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)
I would concur with your assessment regarding your experience as a male wearing a wedding band. I have no experience with females leaving theirs at home though!
