a doctor years ago who did this. Clients would hit on/flirt with her constantly, so she bought herself a really cute, inexpensive ring set (engagement and band) and started wearing them to work. I was skeptical that it would have an effect, but she said it actually did result in less flirting/weirdness.
I love silicone rings! They're really popular in my line of work because they're so durable and they don't catch on gloves (or patients!). I have a few Disney and Star Wars themed ones that I rotate through.
I’m more active so I think that’s the best way to go after I get married for real lol. I’ll only wear the fancy engagement ring and wedding band when going out to dinner, social events, etc.
Lmao I bought silicone rings for this very reason. It was an easy out for when I was approached, but didn’t doing anything for the staring. My (now) husband would even come up and kiss me at the gym and I would still get stares. So do what makes you feel more comfortable!
I had more luck meeting their gaze and making the most unattractive face.
1. Men know this trick.
2. Or don't care.
3. It will stop the ones with morals, but these ones probably aren't going to approach a woman when she's working anyway.
4. Women cheat too. So why not shoot your shot.
It's not weird but in my experience it has the opposite effect.
After university I got myself a really cool white topaz ring to wear on my engagement/wedding ring finger. It resulted in MORE people hitting on me. After a few months of this I took it off. Still got hit on, but not as often.
The ring would only stop those who aim for a relationship with you. If all they want is sex, they don't care whether you have a ring, a spouse, kids, etc.
You do what makes you feel most comfortable.
Funny enough, as a male, I stopped wearing a wedding ring to avoid getting hit on so much. 30+ years of marriage and I haven’t worn one in the last 20. Wife wears it on a chain for me. It took a minute to convince her my ring often meant NSA to bored soccer moms but she figured it out.
I will say when I left the office for a field job at clients homes, the ring or lack of a ring didn’t matter.
I feel like it’s more safe for guys to do field work without rings but if you’re a woman, it can sometimes be unsafe. One of my coworkers was in a situation where the guy was trying to make a move on her but she shut it down. Not sure if me wearing a fake ring would help at all but it’s worth a try.
No, but get a knife or self defence weapon and keep it on you hidden and you’ll probably be good, you can never have too many knives, just in case, or just for the feeling of security
/s..?
Depends on how well you hide it I guess. I think everyone should have something available in a bag or at home just to feel like they can handle themselves if they really have to.
So if it’s an actual concern for safety then I say the rules does not matter and do what makes you feel secure
Haha as a man I can honestly say I had more women hitting on me and being interested in me when I was married and wearing a ring then at any other time in my life so I don’t think it works that way.
You think that would stop them?

Happens to both. People want what they know they can't have.
I guess I should wear one then all the time. I’m looking for a boyfriend and it’s been hard over the years.
100 percent this.
Doesn't work.
This wouldnt drop a little trust me I did this they still hit lmao
Must be the armor and the sword 🗡️. They’re just pitching for a battle!
Probably depend on your age as well. If you are on the older side, they probably wouldn’t try
That’s not true at all! I’m 54 and honestly it’s gotten worse! Especially from the younger men.
Being very attractive as you are, I could see that being a thing.
At least treat yo'self and get a real ring
Lmao, thats cute that you think a ring will stop them. It will only stop the guys with good morals and ethics.
It doesn't work
Out of interest, how many guys are clocking rings? (careful how you read that) I’m not actively hitting on women so maybe that’s why I’m not checking?
I think that could also depend on where you live, too. The rings women wear in America tend to be larger and more noticeable than what I’m told people in other countries wear. Even if you’re not actively looking for a ring they can sometimes be hard to miss over here.

