What if they offered you the job?! They'd know as soon as you filled out and turned in your insurance paperwork that you're not really married. I know what you mean about some companies thinking you're more stable and mature if you're married, though.

Rather than for dating purposes or dating avoidance, I've often wondered about wearing one if I ever had a job interview. Some people in some types of organizations don't like single people, so it would be interesting to see how they acted if one wore a wedding band. On the other hand, if they're that uptight, maybe one doesn't need to work with them.
I know people who have tried the technique and also who have had their real engagement rings/wedding bands on. There are just some people it won't stop.
Like these guys I knew used to say, "Just because there's a goalie don't mean you can't score!" Yeesh.
Yup-yup, I typically do. But it works the opposite for me, I get way more men hitting on me than not when I wear it. Now that I decided to not date for the now, I have taken it off.
To keep people from making advances on you? Any success? I'm not really in the market for a woman right now, so I figure the best way to keep them away is to carry my Bible around and wear a ring.
LOL I dont know why i found this funny. I think the wedding ring would keep women away more than the Bible. If I saw someone walking around with a Bible, its not a turn off lol. I wear my promise rings when Im going to bars (they look like an engaement ring and a wedding band) and it doesnt stop people from hitting on me but it justifies my response. Sometimes when you tell a guy you have a boyfriend they dont care
I don't wanna be creepy are stinky to ward off women. I just wanna be that nice guy that is committed elsewhere (even though he really isn't) so there is no tension that develops if I befriend a person of the opposite sex.
I was just joking. But you're fooling yourselve that there won't be any tension if you are perceived [or actually are] commited elsewhere. What if this person is THE ONE - because you know alot of times you aren't looking and find THE ONE and I'm speaking from my experiences.
Don't bother - it seems women these days are much more interested in men that are actually wearing wedding rings.
