Ladies, have any of you worn a fake engagement ring to ward off unwanted attention. And if so, does it work?

I recently tested it and it does. If they don’t notice it all you have to do is show your hand and they’ll leave you alone. I used to go around saying I have a bf to ward off attention and it wasn’t working because I was by myself so there was “no bf to exist”

It depends. When I was engaged, the creeps backed off, but I did have some guys still desperately try which was even weirder

Does it raise questions tho. I keep getting hit on, and if someone were to stalk I have a bf and all but it’s not like I’d have engagement pics or anything. I just wanna quit getting hit on tbh but I’m scared if I find an actual safe person they’ll think I’m crazy

That’s true. I just don’t want people to think I’m a weirdo when starting a new job

At that point, the ring should work. If not, you offer to invite fiance. That should scare them off. If not, go to a nearby gym, and ask the most jacked woman you can find to be your fiance. I find that puts men in their place 😂

I basically attract sexual harassment and constantly am sexualized by both men and women and I just want it to stop. Genuinely I’d do anything to just to be left alone and allowed to exist comfortably.

Try the ring. Hopefully it’ll work for you. If not, make sure you can comfortably punch with it
