    Kinda takes the fun out of building up the courage to go talk to someone....
    But that's just my opinion

    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.

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

    Yes.... which many men prefer... you'd be surprised.

    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!

    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).

    LMFAO! I'm guilty of using Match & Zoosk in the past!:blushing: :laugh:

    Lol, but it's not desperate. There's nothing wrong with using those sites. It's just funny how some people are embarrassed to be single.

    I do think it's a goofy way to just make money though. The idea, I agree with.

    When did I time warp? Not all people in committed relationships are married or wear wedding bands. Times they are a-changin.' If people are single and want to remain that way - great. If people are single and want a one-nighter, bully for them. If people are single and would like to be in a relationship, that's great as well. Given the various stages people can be at in relationships with no way to definitively declare it to others, I see no reason why someone should be denied declaration of their single status. Why not?! I can't say if I would wear one or not, I certainly wouldn't wear one in professional situations or things like that, but maybe elsewhere. Most people I know are married or living with someone. There's no way to know if someone is committed but just not married.

    NO.

    And I used to wear one of those finger bands... I sold mine and his just before the divorce was final.

    I don't need a wristband to let girls know I wanna take them home.


    I seduce them on the dancefloor instead.

    This. I like this. Being pretty newly single it's kind of a cool idea, thinking of it as an easy way to tell whether someone is available. Just because someone doesn't have a wedding ring on doesn't mean they're single! Plus, some people (like ME!!) can be pretty shy, so maybe it would help some people to get noticed or approached when they normally wouldn't be comfortable going and making the first move.

    The interview they had with the woman was someone who had just come out of a marriage and she was the one that has formed this websit/idea here in australia. I dont think I would ever do it mainly because I am only 24 and that makes me look quite desperate.

    I think I will continue to be a person who is both nice and friendly to everyone, someone will eventually take me for me :)

    But for some people who are getting a fair bit older and would like to meet someone, I do think that this could be a great option

    I don't think it's such a bad idea, I've seen guys I'm interested in but there's not an easy way to suss out interest because of the location.

    However, there is no way I'm paying a website $15 so I can wear an ugly bracelet with their site name on it.

    Also, it does remind me of the jelly wrist bands from school. Will they be coming out with colored plates you can snap onto the bracelet to indicate just -what- you are interested in?

    I think it clears up a lot of confusion. Many people are afraid of rejection, but if they know that other person is telling the world "they are single", it may encourage an otherwise shy person to start up a conversation. No one is making you do anything.

    Agreed.

    I see nothing wrong with it. Declare it if you want to declare it...gets straight to the point.

    Personally I wouldn't wear it though. Just because I am single does not mean I'm looking and I wouldn't want to deal with people hitting on me... triggered by my wristband.

    How 'bout a wristband that says "I'm not single but if you're down, I'm down"???
  • SerenaFisher
    SerenaFisher Posts: 2,170 Member
    I haven't been "single" for a while, but I do know even if by fate I became single the last thing I would do is wear a wrist band that says "I am single" not because it's cheesy (though it kind of is) or too simple (which it is) but because half of the fun of being single is to have someone COME FIND OUT IF YOU ARE. If a guy knows I'm single he will more than likely approach me... yes, but I prefer a man that is brave enough to do it regardless. :D That's just me.

    Like medic alert bracelets?


    They should come in different colors to indicate your personality or interests up front - like your favorite sports team colors, or green if your really into the environment - OR mood bracelets with "I'm Single" on them.

    Islanders typically wear a flower in one ear to symbolize if they are single, and the other ear to symbolize "taken". What's the big deal?

    so do the irish:drinker: .. they are called a claddagh ring. Traditionally, if the ring is on the right hand with the heart facing outward and away from the body, this indicates that the person wearing the ring is not in any serious relationship, and may in fact be single and looking for a relationship: "their heart is open. When worn on the right hand but with the heart facing inward toward the body, this indicates the person wearing the ring is in a relationship, or that "someone has captured their heart. A Claddagh worn on the left hand ring finger facing outward away from the body generally indicates that the wearer is engaged. When the ring is on the left hand ring finger and facing inward toward the body, it generally means that the person wearing the ring is married.
