Nice job pretending to be stupid - rings are not something I check for, but sometimes I notice them when a man gestures at something. Is it really that hard to understand? Of course not - you just enjoy arguing. Please, continue. ---

> [@Ibanez](#): > > Us men know as well just because a woman isn’t wearing a ring doesn’t mean she’s fair game. But it’s the **first thing** both men and women look for if you find a person attractive. I don’t, because they never are. You people just like the wrong kind of men/women. ---

We really should stick to religion and politics in the Pit, not nearly so rancorous as talking about sex. ---

> [@Troppus](#): > > Jesus, do you have any friends of the opposite sex, or just the one you’re boinking? What I’m suggesting is that if he truly tried to get to know her before attempting to pick her up and found her so appealing and this interest is not limited to whether or not she’ll get in his bed, then he’s totally made an awesome new friend. What you are suggesting is gross and creepy as hell. > [@Troppus](#): > > Have you read the whole thread? (1) guy asks out girl he finds attractive, gripes because she wore no proof of marriage (2) handful of women give him shit for not trying to get to know her a bit before pouncing (3) handful of men call bullshit and claim guy Did try to get to know her (4) I said "prove you’re interested in more than her vagina, make friends with her (5) men push back and say well no, why should we pretend we are interested in anything but women’s vaginas? > As far as I can tell, we’re back at square one which is Guys: Dammit women make it easier on us to get laid and Women: If all you want is to get laid without bothering to get to know us, you’re on your own, turkeys. You really should take a chill tablet. This OP really does boil down to a guy feeling disappointed that a woman he thought was cute and nice is taken. He didn’t ask her out, he just dug her, and then refrained from asking her out upon learning she was married. What, praytell, is so wrong about this? Yes, we know before you offer your penis to a woman, you should probably get to know her first. No, it’s no one’s duty to have “Vagina Occupied” tattooed on her forehead. We’re not talking about some creep show here who is demanding women inform them upfront whether or not they’re married. “Hi, I’m Crystal, and as a courtesy to your penis, I’m letting you know that I have a husband and two children.” Yes, I know what the thread title and OP say, but that was his joking way of saying he got his hopes up for nothing. The OP’s worst offense was being whiny. > [@Faruiza](#): > > That is a “vajacancy”. I like it! My friend used to own a shirt that read “Single” in the Google lettering, but this is a much better thing to put on a tee shirt. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > I admit to being flat-out amazed my OP has led to this kind of post. RickJay, this thread passed you up by halfway down page one. It’s not been about you for quite awhile. We’ve just been ragging on clueless guys in general who hit on us blind then get butthurt about rejection. It’s like fishing: the fisherman thinks it’s a contest, but the fish is just doing her thing, minding her own business and oblivious to the bait-dangler. Fish doesn’t bite so he bitches about the fish. But the fish wasn’t in the game, see? No? Well just quit dangling bait unless the fish are jumping in your boat. But if you’re feeling lucky and casting everytime you’ve got your pole, don’t complain if you don’t get to pull one out every time. That’s just poor sportsmanship. ---

This is an enlightening thread. Men actually ask women out that they have only just met? And those women go out with them? In this day and age? Huh.
