"We've tried dirty looks, haughty sighs and angry tirades to get rid of these predators - but nothing works like the magic ring."
This isn't a new trend. Women have been doing this for decades : buying their own $10 fake diamond engagement ring - as a verbal sign to undesirable males that they are already spoken for. Nothing says "Boo!" to a guy than a girl on the (apparent) fast-track to the altar.
, The New York Post recently reported that these faux rocks are the accessories of the season for fashionable ladies who just want to be left alone. "They drop $10 on a gaudy stone, apply to left ring finger and watch as one-time pursuers fade into the background." the post said.
One woman told the Post that she no longer has any trouble walking past leering/howling construction workers. When the guys stop shoveling dirt and start shoveling lines, she just flashes her ring and the curtain falls.
Of course, this raises the question: Why don't these women wear wedding bands? But I guess if you're going for the fake-out, you might as well do it with the style that only a diamond can bring.
