Umm......not quite. I don't know who came up with this nonsense or how it found it's way into society but whoever it was they were flat out lying.
I've been married for 3 years now and have yet to be hit on by a woman. Not only do they not hit on me but as soon as soon as they see the ring they promptly turn and run away.
Of course this happened when I was single too so maybe it's not the ring
Anyway, what do you think......does this fallacy hold any weight?
There are some women (and men) who seem to be attracted to people who are unavailable. But I wouldn't say that is the norm. When my husband and I were long distance from different countries, before we were married, I think some women didn't take our relationship seriously (I guess they thought it wouldn't last with the distance) because there were three different women after him at one time. It wasn't until we moved in together that they finally stopped chasing him - I think they finally realized he really did love me and was serious about me. And since we've been married, there's definitely not been anyone showing interest in him.
But for those people of either gender who have a habit of being attracted to the unavailable, it's probably really unhealthy and only leads to heartache.
Nothing is more of a turn off than desperation. Someone already in a relationship doesn't give off desperate vibes. That's the only thing I can think of but most women will move on when they see the ring.

It really depends on the environment. It's likely to happen at a club or a bar. It can happen at work if you are around someone often enough. But yes, it does happen. To some women, the sexiest thing about a man is his wife. Sad, but true.

FWIW, I never had a problem with women hitting on me while I was married (ie. it didn't happen, and i wore a wedding band 24/7).. At the risk of sounding over-confident, there have been times since i've been single that i've nearly had to beat them away with a stick!
thus.. I've heard this theory before, but IME, it's a crock.

I agree. If you don't frequent the types of places that these women do, then it's not likely to happen to you.
