Disillusioned by her efforts to find a suitable date on Tinder, one user, Fiona Bloom, 47, decided to try another tack.
四十七岁的菲奥娜•布卢姆对在Tinder上找到一个合适的约会对象不再抱幻想,因此她决定换换样.
'I've tried speed dating and all the dating Apps, but every time I put my real age, all I get are idiots and losers,' she told the New York Post.'I figured, why not make them useful and have them help me around the house?'
她告诉《纽约邮报》："我试过闪电约会以及各种交友软件.但是每次我把自己的真实年龄放上去,我找到的不是白痴就是失败者.我就想,为什么不让他们变得有用,让他们帮我在家里做点事儿？"
She found a match with a man wearing overalls and wielding a hammer in his profile photo and invited him over to install her air conditioning.

'I wasn't attracted to him, but he was very forthcoming,' she explained.

After he successfully carried out the installation, Bloom asked him to leave and didn't answer his messages asking her to go on a proper date.

'Men are hard-wired to feel strong and be a provider, she told the New York Post. 'I don't feel guilty using them for a little help.'
