Married men wear a ring to the office?

[MarkS]

They don't know enough about it to respect it.

Unless you have a 5 minute discussion about it explaining gender separation in our community and  that you do respect women etc. (which I have discussed with people who ask for further info or people I work with every day).

It's an especially difficult conversation being that I'm a dentist. "How can you be my dentist if you can't even touch me???"

friend of mine once told me he could supervise swimming because "bmlachto tarid". So I asked him if he found in practice that it was true. He pretended not to understand the question.

I've gotten more tactful. Just a bit.

r' berkowitz has a teshuva about this. if he was truly doing his job it would be allowed, (ie i asked if there were kids at the pool and there really is a sakana possible). but as rabbi berkowitz nicely put it, he highly doubts there doing there job....

From that point of view a lifeguard should be stricter because Libo Gas Bah

I didn't realize I "owned" my wife

See ritva reish kiddushin, I think daf daled

So if the lifeguard is wearing a ring and she's immoral then maybe it's "Liba Gas Bo".
I was trying to combine all the conversations under the sun this topic

[daganster]

Rings were worn by Jewish men in tanach and the Talmud.

Though not as a sign of ownership by their wives like it is by today's "men"...

+1 That's the issue. Rings the yemenite men wore in Yemen were for beauty, not ownership.

[Ergel]

Do you guys know what libo gas bah means?

+1 CRMIIW but its a degree of familiarity.

Exactly. What does that have to do with being a lifeguard

They are using the literal meaning not in a halachic context I guess

You have a good point, but my dentist/doctor does not shake my hand at all, and he's a man.
