This reminded me of something that happened to an old coworker of mine. She was a hostess at a restaurant and obviously pregnant. As this guy was leaving he asked if he could take her out some time. She put her hand up and said, "no thanks, I'm married." He replied with his hand up, "it's okay, I am too."
Some people are just pigs. You just have to say no thank you and walk away.

The fact that I'm saying "back off" should be what holds weight, not the caveat of "because I'm married." It doesn't matter. I said back off.
This exactly. It doesn't matter if you're married or not. You only need to say "I'm not interested in you" and leave it at that. The reason why you're not interested is none of the other person's business. Just saying "I'm married" to some leaves an opportunity open and can be seen as a challenge.
Because the marriage is between those two people, and not the third party. People cheat, married or not, and thus people still try 'cause sometimes they succeed.
Personally, it seems I've been flirted with more when I had the ring on vs off. One woman actually took my ring off and told me 'right now, you're not'.
Wearing the ring or other type of commitment symbol but when saying I am married, some men (and I assume some women but I don't attract too much lesbians)
does not stop flirting or hitting on but continues it.
Why being married is not a fine reason to leave a person alone? "No thanks, I am married" and some men still goes on.
Could we start a new international style and believe if a married person says no thanks, I am married.
Why people don't honor other peoples marriages?
All depends how you deliver the message - if you are firm enough, they will back off. You just need to say "I am married and not interested", then turn around and go on with your business. Don't explain anything, don't smile or such. Your body language must support your statement.
Completely ignore that person. He will get the message...
I am a 46 year old dude...and I ALWAYS have a wedding band on
And it is scary how many married women flirt with me, more so than single...as if THEIR being ,married makes it ok
I am not a stud or anything special...maybe slightly better than average looking for my age, 10-15 lbs over weight but athletic...nothing special...I cant imagine the really studly married guys and all the a$$ that is flung at them

You LET her take your ring off?
