A woman who conducts "loyalty tests" on men at the request of their girlfriends has shared a disastrous result which has ruined her faith in guys.
Honey regularly shares clips of her DMs to her TikTok account, @honeysplce, where she reveals if the men have passed or failed.
One encounter, posted at the end of December, amassed more than 2.6 million views, and can be seen here, as Honey said: "I almost ran out of town but this one was insane. I'm never trusting a man again."
As with all her videos, she starts by sharing the message from the suspicious girlfriend, or wife, as they give Honey their partner's Instagram details, as well any background information needed to make the sting plausible.
In the clip, the wife reveals she and her husband have been together for nine years, but she says: "Recently he's been really sneaky and staying at work late so I'm suspicious of him."
Statistics from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) claimed data from 2017 show on average American men cheat more than women, 20 per cent compared with 13, citing the General Social Survey (GSS).
And that seems to be a precedent, as they noted: "Trend data going back to the 1990s suggest that men have always been more likely than women to cheat."
After getting all his details, Honey shoots him a message, telling him he's cute. At first he says: "Well thank you very much for the compliment. You are aware I have a family?"
They strike up a conversation, with Honey stressing, referring to the wife: "She was telling me everything to say so I was not saying this on my own."
The man initially seems faithful, as he says: "I cannot have a conversation with you. I'm sorry."
But after around 40 minutes he follows it up with: "You are very beautiful. I can't help but look at your page."

"I wanted to be as dry as I could, that way if he was making any moves it was on him and not me," the 20-year-old clarified.
As they chatted, the man began to change his tune, saying: "I do have a wife, but there is no harm in having a new friend."
Which he later followed up with: "I would never cheat on my wife but a young girl like you makes me want to."
Things progressed, and the man wanted to meet Honey, and after she told him where she was—with information given by the wife—he said it was "very tempting."
After he asks to meet, Honey reminds him: "I'm not sure if that's appropriate considering you have a wife."
But he says "she doesn't mind me having friends though," then sends the location for a Starbucks to meet, in Phoenix, Arizona.
"I'll be honest I keep thinking of you," he tells her as they arrange to meet the next day.

Honey signs off by saying she'll meet him there, as she relayed everything to his wife.
It seems the man turned up, as he messaged Honey: "Want to meet you inside or would you like to meet at my truck?"
People were suitably horrified in the comments, with Emma admitted: "Nine years down the drain... a whole family.... this just scares me to ever get married."
TeAroha remarked: "A man is only as faithful as his options."
Christina thought: "They're all dogs, I don't care what anyone says."
While Mia Bentley added: "The way he tried for 4 seconds and then immediately gave up."
People were desperate to know how things panned out, and in a part two Honey revealed things took a weird turn.
She shared another message, claiming to be from the wife, where she heaped the blame on Honey.
She asked Honey to block her husband, saying: "It's your fault. You tempted him. I know I wanted to do this but you took it too far. My husband and I are happy. This was a mistake."
The IFS noted that among "ever-married" adults who have cheated on their spouses, 40 per cent are divorced or separated.
They added: "By comparison, only 17 percent of adults who were faithful to their spouse are no longer married. On the flip side, only about half of "cheaters" are currently married, compared with 76 percent of those who did not cheat."
Newsweek reached out to Honey for comment.
