Hey guys. Welcome back to another episode of The Self-Confidence Project. I’m your host, Kimberly. Today I wanna share with you the secret hack that divorced men know about dating. Are you one of these men? Now, understandably, many men that have been through very stressful or traumatic divorces truly believe that it’s going to dampen, hinder, or harm their chances at finding.
Love again and here is the ultimate truth. Divorce can and can is the operative word that I’m using here. Divorce can give you a secret advantage at dating. If you understand what I’m gonna be sharing with you in today’s video, you see men that are divorced that ultimately are reflecting and growing and learning from their [00:01:00] prior relationship, end up becoming some of the most attractive men in the dating world.
Not because they’ve had a divorce, but because they know what it takes. They’ve lived it. They’ve failed, they’ve grown, and they’ve become wiser for it. And that’s what I’m gonna be unpacking in today’s video. But also later in this video, I’m gonna be sharing with you five statements that men who have learned from their divorce make that instantly show.
A woman that you have in fact matured. And these types of statements are what women will find incredibly attractive as they date you and get to know you. So stick with me because this isn’t just about surviving a divorce. It’s ultimately about how you can thrive after one Now. [00:02:00] Naturally divorce isn’t the end, although it feels like the end for a lot of people.
There is healing and space that needs to take place here, especially before you get out dating, but it can help you begin a dating journey that sets you apart from other men. Now, most divorced men will think to themselves. Mm, I am some kind of damaged goods or women aren’t going to want me now that my life is the way it is now, or I really don’t feel like I have anything left to offer.
And understandably, we go through. Really traumatic emotions after divorce. It’s akin to some of the biggest life stressors a person can go through. But in reality, divorce can be the very thing that shapes you into a man who knows how to love deeply and can [00:03:00] lead confidently. Now, to give you some contrast, right?
When men get a divorce, they might inadvertently become the kind of man that’s very complaint driven. So this type of man says things like, you know, my ex absolutely destroyed me, and women are all the same. And dating apps are just a joke. So this is a man who has been hurt to a degree that he is blaming and complaining about his past women in general, the dating scene at large.
Contrast this with a man who is more growth oriented. He’s a growth driven man. He’s the kind of man that is going to realize that this divorce, while it had painful pain in it, right, we’re not [00:04:00] as trying to escape or diminish that these things are painful, but this man is gonna say, divorce taught me patience.
It taught me that. I need to be more clear in my communication, and it taught me the importance of why you need a robust and deep friendship with your partner to withstand the trials and tribulations. So when women hear these men, they hear the difference immediately. One is stuck in bitterness and the other man radiates maturity.
And this is why. This is the secret hack that works. Now, women are not attracted to men who are perfect. There isn’t a perfect man out there, just like there isn’t a perfect woman out there. But women are very much attracted to men who have grown from imperfection. Who are [00:05:00] never stopping the learning process and it’s growth minded men that demonstrate things like resilience, humility, leadership, which.
Uh, on their own are highly attractive qualities, but they’re more deeply attractive because these qualities signal stability. They signal trustworthiness, which are things that women are gonna be looking for as they date, again, after a divorce or after the end of a long-term relationship. It’s like. Wood, right wood that has been through fire.
There’s something stronger, more beautiful about that. It’s more interesting than something that has been untouched. Right? So women are attracted to men who have experience and men who have learnt and grown from that experience, right? Versus men. Who haven’t [00:06:00] grown and end up searching or dating women to try and fix or fulfill ’em.
And most women are gonna reject that idea because they don’t want men that feel like rehab centers, right? They want a partnership, someone who is on a journey of growth with ’em. Now, many of you men who are mature, who are already. Embodying this kind of secret hack are going to very quickly recognize women who are looking for a savior versus women who are looking for a partnership.
You’ll be able to recognize it the other way around. So how do you actually learn to frame your story after divorce because women are listening for this framing and how you as an individual. Talk about your past ultimately reveals your emotional maturity, so. [00:07:00] If you’re the complainer and you say things like, my ex was totally crazy, um, that is framed very differently than a man who says, I learned communication really has to go both ways, and I recognize that I wasn’t always great at that.
So the tip here, guys, is when you share your story. As ultimately a journey of lessons versus a journey of blame. This ultimately will make you incredibly magnetic because women can sense this humility and ownership that you are taking. Now, I’ve seen this play out, this complaint versus growth, um, oriented man, especially on dating apps, right?
If I work with a client and I see that in his dating app, he’s still putting. Some kind of passive aggressive dig at his ex or a little bit of, um, you know, mistrust towards women as a whole. Then it’s understandable that this man is [00:08:00] not quite ready to be dating. He’s not quite healed because healing the healing journey and really healing and processing from your divorce, you will get to a point of acceptance and growth and learning your own lessons.
So this is why I say in many of my other videos is really hugely important that you. Understand your role in that divorce. You learn some of your lessons. You recognize your strengths in that relationship, uh, equally as you recognize your own weaknesses and begin working on both of those areas, make your strengths even stronger and, and, you know, and.
Make your weaknesses less weak ultimately, so that you don’t end up in a, a relationship where you repeat the patterns. Even if you think you’ve chosen a radically different woman, you are just still gonna show up the same way. So this leads me to talk about the types of statements that. If you’re a healed [00:09:00] man who is seeking growth and is looking for a true partner, naturally you’re gonna be saying these types of things anyways.
But if you recognize that you’re not saying these types of things, um, this isn’t about blaming you or making you feel bad, it’s just about helping you realize where you are in this post-divorce journey. It’s not a straight line. Healing is not a straight line, and you may need to actually spend some time doing some deep self-reflection and learning from your divorce before you’re actually ready to meet a partner.
