Thread: Wearing a false wedding ring?

Ever seen what happens when a single dude enters an office environment?

It's like a scene from Enemy of The State.

"This is Female Security Agency HQ.
Seal off the block! Make a perimeter and re-task a satellite, ASAP. Central FSA, copy we show an escapee off the grid in killbox zero-two. Intel says he's single and makes over 30K per year.....we CANNOT let this one escape!"

Yeah, no thanks.

To avoid such theatrics I've told my coworkers I'm about to be engaged. While this cover story has already saved my neck from the financial predations of at least one woman, its occurred to me I can't stay in limbo forever. She-or someone else -will ask questions if over time it seems I'm still 'engaged'.

Hence the use of a prop-a false wedding ring. Will such a thing accomplish the goal of keeping the female search radar off me ,or will it instead be a pre-selection jumbotron flashing "Try Harder"?

Oddly enough it will keep the halfway-decent ones off you. The ones that perform an approach? Trashy at best.

So think of it as a pre-selection skank filter.

If she'll do it for you; she'll do it to you.

Octavian, dude - if you want women to avoid you, cultivate a physical weakness. Women despise weakness. Soak your feet in sugary milk and complain to everyone about foot fungus. After that first time you take the socks off, none of 'em will come near you. Take laxatives and develop IBS with bloating. Put a stone in one of your shoes and cultivate a limp. Whine about your headaches and seek sympathy. Grow a kidney stone, or a gallstone. Mention albumin in the urine.

Whatever it is, just be sure to keep it unsexy.

I like your style. Let them think it's their idea to avoid you. I bet just saying you have a fungus would do it. Then fart around them.

Just keep the ring on forever. No need to become a stinky ass to bat women away. My favorite excuse when a 1-night stand would come by unannounced was that "oh, I have a live-in girlfriend now. She is wicked violent. A crazy jealous type."

Those women never bothered me again.

You don't have to become Captain Fart Foot to scare women off. (That's why the slang for female private parts is called "PUSSIES!"...."Oooo...YEEKS....a SPIDER!....") But if lesser yet almost as extreme as I spontaneously was, it could work.

"I'm very allergic to cats." Try that.

Ask women for help all the time. They might do something for you once in a while, but over time they will give up on you lol.

Feign insolvency. Make any motions required to indicate that you are poor or in debt or both. In my case, I buy t-shirts at Walmart and then proudly announce how low cost they are. I wear runners that have holes in them if I am out without the girlfriend. Of course the practiced eye notices that I wear 2300$ Tag as a daily driver but most women lack that level of sophistication. My phone is an old note 3 which has cosmetic damage to the sides which is again something everyone notices.

These things are so because they are meant to be noticed. They're meant to decrease your perceived SMV.

Since I'm new here (new-ish), can anyone tell me why a "piss off" or even a polite "stop/not interested/whatever" isn't an option?

Ahh my naive friend, the higher your SMV, the more misery will come out of declining vagina. Of course this only applies when you are stuck with these women. For ex: work with them (same building), work out in the same gym, live in the same building, park in the same parking lot, shop in the same grocery store, etc. I have personally been stalked around the office building by a woman for 6 months. Chicks have followed me around the grocery store, when I was there WITH my girlfriend. Chicks have made every attempt to "work in" with me at the gym when I was there with the girlfriend. Bitches as they say, be cray.

Women like disinterested men.

Translated through the hypergamy-o-meter , "fuck off" means "try harder" to women.

When they push harder and you honestly reject them, then the hamster turns feral and insurance companies begin to weep.

Well, everybody at work here knows I am a contrarian and that since my divorce I've gone from purple pill to total red pill - but they don't know what either really is. Nobody suggests hook-ups for me, and there are few females here and all are married or in long term relationships.

If a person is adequately "private" in their affairs at work, a simple "I am flattered, but I don't pursue relationships with colleagues or their friends and family."

Put a picture of a different woman on your desk every 3 months. Go from black, to Asian, to Hispanic, to Swedish... If asked "Heeeeey! Who is that!?" smile and say "It's complicated!"

The bottom line is that you owe nobody at work ANY explanation at all about your private life. You could wear leather and a gimp mask and whip your friends in a dungeon all weekend. Or you could be a religious-right church leader lobbing red-paint water balloons at abortion clinics. Or any shade of lifestyle in between. And it's nobody's f*cking business - especially at work.

I've worked at bigger companies and trust me - the lower your profile is the better. If promotion and upward mobility is your gig, you don't need to be social butterfly with the masses at work - you just need the two or three people who are looking for talent with management potential to notice you taking charge and getting shit done.

