The Wedding Ring Turn on.

Many girls are very familiar with the "Left Hand check."   You know where you glance down at the man's left hand to see if he's sporting that all too familiar wedding ring.   I mentioned it's true importance in my post about Michael Buble and his man-gagement ring a couple of weeks back - but I need to reiterate it's importance in light of recent events. 

I was talking to a friend the other night - and while he's not yet married, he's only a couple of weeks out from the faithful day and night.  Good for him.  But there is a catch.  While he doesn't wear a man-gagement ring (which you should know I highly LOVE and encourage the idea) he's very open and happy about his engagement to his lovely finance.  - granted if someone is not open, nor happy about their engagement - there is a whole other story, another blog and a whole shit load of Tharp to discuss here. 

Anyway, Mr. Y, as he shall be known was asked out by a younger woman - 10 years his junior.  She should know about his "happy news," but one can guess that she might be clueless.  But Y, being the nice guy he is (asshole might be one of those that got away, but we won't dwell on that of course!) calmed informed her of his situation (without showing her his situation of a six pack - sorry I watched Jersey Shore last night - I love that shit!)  Any sane, classy woman would apologize and back off.  Probably wishing him good luck with his wedding (only weeks away). 

Do you think she did?  One guess.  I'm waiting, waiting...  Hell no.  This girl calmly informed Mr. Y that she didn't care about his finance and they could still go out. 

Really?

Really?

Is that ok these days?  Since when did it become acceptable to date not only an attached man, but one that will be marrying his wife in just days? 

I have to say, sadly I think there is trend for women to look for that "sugar daddy" type.  (and that is even if the "sugar" isn't there!)  Some women don't want the commitment, the responsibility, or the work that comes with a relationship.  Instead they would like a man that will just shower them with the sex, the money and the gifts that comes with a man who is attached to another.  A man with a ring is a good "target" for this kind of behavior.  I don't understand it at all - but then again I'm a bit old fashioned (which sounds a little crazy if you've read ANY of this blog).  But what happened to the one man for one women concept?  Did it get lost somewhere when we went from 1999 to 2000?  That millennium shifted and we lost all sense of reality? 

Looking for a picture of a man's wedding ring on Google and ran across this picture - PRICESSLESS.  These might be the best comical wedding ring set ever...
