Using a wedding ring to pick up chicks

No theory, but my experience: recently divorced and getting rid of the ring & ring tan line improved my ability with women 1000000%

However, I go for women mostly in mid 20's, who still think the idea of hooking up with a married guy is skeevy. To the point of some being sketched when they found out I was separated, even though I had my own place and the divorce paperwork was filed.

I've hooked up with some girls in their 30s too, and they were pretty much the same, except more accepting of the separation deal. A few were off put by the recent divorce, since they knew I'd be playing the field for awhile.

The other reason I don't use it is that I run exceedingly honest game. I tell women that I'm not looking for an exclusive relationship, and I answer most of their questions. It works for me, to the point where I can have 3 regular partners at one time. Using a prop like a wedding ring would upset that balance.

Maybe it will work with women in their 40's, but in my target demographic, in my experience, it is a game killer.

upvoted the thread. I don't think it's effective, but I think it is a good discussion to have. I think there is too much petty downvoting in Seddit.

I'd think the amount of gals that would be turned off by the idea that you were a cheating husband would outnumber the ones that would be turned on.

I've been hit on a few times while out (I'm married) but I'll tell you this, the gals hitting on me because I'm married are basically what I would equate to bar flies.

I'm not married but I wear a ring that happens to look like a wedding ring. I wear it in my right hand and I've had mostly positive experiences. I don't wear it to pickup girls but it's a conversation starter and a DHV. They almost always ask me about it. Usually I simply say I'm not married, it's just a ring. Sometimes I evade the question and change subject. This can be really fun if done well. Sometimes I say I'm married and got 5 kids, etc. And then sometimes I'll change fingers to avoid questions. I'm still experimenting with it.

For what's worth, I'm in Japan. Your mileage may vary.

I used to work with two different men, one put a wedding ring on to pick up chicks and the other took his off to do the same thing. When I was married I almost felt like it definitely felt different as if it had some kind of psychological/symbolic power. What I'm getting at: it's all about state of mind.

I asked my girlfriend about this subject the other day as we were looking at engagement rings and she said that at least for her, she is more receptive talking to a married man because she assumes that his intentions are not immediately to get in her pants, but if he would to try hitting on her, her repulsion to him would be much worse then a normal guy

Well, my buddy had a ring trick that he would use to moderate success. He would walk around the room and keep introducing himself to the women in the room and would 'propose' to them at some point in the conversation and would give then a little 25 cent wedding ring. By the end of the night, most of the women would have rings on their fingers and he would have given the entire party an easy way to remember him by. What he ended up doing is NOT giving the ring to the women he was actually attracted to. Thus, they felt that his attention was valuable and they started qualifying to him. You can also stage little mini-divorces as a slight neg. It's a really fun way to run game on an entire room.

Agreed re:downvoting.

The title of this thread sounds like the basis for a solid opinion opener.

George Costanza?

It can work, but it depends on the weight of the girl and the harness that she is sitting in. You simply attach the harness to the ring, and then attach the ring to the lifting device. However, if the ring is gold, you will find that the metal is somewhat soft and will bend easily when you pick them up, even though it won't break due to the weight.

Maybe I'm idealistic but I have zero interest in women who would date a married guy, and I have zero interest in being untruthful to pick up women.

I was married for two years, wore a ring, but didn't try to meet women romantically during that time and didn't have any Costanza-like experience of women throwing themselves at me because of my ring. Have had plenty of success since then without relying on gimmicks. Improve your value by actually becoming a higher value person!

Effective yes, but probably not the most moral thing to do...
