One thing I noticed is after a woman is divorced she almost always dyes her hair and wears tighter clothing. I remember as a teen seeing a friend's mom at a gas station once. This woman always worse not tight jeans or skirts, modest tops, and her hair in a bun. Think like Ma Ingalls but with baggy Kmart jeans. So we see her at the gas station about six months after she left her husband (which she had good reason to) and hair is down, dyed & permed, long fake nails, makeup, jean shorts and a tight top, and she has a boyfriend. OK that was twenty years ago. I saw the same thing recently with a co-worker. She was a normal Protestant homeschooling mom, we talked a little about curriculum here and there, so she leaves her husband, she is like pray for my kids you understand, next thing I see her in tight jean shorts, blond hair, and a tight t-shirt hanging on a man. Mom in our homeschool group, same thing, her husband wants a separation, I see a couple months later, highlights, no more ponty tail, new hair cut, we are out in public and this man starts trying to pick her up (she is really striking) and she is like smiling away agreeing for him to call her, her 16 yo son is just sitting there.
I know I've been upsold to get a hair color before one of the few times I've gone in for a haircut, so maybe it's not intentional, but I do see the pattern. It's like the world is just waiting to "convert" this women who have been chaste once they no longer live with their husband.
