Growing weary of the numerous men flirting with her, Tash (26) has taken some sage advice from a friend, and started wearing a phoney engagement ring.
“I’m kind of like a big sister to Tash, but with like, heaps more wisdom ‘n’ that” said the friend.
“Plus, I’ve got four engagement rings from previous relationships, so it was no trouble to lend her one”.
However, Tash is yet to experience the dramatic reduction in unwanted male attention that the ring was supposed to achieve.
“No ring is gonna stop me” said one man at Tash’s local who offered to buy her a drink after charmingly explaining that he caught sight of her arse from across the room.
“It’s a bonus if anything, no chance of her getting clingy” said the man while adjusting his crotch.
“I’ll be like David Copperfield once I’ve hit that, and she can’t complain because she’s got a fiancée haha”.
One witness has also noticed that when Tash attempts to flirt with more respectable gentlemen, they tend to quickly extricate themselves from the conversation.
“She certainly made an impression when I first met her” said Tom, a handsome member of Tash’s gym, who is also a surgeon and women’s rights activist.
“There used to be a bit of banter between us when we’d bump into each other, but that’s only because I thought she was single and I don’t meet many women due to my commitments teaching music to blind children when I’m off work at the hospital.
“I feel terrible about it now that I’ve spotted her ring, and get very uncomfortable when she suggests getting to know each other better.
“I’m so relieved I didn’t end up asking her out”.
