    No way!

    I would just be me, and like attracts like. Before long that void would be filled, but I'd never go to any "singles" functions or advertise myself like a side of beef.

    I would think that a wedding band would indicate 'not single' :)

    I don't think it's desperate but I wouldn't like it being an in thing if I were single. It removes one element of challenge the 'hunt' ;P

    There's a beach in Italy where where you sun bake is an indication of how 'up for it' you are. The closer to the water you are the more receptive you are to interest.

    There's always a couple of trollops sun baking right on the wet sand lol

    I don't think it's desperate. Why be ashamed of being single? It's not like it screams, "I'm single and hate it! Marry me now!" I'm sure a good number of the single folks on here saying it's desperate are the same ones logging onto Match.com (or whatever your singles site is).

    Just because there's a goalie, doesn't mean you can't score! :)

    Don't they have 'I'm not single' finger bands?

    I'm married and have never had one of those... I'm serious, I've never had a wedding ring, he has one but I don't. I keep telling him I need one. Maybe now that I'm losing weight, he'll get one for me. He is already making comments "I'm going to have to handcuff you do me so you won't leave me for another man." Maybe this is the kick in the balls he needs to get on it?

    But to answer the OP... Oh hell no! I would never wear this even if I was single. Mise well write "I'm desperate" on your forehead, and then underneath it jot your number"

    Really? I wear a ring, it indicates I am not single. Before that I didn't wear a ring, it meant I wasn't married. Hurm.

    Not everyone wears a wedding band though. And just because you aren't married doesn't mean you want a relationship.

    no but I'm old and like being single. I don't want paired up I don't NEED a man (or want one in my house) and I don't understand all this neediness & lonliness stuff.
    We start out autonomous. WHEN does all this NEED come up!? it's learned and I never learned it. I don't want to.
    So many ppl stay in BAD relationships rather than be alone - I don't get it.
    Then you have ppl who are 'hunting' for a partner like it's a job vacancy. There are no vacancies here. I have a full life & no time for some other person's nonsense.

    get a wrist band or GET A LIFE - your choice - I've made mine

    I've been single 4 years... and no... I most definitely would not wear a wrist band advertising it... Whilst it is sometimes hard to spot "single" people... I think it is up to conversations and getting to know someone to determine if they are taken already or not. You can make some great friends by talking to people you don't know... Obviously if they're wearing a wedding ring, you know they're not single! In which case you would only be conversing to make a friend. If there is no ring on their finger, then it is up to that person to let you know (or for you to suss out) if they are single or not and whether they're interested...

    I personally would not want to advertise being single. I like my freedom. I like my independence and I like people to talk to me not thinking they can jump in my pants. Wearing a "single" band could potentially send out the wrong vibes. Make people work for it.

    just to add another comment to this:

    single ladies: do not ever wear a decorative ring on your left hang ring finger. one time i was wearing one there that was silver and orange, obviously not a wedding/engagement ring at all, and a older guy friend of mine told me not to wear it there, as guys really do look at your ring finger to gauge your level of singleness. so if you want to scream your single wear a ring on any finger except for that one!
