New dating app fraud

There's the already established practice of "I only matched with him for free food". Now imagine finding out she was just using you for your work connections so she could bypass your HR department and interview directly for a job?

Most people use dating apps to find love. Tiffany Chau used one to hunt for a summer internship. This fall, the 20-year-old junior at California College of the Arts tailored her Hinge profile to connect with people who could offer job referrals or interviews. One match brought her to a Halloween party, where she networked in hopes of landing a product-design internship for the summer. While there, she got some tips from someone who had recently interviewed at Accenture. As for the connection with her date? Not so much. "I feel like my approach to the dating apps is it being another networking platform like everything else, like Instagram or LinkedIn," Chau said.
Chau is among a cadre of workers who are using dating apps to boost their job searches. They're recognizing that the online job hunt is broken as unemployed workers flood the system, AI screens out resumes and many job matching programs are overwhelmed. Automation has squeezed human contact out of hiring, which has pushed applicants to seek any path to a live hiring manager, no matter the means.
The overall US unemployment rate continued to climb throughout 2025, reaching 4.6%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And while the number of unemployed high school graduates held steady at about 4.4% in November, the rate for workers with a bachelor's degree rose to 2.9% from 2.5% a year ago. About a third of dating app users said they had sought matches for job hook-ups, according to a ResumeBuilder.com survey of about 2,200 US dating site customers in October. Two-thirds targeted potential paramours who worked at a desirable employer. Three-quarters said they matched with people working in roles they wanted.

If a chick needs a job that bad I ain't fricking with her unless she's an OT 9 or above in which case I'm pulling up in a rental car and using a burner to text her. Life

And that, my friends, is how you wind up in a situationship.

Honestly, considering how broken the job market is right now, I have to appreciate the hustle.

Talkin' 'bout you usin' people
It all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're usin' me
'Cause I sure am usin' you to do the things that you do
Ah-huh, to do the things that you do

It ain't too bad the way you're usin' me
'Cause I sure am usin' you to do the things that you do
Ah-huh, to do the things that you do

So glad I never had to use dating apps. 
Im too gullible to use something like that. Id end up with a 3 legged tranny who would take my boat and all my money

People obsessed with their work/career are some of the most narcissistic sacks of shite.

Not bad. You’re lying if you say you wouldn’t hit it

NGL, she looks better than I thought she would based on the story details.

My post wasn't really a comment on her looks (favorable or unfavorable) so much as it was providing more info on somebody those of you on the apps probably should avoid. Of all the dating app things that sound awful, somebody using them to find people to use for their work connections seems like a new one to add to the list. My wife and I have been together for a long time, but those of you out there today trying to find someone for something real and lasting, good luck, it seems like every year there's a new pile of dating dogcrap to avoid stepping it.
