Single Ladies Have the Right to Hide Behind a Ring

Posted on by

We live in a country where some women are afraid to share their relationship status. The reasoning I have been told is that men won’t take no for an answer. The women grow tired of the increase in agressive nature of said men. Their response is to indicate that they are in a serious relationship.

I see two problems with this chosen solution:

  1.  In a perfect world your word should be enough to send them on their way. You are expecting them to recognize the ring as a sign of commitment, respect you, and walk away. The ring is your supporting evidence to the untruth.  If these  men are as unscrupulous as described then would they care that you are committed?
  2. The intention to deter the more persistent men holds a false asumption. By wearing the ring when you are really single and looking,  you are not turning  away those super agressive men that you are afraid of. You are turning away the men who respect what a ring on the left hand stands for.

So the men get more agressive and the women get more attention from the men they wanted nothing to do with in the first place. Nobody wins here. No laws are being broken by wearing a ring without a commitment.  Women absolutely have the right to do whatever it takes to make sure that they are safe. My only question is if you are sending all the signals that do not represent who you truly are, can you still rightly turn around and complain about the quality of men that are represented?

 

Is my line of thinking wrong? Respond in the comments below or tweet me @Soularpowered

  1. It is true that the ring will only bring the attention from unwanted men and deter the attention from the wanted men. To avoid the attention of unwanted men, women need to first evaluate where it is that you are meeting them and change the scenery. They also need to avoid eye contact at all cost. Also, do not smile at them, that to them is a sign of “come hither”.

    • How you react can definitely be a factor. Be direct. Leave no room for misinterpretation. You can still get your point across with out being rude. Have some tact when you turn another person down.
