You're Not David Copperfield, I Can Still Tell You're Married

You're innocently sitting at a bar enjoying some brews when all of a sudden HOT-TAYYY alert!  Hubba, hubba!  Okay, hold it together.  It's been so long since a girl noticed you, don't blow this one.  Oh, snap!  Forgot  one little detail...  You're married.  Easy solution: take your ring off.  Slip that baby in you pocket and flirt away.  No ring, no marriage (while you sweet talk the ladies), no one has to know.

That is how it works in the movies, right?  Because everyday is just like the movies.  If that were true, I would be married to a Brad Pitt/Ryan Reynold's hybrid who makes $20m a year and remembers anniversaries, birthdays, and loves to eat ice cream while watching my favorite flicks.  And once I snap out of my Danielle Steele novel, I'm hoping you step into reality.

You're overlooking one glaring detail, in the movies, everything is plotted out perfectly, including spray tans.  That ring tan line on your left ring finger is screaming that you are married...  And borderline perv.

Ohhhh, you're not married?  That is just a weird tan line and you don't know how it got there?

Well, I am such a silly girl!  I should've known you're a human/zebra hybrid which accounts for the finger striping.


What is so deplorable is that you think women don't notice details.  Have you never been forced to sit through any chick flick?  That is ALL women notice.  This isn't a farmer's tan, where it shows you do manly things like yard work, changing brakes, or scratching your crotch in the sun, this tan line says you're a second rate magician.  You're cloak-and-dagger plan needed a lot more cloak and maybe a big dagger to scare us into believing you Harry Potter.

What's more discerning is that you think this works in real life.  It's really creepy, but also not very sneaky.  Moreover, you're essentially branded with that tan, why would you try to hide it?  Would you wear a lot of black eyeliner meticulously applied so you look Asian at a bar?  I surely hope not, because it's weird, and it doesn't make sense.

Let's call a spade a spade.  You're married, you're tanned, and an idiot.  Count yourself lucky your wife married you in the first place.
