Want a drastic reduction in the number of men who bug you with creepy advances? I highly suggest you invest some money in a fake engagement ring, or maybe take it to the next level and buy the double band.
I’ve had some people give me a hard time in saying, “You may possibly be cheating yourself out of finding your soulmate by wearing that ring.” In all honesty, I’m not looking to meet my Mr. Right at some random bar – that’s far from what I imagine meeting my husband will be like. And I don’t want to date a dude I meet at a bar I’m a regular at, since that’d be super inconvenient if things didn’t work out (I mean, who would get custody of the spot?)
Bear in mind, wearing a fake engagement ring doesn’t always act as a deterrent. Guys typically want women (or things for that matter) that they can’t necessarily have, so sometimes guys come on even stronger in the face of a challenge.

In addition, ring finger jewelry provides an easy excuse for a turn down, making it less personal and therefore less embarrassing for both parties. I consider such an accessory as a “Do Not Disturb” sign that sparkles. It’s nice to go out with friends and not worry about wannabe suitors interrupting the flow of girl talk or drunk obnoxious assholes offering to show you “what a real man is like.”
Sometimes guys will hit on you anyway, but a lot of times they will look at it and respect the rock. Having that band on your finger is like a shield that says there’s a guy behind this ring.
On the flip side, the shield works both ways. It’s nowhere near as common, but that guy twisting his wedding band around his third finger as he talks to you just might be pulling the same thing.
