And what kind of guy wants to get with that kind of female?

I'm guessing "girl" is the four letter word? :confused:

Whatever works. :shrug;

No, really. What was the word?

:evil:

Does it rhyme with "bunt?"

hunt? :confused:

People with morals.

Then I suggest talking to your own gender about that.

Sorry, but this is not urban myth, and something I've proven myself. A male who is 'taken' is assumed more desireable by eligible women not because he's a challenge, but because somebody else thinks he's got good genetics.

Need I bring up "I'm waiting for him to leave his wife because I love him" which is uttered by a few zillion women each year.

Approach this scientifically. Go to different bars over the course of two months. Allocate one-week blocks. Alternate wearing the ring or not for the week. Count the number of women who approach you during each week.

Let N1 = the number of women who approach you while you're wearing the ring; N2= the number of women who approach you while you're not wearing a ring.
Do a hypothesis test to see if N1 > N2 is statistically significant.

0 is not larger than 0.

Woman: I see that your married
Man: Not married... I choose this finger because it fits the best

What, a guy can't dress the way he feels comfortable without getting all kinds of attention from sleazy women? Listen, just because my finger is dressed this way does not give you the right to stare at me!

If it really works I wonder how much of it is the ring versus increased confidence on the guys part. Part of the act is to not appear like all the other single guys right? A married guy should be appealing to women because he is secure and confident since he already has a girl to go home to. On the other hand single guys will often wreak of desperateness.

The guy in question would have a few fabricated stories ready to use, depends on the place and situation, and basically fooling these women into thinking that:
1. The guy is unavailable (which poses a challenge)
2. The guy won't be attached to the fling ;)
3. Whatever other reasons that some women are attracted to married men...

Anyways, some of the guys said that this method do work, much better than hanging out at a bar and projecting the image of a single guy trying to land a deal, or worse, desperate.

Morally, I don't even know where to begin pointing out what is wrong with this. But what do you guys/gals think?

Seriously.... it works. It's sad but it works. I've tried it and got laid.

So how do you transition from, "Yup, married, that's what this ring means" to "Ok, let's have sex"?

I think you just stick to the story of your "wife", "kids", and let the woman drive the course. "Married men" are suppose to be level headed and have the basic conversation skills, so I guess it does take some practice and a bit of confidence to play the part.

When the women in my building found out I'd gotten married (after seeing my ring),
well there are 2 extremely beautiful women that didn't give me the time of day beforehand, and now...one of them asked me to go hiking and running with her, stops by and chats with me, gives me a big wave and smile, asks about my weekend, etc.

And yes, she knows my wife is not currently here in town. Amazing. She is the EXACT type of woman (physically at least) I was looking for when dating. It boggles the mind. My wife asks me if there are any beautiful women around my work and if they 'bother' me as she puts it...I tell her 'yes' 'cuz I know what's good for me and it's not these women it's her :)

ii do not think it is bad at all
look at the kind of women they get though, women who either want to have a fling with someone who will be unattatched, and women wanting to sleep with a married man. these women are not looking for saints anyway so a liar fits the bill perfectly. in fact this is better then them actually hooking up with a married man. and one lie is just as bad as another, a man telling a women his dog died or whatever no better than a man pretending to be married, or another guy renting an expensive car and pretending it is his anc going out. all lies to get a woman

What's the difference between a guy wearing a fake wedding ring and a woman wearing makeup? In both cases, the person in question is advertising something that isn't true.

You are only going to attract girls who don't really know what they want or know what they want and are manipulative. Bad idea.

Also, you will start relationships based on lying. Also not a good idea.

Same thing as lying, so if you think lying to pick up women is wrong then yep..

Some non married women wear wedding or engagement rings so guys will not hit on them

Who cares if you're deceiving women who are interested in married men?

People with morals.

Sadly you are right to a degree, spike. I was talking to some female co-workers yesterday, and they both said that they just plain don't trust men. When I asked why, they said that they are weak, and a woman will go after a taken guy relentlessly until he relents.

Obviously this doesn't apply to all men and women, but it's still pretty terrible.

This is bullshit. I see a wedding ring on a guy and I'm not gonna want to jump his bones. period.
