woman-ring

(From elev8)

When I see a woman for the first time, there are three things that I immediately look at: her face, her shoes, and her left ring finger — in that order. Overall physique and body type is important, but, I’ll get to that as I move from her face to her shoes and over to her ring finger. Why the ring finger? There’s no use thinking about anything further if her finger is occupied with a wedding (or even engagement) ring, is there?

Lately I’ve noticed that many women wear other types of rings on their left ring finger — the finger where people usually wear a wedding band. However, these rings don’t signify any commitment to another person, something a wedding/engagement ring does, and, in fact, can serve to confuse interested single men.

I have seen this technique used to one’s advantage, though. I have a good female friend who is single and travels about three weeks out of any given month. She’s open to dating, but it’s certainly not her top priority. In order to keep away random guys who try to approach her, — because, believe me, they do (and I can’t blame them) — she wears an engagement ring. It’s a nice one too. Of course, it’s not real, but a man who would approach her in the airport wouldn’t notice — especially since most men don’t have good sense in jewelry and it’s authenticity.

    It shows you’re a loser if you have to buy your own fake wedding ring. This is something a lot of feminist, angry white women were doing, a few years ago. They were buying expensive canary diamond laced fake wedding bands and calling them “promise” rings or something like that, because no one would marry them, so they married themselves? It says desperate, angry and pathetic. How about you change you act, become acceptable, so that someone REAL will actually want to marry you? Just a thought.

    YOU’RE RIGHT………..most men,ESPECIALLY me, don’t know about jewelry or it’s authenticity because WE DONT GIVE A RAT’S A$$ ABOUT JEWELRY OR LOUIS VUTTON OR ANY OF THAT FASHIONISTA BULL$HIT!!!! FUKC HER SHOES THE FIRST THING I LOOK AT IS HER FACE, THEN HER CAR, THEN HER STOMACH!
    eye could give a flying fukc about a ring and whether it’s real or not.

    bottom line, IF SHE LOOKS GOOD, EYE’M GOING TO APPROACH HER!!!!!!!!!!!
    closed mouths……….. you know!

    I disagree w/ the angry brotha below my comment~

    Women don’t always want to be hit on~ and MOST men don’t take “no” for an answer~ so the quickest and easiest way to avoid having the “not interested, but thank you” convo is to have a ring on..

    Men are more inclined to be respectful of the fact that you are”married/in a relationship” serious enough to have a ring, and will fall back.

    I’ve done this on vacations, at the club and sometimes in regular day life. If I am in the mood to put myself out there than the ring comes off…
    it has nothing to do w/ being an angry feminist…it’s really me trying to politely say “get the f*ck otta my face” : )

    actually, a lot of woman do that to ward off advances from men…everyday woman would do that and even though they do get the ring it really doesn’t stop a man that has his thoughts set upon you to stop and turn away…

    For all the women who are irritated by constantly being hit on by men, don’t worry–one day they’ll stop hitting on you.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MiSz_PiNk_DiamOnd/ MiSz_PiNk_DiamOnd

    A simple “no, thank you” should suffice?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    Frenzy_Hunter, I dont think women ever get tired of being ‘hit on’ by men…It’s not the quantity that bothers us, its the LACK of quality…No I’m not bangin on or bashing men at all, but come on fellas, y’all KNOW you hate to be approached by those airheads that have nothing to say and make you wish you could get those minutes of your life back for even saying ‘hello’ initially…

    odoggz… wow@angry “white” women… it has nothing to do w/race or any women being angry…

    i was married (to a black man)… divorce is not final yet, but the actual wedding ring was moved to my right ring finger & left ring finger was replaced w/a ring my mother bought my sister & i (both the same ring, same size) w/3 nice big stones surrounded by lots of smaller ones… to symbolize my mother’s 3 daughters (1 of which passed away 12/93 – RIP Paula).

    they just happen to fit both our left ring fingers best… we’ve both been married & she’s already divorced & i’m about to be… we saw it fitting that we keep our rings size as is. i wear it, b/c i like it (simple as that). don’t want to wait to have it sized…

    but in addition, it does have its benefit… granted plenty of men do NOT care or pay any attention to the “wedding” ring… but my thing is this, either way… when i was young, yes i found it highly flattering being out in public & random men trying to talk to me…

    but now that i’m older & wiser, i do NOT want “random” men “trying” to talk to me… b/c if he hollers at random women now, he will probably continue to do so for a while at least… & any man who i really get to know, through much better means, will probably have conversations w/me over time to find out i am not married or still w/my ex.

    Thanks for sharing this post.. If a women put the ring may be there are chances that now she won’t be irritated anymore but what happen if the guy doesn’t care that she is married or not?
