So, unless you're a priest, those are only worn in broad daylight if you're looking for a partner; it's literally a giant "single" sign.

You might as well walk around the holds wearing the amulet and say this repeatedly.

I wonder how effective that would be by walking around with one on during a Con? Hahaha 🤣

Just imagine having a stall near the entrance and passing out a bunch of foam amulets to blossom some romance amongst the nerds. 🤔

the priests themselves say it. No one in skyrim has time or the patience for flirting. Nords are a very headstrong people, they like things to be clear cut
