If you're a married man and you're reading this... look down. If you
don't have a ring on your finger, think about this... you're wasting my
time

Yeah and if you are like my husband and take off your ring to do woodworking
and then you put it somewhere and then you go and die -- it might be months
before your wife can even find it, and she'll be really annoyed.

Married men who don't wear rings. Don't they realize what a tremendous
waste of time they are? Not that married men are a waste of time in
general but ya know... I'm not out there talking to a guy just to "make
friends". I now have three married male friends. Super --sarcastic.

Married male friends are uncomfortable. I can't call them when I need
help or advice. Their wives own their time. I can't call just to talk
'cause that's just plain wrong. The "relationship" is always going to
remain the same and if, by some chance, it didn't, then I'd be the other
woman... nope. That ain't gonna happen.

If you're a married man and you're reading this... look down. If you
don't have a ring on your finger, think about this... you're wasting my
time. At 45, I don't have time to waste. Put a ring on and stop using
me to boost your ego. If you're not getting it from your wife, divorce
her and then call me.

Well... I'm not exactly
divorced. We separated last week." Sheesh.
I'm astounded by the number of people (men and women) who think being separated
is equal to being single.

Like I wanna be in *that*
position?

I think they call that being the "comfort" woman...you provide sympathy,
affirmation of their masuclinity, sex of course until they have healed enough
to move on.

Yea yea, before the men get their tighty whiteys in a bunch, it's the same the
other way around too...

Maybe you shouldn't look at every man you meet as anything more than a new
acquaintance. You sound more like a predator hunting for prey.

Additionally, don't forget that some men, and women wear wedding rings just
to keep the predators at bay. I sure did whenever I travelled on business.
Personally, I think that it's a sad statement the wearing a ring, or not
wearing a ring really doesn't tell you much anymore.

I hear ya Kate!

I read the ring was a metaphor in the OP. If a ring was
mystical/magical enough to disuade behavior, women would find a way to
have rings permanently attached. My husband didn't own a wedding ring
because he worked construction and it could have been dangerous to
wear. Seeking affection/attention from other women wasn't an issue...
he had lots of issues, but that wasn't one of them.

Some men do/say anything to get what they want, I suppose. (Look at
Scott Peterson.) But, so do some single men.

Married men can be great friends. But, sometimes the definition of
friends is as different as can be between the two friends. I think
women sometimes choose married men for intimate relationships because
it actually derails a more intimate and committed relationship. iow,
the woman needs to look to herself for the blame of these
relationships taking over her life and time...
