I'm so attractive I have to wear a fake wedding ring in public — just to keep men from flirting with me
A sizzling hot model claims to have so many issues with men trying to engage with her — that she's taken to wearing a fake wedding band.
Influencer Ju Isen insisted that the easiest way to avoid unwanted attention has been to slide the bogus bling on her finger — before leaving her home.
The Brazilian beauty, who boasts 2.6 million Instagram followers, alleged that male suitors would approach her everywhere she went — the gym, supermarket, pharmacy and even her local swimming pool.
'I was tired of the constant approaches – it was nonstop, even when I clearly wasn't interested,' Isen, who is currently single, told NeedToKnow.
'So I put on a simple ring on my left hand, and it was like hitting a mute button,' the 39 year old declared.
The faux-token of affection acts as a sign to these men that she is not available.
'Even if it's not real, it is a deterrent to being approached,' she explained. 'It has worked for years. It is just visible enough to keep people from coming up to me.'
She added that as soon as she started wearing a ring on her finger, guys started looking at her differently, and now they 'think twice before saying anything.'
'It has influenced how I'm treated in places like the gym or bars,' she professed.
Isen recalled one time she was at the pharmacy when a guy started making small talk with her — but his demeanor shifted when he saw the ring.
'He asked if I was married, I just smiled, and he said, 'Got it, sorry,' and walked away,' she shared. 'It was respectful, and I got to keep my peace.'
The model and influencer said that she started wearing the ring on her finger when she was just 23 years old, and now it's become part of her routine.
'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,'' Isen explained. 'And the most interesting part? It still works.'
While she still wears the ring to this day, she did take a break from it a couple years ago — though she noticed that attention from male prospects wasn't as strong as it had been before the break, something she believes has to do with the rise of dating apps.
'Men today no longer have the initiative they once had. It's like they're unmotivated,' she observed. 'Even the bad pickup lines that used to annoy me have become rare.'
Isen asserted that 'technology killed flirting.'
'Nowadays, everyone just waits for a match on a dating app. No one makes eye contact, no one approaches naturally anymore. And that makes relationships feel more empty and mechanical,' she expressed.
Regardless, she continues to wear the ring to avoid flirtatious men — and she doesn't miss the attention.
'At least not that kind of attention,' she clarified. 'I prefer peace, if a man is really interested, he'll have to go beyond the obvious. And if I'm interested too, I'll just explain I'm not actually married.'
'The ring has become more than just an accessory, it's a filter.'

Nicola Peltz Beckham Goes Nude in Summer Vacation Photos with Brooklyn Beckham
Nicola Peltz Beckham is showing some — well, actually a lot of — skin while on vacation with her husband Brooklyn Beckham! The Lola actress, 30, posted a steamy bunch of photos to her Instagram account on Tuesday, July 22. 'best memories 🥺🏝️✨🌸🫶🏻🍸🛁⚓️🥹,' she captioned her carousel. In her first picture, Nicola wore a white pants set with a relaxed fit and a strappy crop top, paired with a matching elastic headband. She stared directly at the camera as she leaned against the rail on a yacht. Buildings on hilltops could be seen in the distance as the sunset. However, things quickly intensified in her second photo — where she went nude, strategically lying in a bathtub filled with water, covered up by her arms and legs. 'I took the photo in the bath,' Brooklyn, 26, wrote in the comment section, adding a red heart emoji. Moments later, he added, 'Love you xx.' The Transformers: Age of Extinction actress wasn't done with the eye-catching uploads. After her nude shot, Nicola added a photo of herself staring into a bathroom mirror with nothing but a white towel wrapped around her waist. She wore nothing up top, but used her hands, which were holding a martini, to cover up. Additional images showed the couple enjoying time lounging together on the luxury vessel. The Cloud23 CEO and the Bates Motel alum, whose romance dates back to October 2019, have been married since April 2022 when they exchanged vows during a lavish wedding in Palm Beach, Fla. Last month, the duo celebrated the fifth anniversary of their July 2020 engagement. Brooklyn proclaimed his love for Nicola, writing that asking "this beautiful woman" to marry him was "the best decision ever" in a June 23 post on Instagram. "I love you so much ❤️,' he captioned a mirror selfie of the couple.

The same month, Brooklyn shared an intimate look at his back tattoo which consists of a note that Nicola wrote him before their April 2022 wedding. The note, which he has inked in a calligraphy font, reads, "My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I've ever met and hope I never go a day without your love. I think you are so incredible. Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey." Read the original article on People
