Fake wedding ring on ring finger

[Jim01Participant 6678]

I think keyMaster mentioned doing this a while ago; I am pretty fed up of getting the “when are you getting married” or worse the looks I get from some women that I must be some kind of creep for 30 and not hitched up. Had experience of this recently where a 5/10 max who thought she was a 9 looked massively awkward around me for no reason and when walking in front of me had that “I’ll pull down my dress because he is perving” action when I actually wasn’t.

Thinking of picking myself up a cheap ring as it will kill both of those reactions dead. I will be job hunting in the new year and thinking when I get a new job I will be amongst new people so it won’t be questioned if I have one on. Anyone else ever done this or thought about this? Or am I going overkill?

Also does anyone know how to put a pic on my avatar? I used to have one but there was a switch over a while back it got wiped and I’m not sure how to get it back

I think you are going overboard. I prefer the “grow a beard and long hair” approach(i.e. who gives a s~~~). Nothing is better than being free, doing what you want to do, and feeling good about yourself the way you are.

thanks – got it uploaded

and yeah you are right but I think when I move jobs in the new year I am going to consider getting one. Unfortunately being in an office based job(Hell on Earth) I am surrounded by women all of the time so can’t do the beard, baggy shirt stuff

Why not!? Wimmin wear what the f~~~ they want to the office/work.

oh yeah I know – at the height of summer they wear next to nothing and then moan at me for putting on the air conditioning when I am stuck in a shirt and tie and baking hot

Let them think what they like would be my approach. Who cares what happens in the mind of a narcissist? Just chuckle to yourself and get on with life. Would a lion care for the thoughts of an insect?

I’d be more worried about the fake ring attracting crazy homewreckers into my life. As for employers, here in the States background checks are quite common so that would not work here.

ha ha yeah it will probably have the opposite effect to the one I want and they will be hanging around me!

that sort of thing is fine over here as they don’t check that. Definitely something I am considering although I doubt I will bother

You could always dupe stupid broads at the local bar to think you are in a loveless marriage and are thinking of cheating on your wife.

I imagine a lot of these women’s heads would explode due to the ego boost hearing you say that would cause.

All fun in games of course. 😉

If people are so brainwashed into behaving a certain way when around a guy with a wedding ring on then troll em’ for your own amusement.

It would worry me how it would look if people think you’re married, then later discover that you aren’t. The rumour mill gets to work, next thing you know you’re a branded a paedophile or something. I think regular people just aren’t able to grasp the reasoning behind men wanting to be left the f~~~ alone, it doesn’t fit within their narrow world view.

[SnakeSpectator 2080]

You know, when I saw the title of the thread, I thought you were going to talk about women wearing fake rings. I see these ugly dumplings strutting around the mall with a ring with a big rock on it, and I am thinking “Who are they fooling?” What guy is going to blow that much money on your fat narcissistic ass(I could be wrong; please Lord let me be wrong. f~~~ing sad blue-pill men). The amount of mediocre women I saw with large engagement rings made me think this must be some female hierarchy s~~~, like “my ring is bigger than yours”.

At most jobs, they’ll berate you for wanting to wear something more comfortable because it’s “unprofessional.” For them, it’s “classy.” I never understood that concept.

I remember one of my former employers wanted us to wear a button-up shirt with the company emblem on it on top of whatever we wore (if it was, say, a polo or dress t-shirt of some kind or something). Several of the female co-workers would wear it mostly unbuttoned, so I followed suit and did the same. I was criticized by one of the office managers for “not dressing professionally.” When I told her “these women here are doing it, though”, she told me “well, see, they’re women…they need to be more comfortable in their work environment. Since you’re a man, you need to look more professional.”

That about sums it up right there.

I remember once getting criticized here at my current office desk job for wearing jeans to work…even though it was actually one of my favorite grey slacks. She told me days after I wore them, which is why I didn’t have as much defense. Luckily, my manager at the time said she knew I didn’t wear anything like that. The stuff worn here sometimes though is borderline questionable for a university. If I’m supposed to dress up decently and cover up in expensive clothes, why shouldn’t they? It annoys me to no end when they come in wearing those yoga pants that are made to look like slacks. I know those are supposed to be “harder to tell that they’re not professional pants” because my ex had them and would wear them to work and get away with it. I can tell the difference quite easily now. ESPECIALLY the ones that look like jeans.

