Single women are using Hinge to get their furniture built by matches — for free: ‘It felt like getting the boyfriend experience on a first date’
NY Post
Move over, Mr. Right — Gen Z gals are looking for Mr. Fix-It.
Savvy single ladies in NYC and beyond are treating the dating app Hinge like a handyman service —updating their profiles on the trendy pair-off platform to say they can be “won over” by a man who can help them install, well, hinges.
Dinner and drinks? Later for that — these practical women on the prowl say the ideal “first date” includes hex keys and hammer drills.
“I feel like guys need a little job or mission, and then they feel so happy. They’re like a golden retriever [dog] — they accomplished something and are happy to help,” Hinge habitué Storm Halestrap, 24, of Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn, told The Post of the “Bob the Builder” trend.
The professional photographer participated in the handyman-hustling Hinge hack on social media, posting a video —albeit a cheeky one — back in April that showed a man crouched on the floor assembling a wooden table with a drill.
“POV: You get your Hinge date to build your new TikTok shop furniture,” the caption read.
