Circa 2006, 2007 and 2008, I was engaged to be married to a man.
(Now, I actually am married to him. You know, because this post might leave you wondering.)
So, even though I was engaged, I was still a pretty shamelessdrunk flirt. There may be stories from those years which contain too much information even for TMI Thursday. I mean, maybe. I'm not ruling anything out, nor am I confessing that those types of stories definitely exist -- hidden deep in the vault where secrets stay.
Either way, in my world, there are certain rules which govern the girls-night-out. I have numerous married gal pals who remove their wedding rings while galvanting in taverns of ill repute. They believe that they'll have a better chance of scoring free drinks if they appear single, and justify it from the "what's mine is his" school of thought. One of our basic tenants is as follows -- if a married lady spends less on cocktails due to another man purchasing a round or two for her benefit, then she is really only saving her husband money.
Now, while I always consider it an accomplishment to convince an unsuspecting to add a Cosmo or a Coors Lite to his bar tab for me, I must say that I am not a huge fan of the ring removal.
Why?
I love a challenge.
And I'm not talking about shoving my left hand into my pocket or making sure I only grip my current drink with my right hand.
I like to flaunt it.
(At the risk of sounding like a ctease, I emit the you(probably) can't have this, but you can get it liquored up vibe.)
I mean, it's his money. It's not my fault if he wants to share the wealthspice.

I too like a challenge and never remove my rings. What I have found is that THEY DON'T CARE. In most cases, they don't even look! Women look at women's rings, but men don't care.
I don't mean to sound like a man basher; that's not what I'm saying. But I have found that they don't care. I've been hit on a few times with rings fully in sight and I'm going, "How do you NOT see this?"
Mind you, I hardly recognize when I'm being hit on until much later after the fact, but I knew my rings were showing.
and i did that in caps because while i love it, i also hate it. But mostlyiloveitspice.
I bartend on the weekends and one time decided to not mention I was married to a guy that was hitting on me at the bar... I didn't hide my ring or anything, but I didn't bring it up either. I figured maybe my tip would be better. But then, at 1AM when I got off, he was waiting outside and proceeded to follow me to my car!! Then he got irritated when I said I was married and needed to go home. After that, I start with "i'm married!"
