So I was having a drink with my girl AL last night, and she tells me about a guy she recently met, a friend of a friend who was wearing a wedding ring when she met him. Naturally, she assumed he was married. It turns out he was single; he just wears the ring to the bars because he thinks it makes women feel less threatened by him, like he's not going to try to pick them up, so they can just be themselves. Once they open up to him, he drops the bomb that he is, in fact, single. Apparently, this has been a successful tactic for him on several occasions.

Is this guy for real? And do real, live girls actually fall for this?

Have you ever made up a story this ludicrous to pick somebody up at a bar, and it actually worked? Because I would love to hear about it. And meet the idiot who fell for it. Hopefully you are not dating said idiot now. Because that would make you an idiot, too.

On a side note: I'm feeling agressive today. This kind of describes my mood, although the people I most want to beat down are not metioned on the list...Don't worry. It's not any of you. Probably.
