In my experience as someone with a real ring, not really. A lot of the younger guys don’t even think to look. It does however make it much more difficult for them to accuse you of lying if you are sporting a ring though.
Has a guy or even a girl accused you of lying that your engaged/married?
I wear my engagement ring all the time and still sometimes men don’t bother to notice if I’m married or not. best way is to be straight forward and say I’m married/engaged and not interested.

From what I noticed women who wear fake wedding rings do so to keep the wolves away and in most cases it does but there are always those who just don't give a damn it class or respect or moral decency to respect her status and try to hit on her at way, I must say in my view a man who knowingly messes get involved with a married woman or one in a serious relationship is one of lowest, weather she's willing to cheat with you didn't mean you jump on it is well in my view morally wrong and not how a man should behave me know she's married or involved, I tell her to go home, work it out with her man, I would want same from another dude if my wife or girlfriend and i had a argument and she went out and was in that situation,
This is a weird one. And I have my own personal experience with it from When are you was a young man living in a pre-Juliani Manhattan. I had on a whim just started wearing a gold ring that I inherited from my grandfather who had recently died on my left hand because that's where it fit. Strangely enough I was immediately, literally within minutes, hit on by apparently available women. It was such a surprise. Took me a while to figure out the dynamic behind it. But it's really simple, A married man is less likely to try to turn a quickie little dalliance into a perfect romance.
I don't pay attention to the meaning of jewelry, because it is meaningless to me. If you're wearing a ring and you expect me to determine which finger you choose to put it on that day and extract meaning from it, well that's a bad judgement call by you. When I see a pretty woman, I'm not checking out her fingers unless they were blown off by a landmine or caught in a wood chipper... I don't value jewelry so it's not something I will notice at all unless you are wearing a lot of it. If you are laden with jewels I'd just think you were a moron, and be like I don't want to talk to stupid people so I'll steer clear of that one.
It will probably keep the good guys away the guys that are the ones you want to marry but the losers won’t give a shit only reason I would think you’d want to keep guys from hitting on you is if you’re in a serious relationship otherwise you might missed out on the perfect guy for you of course common sense would tell you this so you either don’t have any common sense or you’re asking this question for another reason because you can get a fake ring for next to nothing I’m guessing you’re in a serious relationship and are wanting to give your SO a nudge into getting you a real one if that’s the case then get a big fake ring so it will send a message not only for him to make it official but that he better come for real something with some weight
I sold them to young women like you for years based on that theory. It used to work. Now since no one has morals, deny God's existence , and deny Hell, it doesn't.
By the way , it is the opposite with men. If single men wears a wedding band , he actually gets more interest from women. The theory is that women like commitment. So they think this is a guy that will commit to me if he committed to someone else. They don't consider that if he leaves his wife for her that would not be to committed. I never understood women's emotional logic. They think the man that left another for them would never leave them for another woman.
it's not base on commitment. Women want what other women have. It's why women often chase fuck boys. And it is also why men lie about being virgins and make up the number of women they have slept with.
A guy having a wedding ring shows that for very least some woman find he is worthy to latch herself onto him which means he has some value. A guy without a wedding ring has no social proof from other girls that he is worth being latched onto and therefore must prove he has some value base on his social media presence, amount of women willing to go out with him and level of looks.
To keep the good guys away. At least you’ll know that every guy who hits on you is scum. Although you’ll need to put the ring on the correct hand. Also most good guys don’t go around hitting on strangers out of the blue. So, it’s not much of a filter for that aspect.
Well... it won't.
Most will say they can get you a "better" ring, and/or you "deserve" better. Making shit all the more awkward.
Instead of playing silly games, just grow a pair of cojones bigger than them and learn to say "no" instead.
I guess. I don't know.
It must be nice to have so much attention from the opposite sex that you are trying to find ways to become invisible.
I'm sure the girls that never get any attention or get asked out must love listening to your complaints.
Yes, but if a girl had a ring on for that reason, and then said she likes me, and that the ring is just to fend off creeps, I wouldn't believe her. I'd think she's actually married, and just wants to cheat, so I'd ignore her. So if you do want a guy, but are just trying to weed out creeps, be careful about your tactics.
Are you asking us this because you really want to know if it'll work? Which by the way, is not a new idea or new thing women have tried before. Or are you asking because you really just want us to know that guys are hitting on you?
It works for the guys that care and are looking for a long term relationship, if they are hitting you up hoping to get some, they won't care if your married or not cause they just want some and don't care.
It would work for me because I don’t intend to hit on someone who’s in a happily committed relationship.
Yes, my friend does that 😂 She has a ring that she usually wears on her middle finger, but when guys keep hitting on her she just replace it on the ring finger and when they see a ring, they back off 😂
I've heard of women who do this but also at formal events where elderly women who would otherwise be tempted to have a conversation with you about their grandson. A fake wedding ring avoids that awkwardness.
Let's break this question down some. If we are talking about hangouts and places like bars NO. If we are talking about Church YES. Do you have any idea the number of married women that cheat? 30+ years ago I would say maybe. Today, NO it generally won't work in fact there are many men that prey on married women taking bedding them as a challenge. Ladies, if you don't want to be hit on, go in a group or with a man. Otherwise stay long enough somebody is going to hit on you!
