Should a client leave it on or take it off?
Some thoughts... 1) Do you care if a client is wearing a wedding ring? 2) Does it make you feel safer? (less likely to have a stalker) 3) If you ask about the ring, is it for the clients benefit/safety? (no perfume, lipsticks, condom latex 'odor', etc. 4) If a client takes it off, and you can obviously tell, does that bother you? TIA
) Do you care if a client is wearing a wedding ring?
Not really.
2) Does it make you feel safer? (less likely to have a stalker)
no not at all. I've had 2 stalkers that were both married.
3) If you ask about the ring, is it for the clients benefit/safety? (no perfume, lipsticks, condom latex 'odor', etc.
No, I typically try to be as discreet as possible before the appointment regardless.
Nop
and drop in the white envelope that you brought in with you....
Some girls I know will actually insist on having any wedding rings, expensive watches, chains etc along with their fee. This one guy got into altercation with the girl over a small piece of jewelry, and ended up losing his finger... and the ring of course..... Of course this lady hails from NJ..So no surprise there..OK...On a serious note.. No one cares about you being married or having a ring.. Majority of business for most of the providers comes from married folks anyway...
I leave it and my watch in the car...less stuff to have to worry about remembering to take when I leave...
else you are just going down the primrose path toward getting seriously confused about P4P....
taking your ring off is a good way to lose it or forget it as well - dumb move....My clients are married men, single men, divorced men and some even widowed. If they want to discuss it that is fine with me. Who am I to judge? If I see a ring I think nothing of it. I am there to do me and you. And with a pretty smile on my happy face.
I used to leave the ring in the car at first cuz I was embarrassed but then I would get the questions like "So why is a cute guy like you single?" and then I would get even more embarrassed cuz I would have to fib or deflect the question (which wasn't really cool imo either).
I think like on my 4th date, I forgot to take it off and didn't realize it until afterwards. It was such a non-issue for the provider that I decided I shouldn't be worried about it either. Bottom line: No one cares if you are married.