That's you walk the thin red line of "being proactive and getting it done" with "undermining the authority of your direct supervisor".

But that's a whole other discussion!

Ah. That explains that one girl on skype. Bit more pathetic than Octavian's Raven though. You've read my intro, no doubt. You know I don't play toil n' bubble with women. If I don't like them, me telling them to scram isn't a neg or any of that Mystery nonsense. It really means "piss off; I don't like you". But it seems like when you tell them to get lost, they keep trying. It's honestly annoying! I. Don't. Like. You. GO! Am I not speaking English? Damn.

Like I care about their feelings. The way I see it: I'm an asshole, but I'm fair and honest. If I don't want to be around you, it's likely your fault, as I can get along with all types of people. This changes by the day, but for the most part, meh. So . . . what the hell? If you're unhealthy for me, no amount of sex or attention is going to make you pleasant to be around. If we're at work and you're skanking up to me, there is a problem with you mentally. Which means what? You're not for me. I don't see what kind of creature wants or likes one who doesn't want them. With me, I encourage people who don't want to be around me to say something, then I delete them from my life and move on.

Matter fact, let me ask you lot a question. This is for the number of you who still date and copulate. Do you know of a way to make yourself unappealing to . . . those types, but appealing to the few who are actually okay to have in your life? Curious.

For me the biggest - and most beneficial part - of being a contrarian-and-non-conformist-gone-MGTOW is giving ZERO FUCKS about what any group, any person, any organization or ESPECIALLY any one single woman things of me.

I'm not asking for me. I don't do pick-up stuff. It's interesting to WATCH, but that's it. Watch. Because I study humans and the human experience in this universe/simulation. Since there are men here who DO that stuff, I figure they have some kind of method for weeding out the super toxic ones and finding the average toxic to not-so-toxic/diet toxic ones. You see my point?

There isn't. I've experimented across the board. My current girlfriend was what I consider my last kick at the can. She is a very plain woman and even she has a mean streak to her. I've dated quite a bit in my life. I'd say an average of 4 women a week at times during my 20s. I've done the long term, short term and even sleep around scene. Dated older in my teenage to mid 20's, younger from then on. The best times were when I used to be a bouncer. Nothing gets you numbers quite like that.

The only way to deal with women is to say, "here's how I want it. Stay if you will or leave, I give no fucks either way." Anything else will get you fucked over in the hardest way possible. And I say that from experience. I don't put any stock in love anymore. It's just an exercise in spending a bit of time with someone whose company is preferable to complete silence.

Keep that false wedding ring on. But remember to invent stories too. They may start questioning you about your family life. How is the wife? When will you have kids? etc. Remeber what you say to them so as not to say anything that is the opposite of what you said even before. You would be suprised how women can remember one's love and family life.

Most men seek out the best looking / thinnest woman who will fuck them and then assess how psychotic they are AFTERWARDS.
Some men will date and even marry a totally psychotic woman just to meet the needs of his biological imperative or ego.
Or may his ego is just part of his biological imperative by design...

Without the male ego would competition even need to exist?

The problem I have with wearing a wedding ring as a deterrent is that it is really an investment towards these women and you are moving yourself deeper into inauthenticity and you have to keep this charade going. As others have said, eventually come the questions about your marital situation. How many kids? What does your wife do? The energy you expend to devise answers and maintain the charade might be better spent towards a more authentic defense.

You've read the stories of women who fake pregnancies and her charade gets out of her control? Have you ever wondered what drives women to even think to try something like that? How similar to their thinking is the pressure you are under to put on a wedding ring?

I've told people that I'm done with all that and I left it at that. It worked. I learned how to ignore people. I learned how to stare right through people who were flirting with me, like I didn't get it. Like a Gomer Pyle, maybe, but without the goofiness.

There's also the possibility that your benefits department will notice your marital status for insurance coverage showing something different than what everybody believes, and then management has to investigate for fraud. Who needs that?

A wise person once told me, the way out is always through.

My usual approach is assholerly/no nonsense. That usually gets the job done. However, I also feign low self-esteem. We know that only women suffer from self-esteem issues. So when a man does it, he has something wrong with him/he is weak. Thus they are disgusted, thus they write you off. Their ego remains intact and your chequebook is still in use. Of course, I am definitely an advocate of the "piss off" or young professional approach. My low self-esteem feign has worked before. Like a charm, really. The girl literally never looked in my direction ever again. Doesn't always work though. I tried that with a hamplanet and she was still looking for me to chase and seduce her.
