If I were monogamous, I'd have missed it all

Do married men have more women offering themselves due to preselection?

It hasn't changed for me personally. Single or married; one wife or more, women have offered themselves and continue to do so. It doesn't offend me. ;)

I get hit on a lot but not by those that I personally would choose. To many women out there that do not have any thought of living righteously before God. There are many other factors that might rule them out as well but, this is my biggest turn off.

Same for me. While there may be some physical attraction the potential problems make pursuit untenable.
 
I haven't worn a wedding ring for many years, and it's nothing to do with polygamy or trying to pick up women. I realized that the root symbology of the ring came from Roman custom where a slave would wear an iron ring to indicate they belonged to their master. This then became a marriage symbol later, with a wife wearing a gold ring to indicate she belonged to her husband - which is in accordance with Biblical order. The idea of men wearing rings also is a feminist notion, which upends the entire order. I stopped wearing one partly for safety reasons but mainly for this.
 
My/our husband hasn't worn his ring much in many years. Safety first, and then because I didnt mind him appearing available. We didn't know anything about Roman ring customs. I take mine off at home because it's wearing out after almost 30 years of continuous wear. I like to wear mine in public.
 
There is no prohibition regarding rings. I wear mine with pride and feel naked without it.
 
Scarlet25, I reread you bio and am sorry you did not experience the innocence of small town America and genuine loving churches. My experience as a small town/very rural upbringing is very naive and I find my head shaking in disbelief thinking, "are people really like that in God's house?"

I do wonder what is you image in public?
 
Wow! This whole thread got derailed, not like that hasn't happened before. I found the story riveting. If it is true that her husband has planted four churches, my sincere hope is that he will plant one here in the North Austin metro, and I am ready to join that church if and when he does start one. The biggest challenge will be how to covertly work within the church, which will no doubt have some anti polygamy statement in its charter, to persuade people without getting expelled.

Not the first time. There were things said that looked a bit fishy.