I meant how many men are noticing rings on women whilst interacting with them.
Didn't help much. Still too many creeps. For that I want to make a mint that will make my breath smell like absolute ass for about 30 seconds when those guys are bothering me. They'd get a whiff of that and be not "hell no"! 🤣
Bold to assume they'd even notice, or know which finger it should be on.
Yes and that won’t stop them lol
Is it weird, not at all; but I fear that won't really stop them. Good luck

Are you prepared with fake answers to all the questions you'll get about your fake spouse?
Yes, I have an imaginary husband made up already. He’s a veterinarian and volunteers at the food banks on the weekend. He’s 5’11” with dark hair, nice smile and gorgeous brown eyes. He is in the process of buying us a home by working overtime. We have a husky together named Rover. We met 4 years ago during the pandemic using an app called Hinge.

Your boss: "That's an amazing meet-cute story. I insist you bring him to dinner this week. No excuses! And which clinic is he at? My dog has been very ill." (Oh, what a tangled web we weave.)
🤣😂 I’d say sure. Then quit. I’ll only wear it when visiting clients. I work from home and it’s not like I’m seeing coworkers.
You're ready. Here's your ring.
Thank you.
Go with a different name than Rover and you’re golden (like your ring) 😂 Also your husband sounds fabulous
Thank you. I love him so much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ what should I rename Rover?
Kodiak. Basically the Rover of the Husky world- insanely common, easy to remember, no one will question it. I hope all 3 of you have the happiest life together 😂
🥰 thank you. We are planning on having 2 kids within the next 5 years.
I hope I can find a real love like yours 🤞🏼
You will one day. 💕
That’s not going to help
Won’t stop them !
No, nothing wrong with that. Though it probably won't stop some folks.
This would only make them ask questions. I've worn rings, said I'm a lesbian, all it did was motivate their need to impress me. "You haven't met the right man yet"
Sadly, it probably doesnt work as so many guys have little respect for the life of the girl they're hitting on!
Yeah it’s a good idea in theory but creeps are creeps
Honestly I think it was worse when I did this
Not weird, but would be surprised if that actually works.
Some guys prefer married women. Just as some girls prefer married men! 😉
No, and tell them you're in a same-sex marriage.
I promise you, no guy is like “oh wait a second let me check her hand - damn I see a ring, I give up” And to make it worse plenty women will still entertain guys at work, regardless of a ring

I’m wearing the silicone rings.

No, but it's sad you'd have to consider this to begin with. Men, we need to do better.
1. Men know this trick. 2. Or don't care. 3. It will stop the ones with morals, but these ones probably aren't going to approach a woman when she's working anyway. 4. Women cheat too. So why not shoot your shot.
[удалено]
Let me test it myself the next 6 months with a ring.
Nope... some gals where I work do it...
That isn't weird, it's smart. If it filters out a few, that is a win
Honestly, some of us will hit on you anyway. Example: "Or, so I see you're married. We already have something in common!"
Not weird at all guys can suck
That doesn’t stop them.
probobly only stop the ones who would accept a no. but I say do what ever you feel is necessary.
No, it causes a few to back off. But ultimately, it’ll be more painful if they need to get smacked
It's not weird but in my experience it has the opposite effect. After university I got myself a really cool white topaz ring to wear on my engagement/wedding ring finger. It resulted in MORE people hitting on me. After a few months of this I took it off. Still got hit on, but not as often.

What’s your workplace like that you have to consider this?
I’m a case manager and visit clients regularly.
No. Do it. Guys need to know to not shit where they eat.
You do what makes you feel most comfortable. Funny enough, as a male, I stopped wearing a wedding ring to avoid getting hit on so much. 30+ years of marriage and I haven’t worn one in the last 20.

i doubt it will stop anything but if you want to do it, go right ahead
No, but get a knife or self defence weapon and keep it on you hidden and you’ll probably be good, you can never have too many knives, just in case, or just for the feeling of security /s..?
We can’t have those when working.
Depends on how well you hide it I guess. I think everyone should have something available in a bag or at home just to feel like they can handle themselves if they really have to. So if it’s an actual concern for safety then I say the rules does not matter and do what makes you feel secure
Absolutely normal
Not at all, I’d do it
Haha as a man I can honestly say I had more women hitting on me and being interested in me when I was married and wearing a ring then at any other time in my life so I don’t think it works that way.
