Female TikTok Users Ditch Dating Apps, Go Husband-Hunting at Home Depot
Well this is bizarre.
I don’t know how men feel about being flirted with when they’re out on tasks like shopping, but most women hate this. Most women don’t want men staring at them or flirting with them if they’re shopping or at a gym.
Considering that churches have gender imbalances that favor single men, if you’re a single Christian woman, you may have more luck meeting a single guy at a Home Dept – God knows you won’t meet many eligible single men at any churches. The men who do attend churches are pedophiles or perverts or abusers.

…Could Home Depot be the destination to meet your future husband? If some TikTokers are to be believed, the retailer’s over 2,000 locations have become an unlikely spot to look for dates.
Of the many women on TikTok who say they’re “deleting the dating apps in 2023,” some say they’re looking for love in a surprise location. “I’m headed to Home Depot to look confused in the lumber aisle.”
The humorous trend has been building for almost two years.
“Ladies, no joke, Home Depot is where you go if you want to meet a man,” TikTok user meganlouise217 said in a video in March 2021.

A recent fad has some young, single women on TikTok using their phones for more than just swiping right on dating apps like Bumble and Tinder. Instead, these girls are heading to home improvement stores like Home Depot to find a husband — and using the camera on their phone to chronicle their experiences.
Back in March 2021, user Megan Louise created a short video in which she claimed that she had just met three prospective husbands during a recent jaunt to the orange box store. “Home Depot is where you go if you want to meet a man,” she insisted.
Of course, Megan later admitted that those three men were likely already married, but her reasoning was still sound: Handy men, both single and taken, tend to frequent stores like Home Depot. According to Business Insider, the trend began about two years ago and has been growing ever since.
…Most of the videos appear to be filmed in jest, especially those with women asking employees to point them toward “the husband aisle.” But the general idea still indicates that some women may be ditching dating apps in favor of meeting men in person, just as some reports suggest that the popularity of dating apps may be in decline.
