She put a ring on it.
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.”
