No clue where this belongs, so I put this in the newbie forum.
Last night I was at a friends house and we were hanging out, and one of them asked what's going on with me. There were a few girls there, one of which I had a slight interest in, so I said "oh it's complicated".
Later I did tell my buddy the details, but I was also thinking that the girls who meet me would find out about my divorce sooner or later assuming they're with me longer than a few dates/bangs.
Most divorces are initiated by women, but in my case, I initiated the divorce. So I was wondering if that is the key to DHV when I need to.
For example, I could frame it as "she was not faithful and honest with me, so I divorced her and never looked back." (Of course, if a guy says that his wife divorced HIM, that would be torpedoing his own value, but that's not the case here).
I expect most women will give me a standard blue pill reply: "Oh I'm sorry, but yeah you deserve better than that, you'll find someone better!"
But my question is, what covert message would I send by saying that she cheated on me and I cut her out of my life? I can think of two possibilities (at least subconsciously):
A) "Hmm, if a girl cheated on him, then he must be doing something wrong, or something is wrong with him... smells like a red flag"
B) "Wow, now here's someone who doesn't take any shit from anyone! Here's an alpha, I ought to take a closer look at this guy..."
Which is more likely for women to think, at least on a subconscious level - A or B? Or maybe something else entirely?