Who’s gonna help you grow the loving, deeply committed relationship that you’re gonna want to be seeking, or that you might want to be seeking? So the types of statements that women find attractive and are also representative of where you are in your healing journey are things such as, I’ve learned that relationships are very much built on friendship and dating.
Your partner really should never stop. Right? [00:10:00] It’s a lesson of growth and reflection. It’s a statement that ultimately encapsulates that. You might also say something to the effect of, you know, my past relationships really taught me the importance of listening before reacting, and it’s something that I am constantly working on.
Right? That shows that you’re learning, that you’re open to growth, right? You might say something like, I believe in. Relationships always needing to create new experiences together because this novelty and these memories ultimately become the glue of a relationship. Maybe this is something you’re gonna be learning, right?
Or you might ha say something to the effect of, I’ve learned that honesty is easier than pretending even when it’s deeply uncomfortable. You might have learned that in your past relationship you [00:11:00] wanted to say something, but you were afraid of hurting your partner’s feelings, so you shoved it under the rug only to realize that your relationship ended by death by a thousand cuts.
So you’re actually reflecting and learning that being honest, even if it might seem hurtful in the moment, is better than pretending, right? Because if you’re pretending you are taking a step away from the truth of your relationship, and if you take too many steps away, the relationship ends. Right. Or you might say something to the effect of, I really now know that love is not about finding somebody perfect.
It’s actually about building something strong together and recognizing that the building of something together is gonna highlight the good and the bad that we’re gonna need to navigate in a relationship. So these types of phrases, I wanna give you examples because these types of phrases signal you’re [00:12:00] maturing, you’re taking accountability, you are reflecting enough on the emotional dynamics of the relationships to signal that you have a level of emotional maturity.
And they show leadership. They show that you’re not afraid to say. There are places I need to do better, and I’m not here to blame the other person entirely for the demise of the relationship. I’m taking ownership and saying if I want my next relationship to be different than the one that I got out of, I know I need to do things differently too.
So this is the secret hat, because when you turn your divorce into ultimately like a comeback story. It’s that men who are really desirable in post-divorce dating know that their lessons have become their leverage, and that things like rejection or past relationship failures or [00:13:00] mistakes that they have made are not.
Weaknesses, they’re actually signs that you are evolving as a person. And honestly, that’s what we all are seeking in relationships. If we have outdated notions, we might be trying to find a perfect match, but if we have realistic notions of dating, we’re looking for someone that will continuously grow with us.
And that can take self responsibility. And that’s what women want, especially women that have been through divorces themselves and are going on this. Same journey of realizing that they need to grow and evolve. They’re gonna be seeking a man that’s open to growing and evolving too. They want a man who knows himself, a man who has done his hard healing, which isn’t easy.
It’s not something you do in one day or one journal prompt. You don’t heal from a 10, 15, 20, 30 year marriage, you know, overnight because you just decided, okay, now I’m healed. [00:14:00] You know, healing process is gonna look differently for different people and it’s gonna take different time for different people.
So it’s about going through your healing journey, honestly, going through your healing journey. Um, and as a result of that, being able to offer depth and not just surface charm to women. So. Guys know that your divorce doesn’t make you less desirable. It very much makes you human. And when you heal, truly heal from your relationship and you learn to frame it right, it actually makes you incredibly magnetic.
So here’s the question for you guys. Are you still at a point in your post-divorce healing journey where you are living in complaint? Right. You’re still kind of blaming angry at your partner, understandably. This is part of the grieving process. It’s not to be skipped. You still need to go through this or have you moved through [00:15:00] it, and are you ready to use your lessons of growth and stories to fuel something better in the future?
Because the most attractive men are not the ones that have never been hurt or haven’t had. Relationships that didn’t work out. They are the ones who have been hurt, who have learned from that and have made a decision to grow even stronger as a result of that. And so I wanna mention, as I didn’t mention, the kind of opening of this video that.
If you are a man who is coming out of a divorce separation and you’re still in that period of needing to heal, and you need some guidance as to how to do that, so you can genuinely come out the other end and say, I’ve, I’ve looked on that at that relationship. I’ve unpacked the lessons. I now know who I am at this point in my life and what I need to be working on to cultivate and attract the relationship I truly desire.[00:16:00]
Um, then you’re gonna find lots of my videos here on YouTube. Incredibly helpful for that. If you wanna go and dive in deeper, you feel connected to the way that I speak in my videos, you wanna, you know, book a complimentary consultation to see if we are a right fit. You’re welcome to do that too. The links are in the show notes.
You can head to my website if you’re not quite ready yet. That’s totally understandable, and that’s what I do. I help good hearted men navigate, uh. Modern dating landscape to truly attract the right types of partners and ultimately become the right types of partners so that you don’t have to worry about modern dating.
You can actually start building the beautiful relationship that you are truly desiring. So thanks very much for sticking, uh, around for today’s video. I hope that this helped to. Ultimately helped you frame where you’re at and learn that framing is hugely important for how you navigate post divorce dating.[00:17:00]
And uh, I would love to hear your thoughts and comments below on what you think of the content today.
Where you’re kind of at in your healing journey, the lessons you’ve actually learned from your prior relationships, share those below because we all need wisdom in this world and we can share that wisdom with other people based on the things that you have been through.
’cause all relationship dynamics are quite unique, and so there’s definitely something to be learned from other people’s. Experiences, difficulties or what has actually bonded you and your partner really close together and made your relationship or parts of that past relationship really amazing and really thrive.
Sometimes it’s just about doing more of what is good and less of what hasn’t been more in relationships and order to make them a successful.
So thanks very much for tuning in guys to this Week’s podcast and look forward to bringing you another one next week. Ciao.
