Blake: "How can we socially rate a man's creepiness? Single men who have never been married are the highest. While men who are married and have kids are the lowest."
One of the things on my To Do list is to buy a cheap, tasteful men's wedding band to wear (particularly for the next time I need to go job hunting). Just a little piece of bling to send the proper social signals.
The manosphere has already commented at length about women and pre-selection; women like guys who are already taken.
It's also been noted that some businesses and corporations have a hard-on for hiring people who are married. Maybe they're on a social conservative family-values kick and they think marriage proves that you're a responsible and mature individual.
Or the more cynical analysis, that you're a slave, an indentured man. You've got a figurative ball and chain on you, a wife and maybe kids that require lots of money, meaning you're desperate and will take any shit they give you because you're too scared and/or broke to quit.
Slip the ring on and let it do the talking it needs to do. You don't even have lie. If anyone asks, "No, I'm not married." Full stop. If they press for details, "It's not something I like to talk about." Let them make their own assumptions. "Hey, he's got alimony and child support to pay, he's a keeper, we'll have him by the balls."
