I just put out the "married guy" vibe and never have any issues.
Call me inexperienced, but I feel like the only way youd run into issues is if you were looking for issues. Just be a decent person and that's pretty much all that's required.

In other words, don’t be a jerk. If you’re married, act like your wife is watching. If you’re single, act like your boss is watching.
When I got my first leadership position, my supervising sergeant said “treat people like your commander and their mother are both watching, and you’ll never go wrong.”
You can be taskmaster and critique performance humanely and productively, while not being insulting. You can be a leader who team-builds without crossing any lines.
Or, you can not build those skills. Each of us should choose what works best for us. But it’s a little ridiculous to hear men whine about not having power when — if you ask around — each of us is surrounded by sisters, wife’s, mothers and girlfriends who’ve been demeaned, groped, harassed and abused without recourse for decades because “boys will be boys.”
Time to grow up, men.
