Default Re: Opinion on single men wearing a \"wedding ring\"

Edit: and what do you plan to say if someone asks you a question relating to your marriage?

"Oh, I'm not married."

"Oh... really? Then why are you wearing a wedding ring?"

???

"It's my deceased father's wedding band. Sorry if I offended you by wearing it."

That will shut them right up.

It's slightly shady, but I doubt most will care one way or the other about your marital status. In fact, single workers are less expensive for the company because the company will not be insuring any dependents.

If I were your attorney, I would not advise you to LIE to your potential employer. OP may not be lucky enough to have a dead father to involve in his ruse.

I think bald-faced lying is slightly more than "slightly shady." Employers probably don't care about marital status, but they might care about lying.
