Helen Anne brings up some valid points -- a ring on the left hand ring
finger shouldn't scare someone off if they are just trying to make a
friend. However it seems that not many women adopt Helen's attitude
about rings, rather they wear the ring as if to say "I'm taken, don't
bother me."
It would be nice to hear from the married population out there (men and
women) on their opinions of being approached by a potential SO, and how
they deal with it.
BTW, I'm having a *great* time in Cambridge!

Gee Greg, you must still be on vacation, so why are you doing this important ring research. Gee whiz Greg, you should take it easy. However I am pleased to note that you remebered to post your assinine view. -- The Last Surviving Bronto

My wedding ring simply indicates I have chosen to Love, honor, charish,
and forsake all others, which rules out any intimate relationships with
MOTSS I meet. It does not rule out friendships. This isn't true of every
one I know who is married, but I have found I can win a womans friendship
more easily if she knows I am married and faithful and not looking for
a sexual relationsip. So yes, it reduces pickups that might result in
more intimate activities later, but increases the actual number of people
I can meet and talk comfortably to. I happen to like the results.
