“That’s Genius”: Single Women Are Using Glitter To “Protect” Themselves From Cheating Men Before Dates

A woman shared a simple yet effective way to spot a cheater on the first date.

Content creator Dalia Grande covers herself in glitter from head to toe because she knows cheating men would never want their girlfriends to notice glitter on their clothes.

“Going on a first date because I’m at the age where they could be married (Married men HATE glitter),” she wrote over a video of herself applying the anti-cheater spray.

“Just to be safe,” Dalia added.

The Texas native’s hack received over 15 million views on TikTok, sparking discussions among viewers about the effectiveness of the technique and whether they would implement it themselves.

“What an idea. You’re saving women with this one,” one user wrote.

“Damn, I’m gonna start wearing glitter and hugging my man before he goes out 😂😂 Uno reverse😂😁” another said.

“Yessss that’s a good idea… 38 getting back into dating again… no doubt this is a good hack. Smarrrtttt,” a separate user expressed.

“She’s protecting herself and helping other women out. I’m here for it,” applauded someone else.

Another group thought the idea was just too messy and would inevitably end up repelling single men, too.

“I’m not married but if you came into my car with all that glitter I’d be upset,” one man shared.

An additional user wrote: “Ok but I’m single and I can’t stand glitter?”

“I’m not married and I hate glitter because it gets everywhere and never leaves,” another agreed.

“Everyone hates glitter. But married guys will avoid contact with it. (Which is the point),” someone else pointed out.

Meanwhile, user Ballistic Truth shared his own tip for spotting a cheater: “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.”

In a follow-up video, Dalia revealed that she decided to cover herself in glitter because her date claimed he had no social media accounts, which she thought was the perfect excuse for a cheating man not wanting to reveal photos of his wife.

Dalia’s video sparked another debate focused on the appropriateness of her outfit for a first date.

“That is a wild dress for a first date,” a critic commented.

“That dress, while stunning, seems way over the top for a first date,” someone else agreed.

However, Dalia clarified that her date had asked her to wear a black dress because he had booked a reservation at a fancy Italian restaurant.

Dalia knows married men’s wives would find it suspicious if they came home with their clothes covered in glitterWoman with glitter on her back, wearing a striped top, showcasing a trend among single women to protect against cheating men.

“The reason I chose to wear that dress is that he specifically asked me to wear a tight black dress and even mentioned, ‘If you don’t have one, I’m not gonna spoil you yet.’

“Usually, on first dates, I don’t wear that. I wear something comfortable, casual.”

In another video, Dalia shared that she didn’t like the man enough for a second date due to several red flags in his behavior.

However, others said glitter gets everywhere and would deter single men, too

“Wearing the black dress wasn’t the first request he wanted. Before the date, he sent me a photo of a frame that he saw at a steakhouse and it was a picture of a red-headed cowgirl and he wanted to replicate it. It was too soon.”

After the date, he became upset when Dalia silenced her phone before bed to avoid being disturbed by notifications from her viral video. He also questioned whether she was seeing another man, claiming that the name “Louis” had randomly come to mind.

A separate group wasn’t too interested in the anti-cheating hack or Dalia’s outfit but was instead captivated by her incredibly toned legs, accentuated by her black dress with high slits.

“Drop the leg day routine immediately. I demand it (respectfully, please),” one netizen wrote. In response, the content creator shared a fitness video recorded at the gym.
