I'm a fair and open-minded person. I also don't object when my wife
sometimes leave her wedding band at home when going to certain
business meetings. She tells me that male business clients are usually
easier to persuade if they don't see a wedding band on her.

For me, I find that it's the opposite. My female clients seem more
open to whatever sales pitch I try to make when they see me with a
wedding band while on a business trip by myself. In my own experience,
females seem to trust married men a little more.

(yes, we both realize how politically incorrect that sounds, but it's just
business and we use whatever advantage we can I will dress up in
a gorilla suit and dance if that will help me land a million-dollar account)
