Influencer Ju Isen has taken to using a fake wedding ring to deter unwanted attention from men. The Brazilian model, who has garnered 2.6 million Instagram followers, found that wearing a simple ring on her left hand significantly reduced unsolicited approaches in various public settings. Since she began this practice at 23, Isen notes it has become integral to her routine, acting as a subtle yet effective boundary-setting tool while allowing her to maintain her peace in social environments.
I was tired of the constant approaches - it was nonstop, even when I clearly wasn't interested. So I put on a simple ring on my left hand, and it was like hitting a mute button.
Even if it's not real, it is a deterrent to being approached. It has worked for years. It is just visible enough to keep people from coming up to me.
It has influenced how I'm treated in places like the gym or bars. I just smiled, and he said, 'Got it, sorry,' and walked away. It was respectful, and I got to keep my peace.
It's not about tricking anyone - it's about setting boundaries. It's a quiet way of saying, 'I'm not available for this kind of interaction.'
