四十七歲的菲奧娜•布盧姆對(duì)在Tinder上找到一個(gè)合適的約會(huì)對(duì)象不再抱幻想，因此她決定換換樣。

‘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?’

她告訴《紐約郵報(bào)》：“我試過(guò)閃電約會(huì)以及各種交友軟件。但是每次我把自己的真實(shí)年齡放上去，我找到的不是白癡就是失敗者。我就想，為什么不讓他們變得有用，讓他們幫我在家里做點(diǎn)事兒?”

“男性給人的感覺(jué)就是強(qiáng)壯，應(yīng)該養(yǎng)家糊口。我不覺(jué)得讓他們幫點(diǎn)小忙有什么問(wèn)題，” 她對(duì)《紐約郵報(bào)》說(shuō)。

‘In less than 15 minutes I got eleven matches and three offers,’ she said, referring to a Tinder request she posted that read: ‘Looking for someone to shovel out my car. Nothing complicated, no strings attached, just please shovel out my car. Thanks so much.’

“不到十五分鐘我就有十一次配對(duì)成功，還有三個(gè)人愿意幫忙。”她在Tinder上的請(qǐng)求是這樣的：“想要找人幫忙把我的車鏟出來(lái)。事情不難，也沒(méi)有任何附加條件，只是想請(qǐng)人幫我把車從雪里鏟出來(lái)。太感謝了!”

Ted, the first volunteer, showed up ‘with a shovel and an ice pick and did not kill me,’ she said.

泰德是第一個(gè)愿意幫忙的人，“他過(guò)來(lái)時(shí)手持鐵鍬和冰鎬，并沒(méi)有對(duì)我造成傷害”，扎爾金德如是說(shuō)。

In fact, he freed her car and appeared to be happy as a reward with coffee and scones. After a second storm, she was less lucky.

實(shí)際上，泰德幫她把車解救出來(lái)，并且對(duì)收到咖啡和烤餅作為報(bào)答感到高興。但在第二次遇到暴風(fēng)雪后，扎爾金德就沒(méi)那么幸運(yùn)了。

‘I made 74 right swipes, got 35 matches, and 11 offers to shovel,’ she wrote. ‘There were only two reliable contenders.

Expert opinion was split over whether the App should be used to choose men for odd jobs rather than romance.

手機(jī)軟件是應(yīng)該用來(lái)選擇男人讓他們做奇奇怪怪的事情，還是開始一段浪漫情緣，專家們對(duì)此意見不一。

Dating site expert Marni Kinrys said she couldn’t see the harm as long as the woman was upfront about her practical needs, saying: ‘If a man thinks waxing a woman’s floors will get him action, why not? This could be a great starting point for both parties to get to know each other.’

交友網(wǎng)站專家馬尼•金瑞思認(rèn)為女性坦誠(chéng)自己的實(shí)際需求，這并沒(méi)有任何危害：“如果一個(gè)男人愿意幫女人的地板打蠟，那為什么不讓他幫忙?這會(huì)是讓雙方了解對(duì)方的一個(gè)好的開始。”

Los Angeles-based dating coach Evan Marc Katz wasn’t so sure.‘It just seems so transparently selfish,’ he said. ‘It’s equivalent to the guy who has sex with a stranger and never calls her again.

洛杉磯的約會(huì)教練艾文•馬爾克•卡茨卻不那么認(rèn)為：“這顯然很自私，就像有些男人和陌生人發(fā)生關(guān)系但卻再也不會(huì)再找那個(gè)女孩。”

‘You get the wrong guy on the wrong day, and he has anger issues and yeah - it could be a bad situation,’ Katz told the Post.

“如果哪天你找錯(cuò)了人，他有情緒管理問(wèn)題，那情況就很糟糕了。”卡茨這樣告訴《紐約郵報(bào)》。

Kinrys warned men not to try the same trick by swiping right to get women over to cook or do the ironing.

金瑞思警告男性不要使用相同的技巧，刷軟件只為讓女性過(guò)來(lái)幫忙燒飯或燙衣服。

‘I know no single woman in New York City who would ever do a man’s chores…they should go on Craigslist instead.’

“據(jù)我所知紐約沒(méi)有一個(gè)單身女性會(huì)幫男人做家務(wù)……男人們應(yīng)該去克雷格列表網(wǎng)上找。”
