A woman who claims to be “homeless” has revealed that she uses dating apps to sleep at men’s houses.
Now, with the housing crisis really having a chokehold on many countries around the world, many have been looking for alternative ways to keep a roof over their heads – but this one has got to be the most creative yet.
Emily Webb from Australia‘s Gold Coast thinks she has it all figured out after claiming to combat homelessness with a date or two… or ten.
The 25-year-old took to TikTok to reveal what she likes to refer to as a “life hack”, stating: “If you’re new here, I’m homeless.”
“This is one of my boyfriends’ places,” she continued, referring to the apartment she was in at the time of the video. “…But I can’t believe I was wasting my money on rent all this time.
“Life hack: If you’re hot, do not ever pay rent. You can literally just go on Hinge and stay at a different guy’s place for free every single night.”
Hmm, meeting a random man on Hinge and going to his place immediately… sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
But hey, I guess it works for some.
Webb told her followers that she was going to continue with this trend and see how far it takes her, documenting her journey along the way.
She added that she only does it for a few nights before she’s overstayed her welcome and is back to sleeping in her car.
Speaking to News.com.au, she opened up about her surprisingly easy way of getting through life.
“I’ve been on dating apps finding different guys’ places to stay with, and it is going surprisingly well,” she told the outlet. “I don’t usually tell them. I don’t want to put pressure on anyone. I don’t mention that I’m homeless, and I don’t think I look homeless.”
The influencer, who also does risqué street interviews, noted that she has a handful of friends in the area, but she doesn’t want to “burden” them.
“I have so many friends on the Gold Coast, but I don’t want to overstay my welcome or be a burden, but I don’t mind being a burden to random men,” she added.
However, her plans quickly went downhill as she recently took to TikTok to reveal that some men were catching onto her tactics, and she’s back to sleeping in her car or resorting to asking friends for a favor.
She’s also giving the Hinge thing a break – a good idea if I ever did hear one, as – let’s be honest – going to strangers’ homes can be pretty dangerous.
Let’s hope she can manage to get some cash together with the earnings from social media and put a deposit down on somewhere safe.
