I suppose the bracelet should come with instructions for polite rejection, like saying, "Why thank you, but no" and polite responses to rejection like, "Have a nice day." Doesn't need to be awkward or make either party feel bad. What if a man saw two women, both wearing bracelets and in hearing distance of each other, and only approached one?
I'd like it if there were a "No, not available" bracelet. That would be clearer.
And then people can just swap bracelets really fast when they see someone they like/don't like...

Double sided bracelets?
Time to go into business as a competitor, assuming no patents or trademarks.
Isn't this essentially what the claddaugh rings have been worn as? I always thought if the heart was facing away, they were available, if it was facing towards them, their heart was taken.

I have one of those. It's called a wedding ring. Still doesn't always work!
Most of the fear of rejection, in my view, is NOT about being dismissed on account of presenting a bad suit (being unattractive, boring, speaking inarticulately, smelling badly, etc.) but in potentially intruding upon the space of a person who is either already in a relationship, or who does not wish to enter into one. Cold-approach is crude because it violates personal space. It’s crude and uncouth for the same reason that a stock-broker cold-calling potential clients is crude and uncouth. Maybe those persons whom he is called really do have spare money to invest and really are looking for financial advice, but to disturb their privacy is, well, boorish and intrusive. But what if investors were walking around with a sign that said, “I have money sitting in a savings-account earning 0% interest. Tell me about your family of mutual funds!” Then a cold-call by a stock broker would be perfectly acceptable.
I have no qualms over being summarily dismissed by a woman who does not find me to be attractive. I definitely have qualms over annoying a woman who does not wish to be annoyed.
So whereas a $9 bracelet is corny and the presentation is jejune, and sounds like the standard American pop-culture business hustle, the underlying idea is perfectly valid.
I'd feel kinda lame wearing it, and also what's when you've been wearing it for a long time, it's kind of like having outdated condoms...
let's say i'd wear one for as long as I'm sexually active but not in a relationship,
is'nt it kinda odd to wear one of them for like 7 years as it would be in my case, I'd feel kinda embarrassed letting everyone around me know I can't get any women.
