Women have found a new ingenious method to catch out married men who are actively trying to cheat on their partners.
Cheating is not something that anyone wants to experience in a relationship, but sadly, many people do.
People have found out that their partners are cheating on them using various methods in the past - following them, hiring a PI, going through their cell phones.
But have you ever considered the use of glitter?
Well, content creator Dalia Grande shared a clip of herself getting ready for a date, wearing a black dress and spraying glitter all over her body.
“Going on a first date [because] I’m at the age where they could be married (married men HATE glitter),” she wrote in the video. She captioned the post: “Just to be safe.”
The theory behind the trend suggests that if a man is married, he would avoid getting intimate, fearing that the glitter would transfer onto him and expose his actions to his wife.
Seems fairly understandable, glitter does get everywhere.
Grande’s tactic quickly gained traction, with many TikTok users praising the idea and considering trying it themselves.
“She’s protecting herself and helping other women out I’m here for it,” one person commented.
Another admitted: “I hated glitter before I got married, but this is actually a pretty good idea, girl.”
Others found humor in the strategy.
“Ma’am. First off, you’re gorgeous. Secondly, you’re a genius. Lastly, how glittery is your hallway? lol,” one user wrote.
“That amount of glitter spray will repel married men, mosquitoes, bears and vampires,” another joked.
This isn’t the first time glitter has been used as a tool in dating and relationships. Several TikTok users have previously shared methods of using glitter to test a partner’s fidelity.
One viral example featured a woman placing glitter in the sun visor of her boyfriend’s car to see if an unsuspecting passenger - possibly touching up her makeup - would unknowingly reveal her presence.
Others in Grande’s comments shared their own techniques for catching cheaters.
“Many married men are named on the same car insurance as their wife. Check the glove box for too many names on the insurance card; could be his mom, or ex-wife… maybe,” one person suggested.
Another shared a past experience, writing: “One time I sprayed my perfume while I was in a guy’s car and he got mad because he wouldn’t be able to get the smell out before he picked up his next date. Stay safe ladies.”
Ideally, people won't cheat on each other in the first place... but perhaps glitter is the answer.
