EricW Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I'm sick of women who are in "committed" relationships but have no ring. The seem interested. They're flirty. You ask them out. Then they throw a little hissy fit because somehow, you were supposed to telepathically know that they were in a relationship. What's equally annoying is single women who wear a ring but aren't married, but think you're supposed to "just know" that the ring is really grandma's ring. A year down the road, they're dating someone else, but feel jilted you never asked them because you respected the symbol of the union. My request to the women of America: If you're in a committed relationship, make your lazy boyfriend buy you a ring. Wear the ring. Then men will know not to ask you out. If you're not in a committed relationship and are wondering why nobody asks you out, take the damned ring off your ring finger and wear it elsewhere. Then men will know. If Uri Geller was actually telepathic, I doubt even he could figure this crap out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasag93 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I have found that if you be forward and just ask they will tell you. If they are in a serious relationship, they shouldn't be acting intersted and flirting anyway. But... we are talking about women here. I have noticed that no matter how committed they are...when the cat is away the mouse will play. I don't know why, I have just seen it countless times.

AikiDale Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 "[Devil's Advocate Mode] OK. Honesty and Integrity are both really wunderbar. But...what's the point? Where in today's society are either rewarded? I have NEVER seen an honest man or woman rewarded in my entire working career. (I sh*t you not. I have NEVER, EVER, seen anyone advance their career by solely by virtue of telling the truth and not cheating anyone.) It was pretty rare in the educational system as well. Which begs the question: Why bother?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liota Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Eric, I don't wear a ring and haven't for about three years. Wakal's and my life doesn't support it. If you ask, a woman will tell you or at least give you an indicator. As far as the flirting goes...all bets are off. I still flirt horribly, but the guys know I am both married and kidding.

SiG Lady Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 "I have noticed that no matter how committed they are...when the cat is away the mouse will play." Now, THAT one works both ways in case no one's noticed!! I have two hefty little legacy diamond rings (yes, from grandmothers) and they're worn on my RIGHT hand... just to be safe. No, I'm not married and not interested in pretending I am. The rings are decorations not declarations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasag93 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Tightloop, not saying that you are old, but older than I and this is something I have seen in the 20-30 yrs. old range. I am still single and socialize with this group frequently. It is my understanding that we are talking about women in serious relationships, not marrried? Is this correct? To me there is committed and there is married. I take either very seriously, but marriage is a whole new ball game. So, if we are talking non-married women, I find that many will flirt and "act interested". To the point in many cases you wouldn't know they had a significant other of any kind. Maybe it is just the local college women and it is an isolated incident? Who knows. We are still talking about women and they are all different and still strange to me. Will never understand them.

tightloop Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I take no offense at being older than you, or you reminding me of that fact. Women are strange and wonderful creatures, and yes, you are correct that men, as mear mortals will never completely understand them. We can only give it our best effort, seek undestanding from all sources available to us, and love them with all our hearts. I have only today been reminded how little we do know about them... I have been trying to figure them out for my entire adult life and am an utter failure...but I love them anyway. A romantic at heart, who loves the glance meant only for you, a loving word or soft touch...at that point, does it really matter if we understand them??? Hope you find what you need and are looking for... Tloop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I think I'm going to get an old wedding band at a pawn shop or something and wear it. My plan is to attract chicks who specialize in tempting married guys, or who only find guys attractive if some other woman has them, thus reassuring the woman that the guy is attractive enough to pursue. If that fails, I'm getting a black suit and a roman collar. Chicks dig priests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 TL, I hate to tell you this, but TX is correct. I've been hit on / flat propositioned by a LOT of married women over the years. Including the wives of friends - (which I really hate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric nielsen Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 What finally worked well for me was not even a question, just a statement: Point directly at the woman's ring finger [no ring] and say, "You're not married." Then wait for a response. Different guys will often get different responses from the same woman. But at least he knows where he stands. [usually] OR Point directly at the woman's ring finger [some kind of ring] and state, "Somebody loves you very much." Then wait for a response. See above. Wish I had heard of this ten years sooner. Now I have no use for it... (sound of wife calling me from downstairs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably see ya at the IN State in a couple of weeks. I did shoot with Flex and SA today, but can not report on results as I am trying to only see and acknowledge A's (no more mikes, no-shoots etc.) We DO need to find a match where you, me, 3QT, Big Dave and other forum friends can fill a complete squad.
