Im married and when I wore the ring, a girl was after me. Now that im separated and dont wear a ring, she could care less. So yeah, it works on some shallow biatches.

At least I think it was the lack of ring that caused her to stay away... That or the genital herpes and crabs..

If you need a cheap act to get attention, you probably should resort to something like that so you can actually get laid for once in your life.

Who said anything about relationship?

So all you're looking for is hot monkey sex? Why not just get a hooker - at least it's a sure thing. And she's about as likely to be disease free...

Wow, wow... hold the assumption horses, never once did I mention that I've participated in such endeavors. If we're to debating the differences between hooker, girlfriend, wife et al, that would be the next thread. I think the logic behind this could be equate to going fishing, and going to the market to buy some fish. In the end, it's fish you're getting (no pun intended) but how you catch it is what we're discussing.

Now that we're on the trail, should I begin to mention what women would do to get men? (or back at them). How deceptive, manipulative, vindictive, or even deadly a woman can be?

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 :)

maybe she thought you were just dorky and you were tryng to hook up with her and she thought you were creepy. now that you're married, she doesn't have to worry about it anymore so she can talk to you.

If the goal is to catch fish, then the bait doesn't really matter - as long as you catch something. However, if the goal is to catch a fish that you can enjoy, you'd better put some thought into what kind of bait will lure in the fish you want, and not the one you don't.

There's no denying that women can be just a deceitful as men. Who is better at it is subjective, and doesn't justify a debate. Perspective is truth, after all.

It's all about pursuing something that you can't get. On the other hand, if you can get something easily, then it's not worth the effort of pursuing. This applies for guys pursuing girls, and girls pursuing guys. We all play this mind game, and it's a game that's been going on since the dawn of humankind.

By virtues, basically you already know what kind of fish you're gonna catch with the bait. So what's wrong with that?

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"?

It actually never really came up. I noticed that she noticed the ring and she stepped up a notch...... and stuff happened.

Like I asked earlier: why not just get a hooker? It's a sure thing, and you know what you're getting. She's not going to come back to you later and ask for eighteen years of child support, either.

Well... there is another side of the 'married guy' thing (at least that's my guess).
Now when you're married the woman thinks you are 'safe' to talk to and she can initiate activities and not make you think she's coming on to you.

That's very true, at least for me. When I talk with a married man, I don't feel like I have to worry so much about giving the wrong impression, because he's not going to be looking for "signals."

Alright, so I'll engage in this debate. OK, men's primal instinct is to hunt (we'll substitute hunting for fishing in keeping with the theme). It's much more enjoyable to fish than to go to a market and buy a fish. I enjoy fishing, because I have my choice of what kind of fish I want to hook. If I go to a market, I get stale and not so fresh fish, not to mention availability of variety. Now, I've never used the bait in question, but I have baits of my own.

As far as other perceptible liabilities, in the course of fishing, I hope one is smart enough to bring safety equipments.

Let me tell ya, catching a fish is most joyous and invigorating, you should try sometimes.

Yup, what I thought....... basically you would dare speak to me if I had a ring on the wrong hand, right?

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.

I don't think you can do that because you don't know the number of women that didn't approach him.

If you can prove to me one relationship that doesn't start out with lies, I'll show you divine beings. And again, we're not talking about starting any relationship, except physical.

I like your hunting analogy. Wild animals chase the weakest prey first, because it increases the odds of catching some dinner. If the weaker prey is acceptable to you, then that's what you'll hunt.

However, if you really want a challenge, you'll go for the more dominant members of the herd. And they're not nearly so easy to catch. Which makes dinner taste that much better, IMHO.

Depends entirely on the situation.