Never worked for me. I tried it when I was 18 or so. Even when I was working, I still got hit on all the time. Luckily, it was usually just flirting and not really outright asking me out/asking for my number.
I know a woman who in her 20's wore a wedding ring on purpose, she said more guys hit on her than without it. She also mentioned that most of them hitting on her were older married guys, and she was into older married guys who had money.
doesn't seem to keep women away from me. I even make it a point to play with my ring or talk about my family to make it obvious. Yet I've had single and married women give me their numbers anyway, without asking.
I never look at rings or anything. Women just wear jewelry, so it's not an indication of anything. I only look at attention, women getting men's attention is unattractive anyway, so if she's got guys talking to her then I don't bother.
So I think a fake ring would just make some guys give up, but give space for other guys.
Just to note: Please don't wear a ring if you're squatting at gym, degloving is a risk (Please DON'T Google this is you're sensitive or eating currently)
YES!! It does. I used this trick since I was 16. I still use this trick, even if it isn’t a diamond ring, it still does help avoid guys hitting or talking to me.
Well..
Fake ring Works for men to get hit on.. 😂🤣
Also yeah.. But remember get a girl from 1 guy is easy than getting her from 10 guys..
So I personally hit on a girl when she is wearing a ring..
I've been thinking of doing this myself at work. I have a boyfriend but people still get the hint. My oldest sister did this on holiday once and it worked pretty well.
it may not stop them all, but it will probably stop the vast majority.
And you may want to wear it on your left hand if that picture is you.
Wearing on the right says you are divorced, kept the ring and are available.
That "trick" has been used for decades. Yes, it will help most of the time. Some guys, though, won't even notice, and if they find you attractive, some guys won't even care that you're wearing a ring.
I was never successful with this method. What ended up happening is scumbags still hit on me, while decent guys stayed away to respect me 😕
Well, that's one way to sort the undesirables out 😗
I don't ever look at anyone's hands at all. I don't know how many other guys are like me. It just wouldn't occur to me to ever look at a hand.
But I never talk to anyone anyway, so I guess it's irrelevant.
A ring will only stop decent people from hitting on someone. The immoral people will still hit on them.
It might work on some guys. But, if one guy is really desperate, he won't care. My opinion of course... Hope it works out for you 👍🏻
No any guy that see you is going to fall in love no matter what
Guys if they wanna hit on you. They don’t give a F they just wanna bang you,
And trust me more and more and men are giving in women. Only matter of time where men give up in women all together.
Maybe you wear a tshirt i am gay that would be much better solution than the ring and also less expensive
Yes, it should work, speaking of rings, If I was porn and a woman is fingering herself and wearing a ring it's a complete turn off for me
I’m sure for a lot of guys it wouldn’t stop them or they wouldn’t notice
I’ve been in a relationship for several years, always wear a ring and I still get hit on.
Never tried it but I suspect it won't make any difference
Dressing modestly and wearing a ring cuts down a lot
Women cheat on their fiances and husbands, so having a ring on doesn't mean you couldn't be had.
being fake is being fake no matter how you go about it. justify it however you like but it is still being fake... You are not being the real you...
I knew a girl that did this. She claimed it worked.
It works even for the guys to avoid female attention but mine is technically real, well it is actually gold and probably came from a divorce
women were attracted to me more when I wore a wedding band
It might work but some men are so persistent that it doesn't matter whether you have a ring or tell them that you're a lesbian - they hit on you anyway.
Men will check for it for sure. Decent or not
, most guys would like to avoid approaching taken women.
Without the universal ring trick, there is no real way of telling who is who.
Most men today have no morals and will still actively pursue a married women if they think they can get away with the affair.
A bit of a stretch don’t you think? But hey if you want to go that far suit yourself.
I've heard of women doing that. I'm sure it provides some cover.
It will keep the decent ones away. The jerky ones probably either won’t notice, or won’t care.
It will work about as well as a wedding ring on a man.
I think that works for most women but there are always guys who either won't see the ring or will see it and not care. It's not foolproof.
Doubt it. I wouldn't even notice a ring, and even if I did, I wouldn't even associate it with her being married and just think it's jewelry.
Not over doing make up gets you unnoticed. Not wearing yoga pants everywhere but in a gym or yoga club gets you less noticed not being at a place of hooking up like a club or a bar gets you unnoticed.
Nah girls cheat all the time now. Marriage is dead and they killed it. So give em what they want I say. Her husband can clean up the leftovers.
If you make it obvious that you're wearing one then sure.
No, because lots of guys like to hit on married girls.
It won't stop them from hitting on you initially, but they might stop once they notice the ring.
Nope. They don’t care if you are married or not. They have no shame
Probably a little, unless it's easy to tell it's fake. Nice mani... are those real?
It's not counter productive like with women, it's just useless.
But it's not the reason why you are wearing it, is it?
Yea I remember random woman tell me she just wear fake ring to weed men out but I wonder why she tell me? Is she into me or just being nice?
I don't notice those things. if I see a beautiful women who deserves a compliment it won't stop me married or not.
Why not get a real one instead of a fake one? Get engaged/married to someone for real!
