Wedding bands typically label individuals as being “taken” and, thus, off-the-market. But what happens when someone removes his or her ring in an effort to conceal matrimonial ties? Well, that depends on the type of ring that he or she is wearing.
Consider this: There’s a new, anti-cheating wedding band that will very literally brand the finger of those individuals who choose to wear it (yes, really). Here’s the evidence:

According to BoingBoing.net, the creative, yet slightly over-the-top product is being sold by TheCheeky, a so-called hub for inappropriate gifts. The titanium wedding band is $550 and it leaves individuals who wear it over a period of time with a literal imprint that proclaims one’s marriage status.
An official description of the wedding band on the vender’s web site pokes fun at some of the more famous cases of infidelity that have been seen in Hollywood and the celebrity world in recent years.

“With Arnold, Tiger and two timing IMF guy in mind, we have created this wedding ring for people intent on cheating,” TheCheeky’s description proclaims. “The negative engraving on the inside means that when you are in the ‘Club’ and an attractive woman…or man comes along to chat, slipping your wedding ring off is not an option.”

So, while the ring was created in jest, it does have some practical uses. Then again, there are some people who may even be willing to look past an imprint that says “I’m Married.” Still, it’s an entertaining product.

Posted on June 28, 2012 at 3:48amThat’s why when you get married, and start wearing a wedding band (i.e. the status qup way of signaling one is married), women just line up to jump your bones–that’s how it works for married guys in the status quo, right? They have wade through lakes of tempting poon as soon as they put that ring on.

Posted on June 27, 2012 at 2:38pmI don‘t wear my ring because can’t stand rings, necklaces or bracelets either…I;m not Italian so thank God… IT bugged my wife for a bit until I told her that a ring is not the symbol of my commitment to her, it’s my actions. I do not need anyone else to know that I am married and it does not matter to me if anyone knows I;m married. A ring prevents nothing when it comes to cheating, if it’s the ring that a) prevents cheating or b) keeps the marriage together, your relationship has already failed… Also keep in mind that the modern diamond wedding ring idea was created by media hype…the DeBeers family was largely responsible for our obsession with diamonds and whatnot.

Posted on June 27, 2012 at 10:50amI take my ring off ALL the time. In fact every night. I hate showering with it. That ring doesn’t make me married. The commitment I have to my wife is what keeps me married.
Are the guys cheating really looking for something long term? it seems this is a pretty easy score if you really want it with all the websites there are.

Posted on June 27, 2012 at 11:04amAmen, brother. I rarely wear my ring due to my last 10 years of work history: Active Duty military and Licensed Massage Therapist. The ring doesn’t make me married, and not wearing it doesn’t make me NOT married. It’s the love I have for my wife that keeps me from cheating, not a ring.

Report Post »Atrum Angelis
Posted on June 27, 2012 at 1:34pmSince getting married, I get hit so much more. Some women see the ring and think the guy isn’t afraid of commitment (which I would assume most people do) but they want that commitment and try to move in on the guy with a ring. But if he cheats, how is that commitment? If he cheats, then he isn’t committed and now they have a guy who might cheat on them since he did it before. I guess it‘s just wanting what isn’t theirs.

Actually, it is not so much a case of never understanding people in what you said, because you have an operative phrase in your note that says you *do* understand those people.
“I guess it‘s just wanting what isn’t theirs.”
Operative phrase. In a goodly portion of infidelity cases, that is the bulk of the justification. End of story.
Have some more faith in your own analysis skills, ’cause you hit that nail on the head in one swing.
Have a good evening!

Posted on June 27, 2012 at 10:08amIt doesn’t “brand” your finger, it leaves an impression, and the only way it leaves an impression is when your finger gets fatter as you wear the ring.
Your fingers get fatter as the wearer gets fatter – and fat married men only have so much appeal on the open market (at least, that‘s what I’ve been told ;^)

Posted on June 27, 2012 at 10:03amA wedding band is an open invitation for a one night stand for a lot of people.
I bought a gold wedding band at a yard sale for a quarter when I was younger. When I turned 18 and could go bars with my friends I would wear it because I had a girlfriend and didn’t want to get hit on. The exact opposite happened. My friends were upset that no one was hitting on them or buying them drinks and I told them it was just because I was handsome.
I forgot to wear it once and no one hit on me. We figured it was the ring so the next time I let my friend Brent wear it. He got a date and left with a lady. I sold him the ring for $10 the next day.
People are strange.