Anyway…as for the wedding ring thing, I either get talked to MORE or I get asked when they’ll meet the lady I’m engaged to…things like that. Never worked for me.

While I was married I had more women approach me once I was married than when I was single. The reasons varied from acceptance because someone chose to marry me so I must be “safe” all the way to women who were complete whores and wanted to see if they could lure me to their plantation for awhile. Bottom line, solving one problem by creating another isn’t really solving anything. In my opinion the ring may be a bad idea.

Hey Chauv,

Being peripherally involved in the hiring process, I’m fairly certain it’s illegal to discriminate based on marital status. Therefore it would be illegal to screen for it in a background check. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen anyway.

Can any lawyer types out there confirm?

I agree. A stratagem based on maintaining a false image of yourself will prove more trouble than just plain telling the bald truth, with a sugar coating of tact and polite language of course.

There is a delightful movie About A Boy in which our hero inveigled himself into a single mother’s group posing as a single father. Net result: He ended up unbelievably entangled in relations~~~s.

Full disclosure: I like that flick and rewatch it every few years. Check it out at http://www.amazon.com/About-Boy-Widescreen-Hugh-Grant/dp/B00005JL7Q/ Used copies are cheap, and it’s bound to be on some late-nite cable movie channel sooner or later.

Spock and the others are correct when they say wearing a fake wedding ring at the office is very bad solution to a very minor problem.

Thanks to all the government mandated paperwork HR will have fill out, people at work will know you’re not really married. And by people, I mean women. Remember, HR departments are staffed by almost exclusively women because the “work” HR “performs” is almost exclusively government mandated busy work. When you fill out your W-2, health care info, etc. stating you’re single and then begin wearing a wedding ring, a conversation like this will occur at your new job:

Nosy Old C~~~: “Mr. New Guy seems nice. Shame he’s married.”
Old HR C~~~: “Married? He didn’t state so on his paperwork!”
Nosy Old C~~~: “Well he’s wearing a wedding ring.”
Old HR C~~~: “I’ll have to look into this. He obviously lied on his paperwork!”

Congratulations. You gave them an excuse to crawl up your ass with a microscope. Just the thing to solve your problems with their inquisitiveness, right?

I used a fake wedding band several years ago while on business trips. While it stopped some questions, it raised others. The idea definitely wasn’t worth the effort.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

Yep. Having a wedding ring would make him more attractive. Some women will line up to have sex with a married man just to brag about being evil.

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

Hell, I’m more of the opinion single men are first ones sent packing out the door all other things being equal. I’ve got no qualms about breaking the laws of man if they are stupid ones. I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks that way.

You’d freak on how effective this particular stunt is. I have a friend that plays it quite well. Too bad he ended up sticking his dick in crazy recently and is now stuck in it. I’ve often thought about trying it as an experiment, but I’m leery of women and know attracting more can only bring me more trouble.

[AncientwisdomParticipant 6089]

What country are you in that being 30 and not married is raising eyebrows? Im mid 30s and every guy I know my age, including work, isnt married and most never been married.

Wearing a fake wedding ring is tantamount to using a cannon to kill a mosqueto. Im honest to a fualt, and it has probably caused me problems because Im too transparent. They say the secret to lying is to lie as little as possible; on minor issues. But your creating charlottes f~~~ing web. Your going to lie about an entire LIFE: being married to someone when your single? How do you plan on keeping that charade up?

I would rather suffer the fall out of peoples negative opinions of me being single while I maintain my dignity and speak the truth then EITHER:

– try and sleep at night knowing I have lied to everyone about my life because I feel the truth of my life is “unbearable”

OR

– suffer the consequences of perpetuating such a perverse lie to begin with.

Resident cynic.

Same here too.

I caught flack in my thirties too. Being in my late 40s nobody even gives a f~~~ that I’m single. The best part is that no one bothers trying to fix me up with blind dates anymore. I’m reaching for the eye bleach even allowing those memories to surface. Must suppress………..
