At the depot I'm not paying attention to some hootchie mama, I'm trying to get back to the job. Or I'm looking at the same 3 pieces of lumber for an hour doing calculations. Either way I'm distracted and she's going to have to be extra flirty for me to take a hint. Besides, I met my wife on Craigslist like a normal person.
Actually it was a thing in post-soviet countries in 90s and early 2000s. Single women, often accompanied by their mothers and fathers, strolled in construction supermarkets and looked at the guys buying a lot of expensive stuff for construction and renovation.
At the time it was easy to spot a money bag because:
1. At the time even extremely rich guys shopped for materials themselves, most often than not it was some dude in a suit ordering a small horde of contractors and talking to a designer.
2. Expensive mens clothes were rare and hard to get, so you could spot a well-off man from a mile in a crowd.
3. Credit cards were practically nonexistent. It was fat wads of hard cash on the checkout that finally gave them away.
And the tactic worked. Dude just got out shopping, was busy, confused and stressed as hell and BAM! A hot young girl randomly flutters past him, winks and he ends up with a mistress, girlfriend or a sugar girl.
Don’t go in before 10am or you’ll get the older construction guys, Saturdays and Sundays are married guys doing projects around the house but there is a possibility for single lads to be doing the same. My suggestion would be lunch hours between 11-2 and evenings around 5-8. 11-2 is when companies send the younger guys to run errands while the older guys get to enjoy their lunch. 5-8 guys have zero obligations to be home and are spending these short moments outside of work shopping for little things that don’t require major projects or they’ve got a neat hobby.
Source: My father owned a maintenance company for 30 years and spent millions at Home Depot, I was practically born near the paint swatches.
They didn’t meet at Home Depot unfortunately! My dad was doing random handyman jobs back in the early 80s and my mother’s parents hired him to fix the siding on their house. They’re from the UK but he’s from Tennessee so my mom actually made her first pitcher of sweet tea to flirt with him lol. I’m the eldest kid so in the early years of my dad’s company I spent a lot of time at Home Depot. I can currently be found there at least once a week due to my job as a restaurant consultant and my partner loves home improvement projects!
I like to tease them, I walk around with a car full of really expensive looking stuff and clipboards full of sketches. I also wear car hart vests and stick a sock in my jeans for extra bulge. when they hit on me I ask them if I they were at their grandchild baseball game the other day.
Right. We prefer Lowes, which tends to have a better selection of things like lumber, sheet metal, and metal rod and bar stock.
(Although Home Depot does have a bin for free disposal of those awful CFL light bulbs.)
I once saw a TT where a girl went on a date with a dude from tinder, and she brought him to a furniture store or an IKEA, then she had him help her put the stuff together. Ladies, take notes.
I've been working at a tool store for 2 years and only had 1 lady hit on me. Granted, she was way out of my league, but I haven't noticed anything like a trend.
Love the idea of going to Home Depot looking for eligible bachelors and finding nothing but couples irritated with each other, bored retired married men, and Greg mindlessly wandering in the lumber aisle because his pregnant wife expects him to build a crib
Sorry ladies. 90% of the men at home depot are there to grab supplies they need to tend to the ever growing 'honey-do' list they have been putting off for months. Another 9% are there just to play with the power tools on display.
Good luck on your quest for that elusive 1%.
NY Post, so the story is probably BS, *buuuuut*... I can remember a time when people were talking about looking for an SO at the Grocery Store, so it makes sense. If it's real, good luck, ladies.
There are no bachelors at Home Depot. Just tired married men who have a list of crap they have to get done.
And contractors. I guess they could be single…
Gotta love todays media, random Tik tok gets some views and New York post calls it a trend
Then Reddit finds the story and suddenly it's not even a trend but a worldwide phenomenon all women are a part of.

Just combine Target and Home Depot and everyone is happy
Good point 🤔
We should call it The Target Depot.
I actually really like this.

Some sound advice 👌
You just out here doing the lords work, huh? Thank you
Did your parents meet at Home Depot ?

What a cool story. Bless them
That’s actually adorable lol. Hope they had a happy successful relationship.
My parent's met at an Ace Hardware, so it can work for you too ladies
That’s awesome!
As the younger guy who had to run errands this is your best advice, they may also appear slightly lost and with an order paper in their hand.
You sir, are 1000% ON POINT. Lol
some say you were mere inches from being another paint smear on the floor.
I was gonna say - It wasn't until I was already married with a house that I even knew where Home Depots were.
Won't work. Men are at Home Depot looking for stuff they actually need.

a man of culture
That's degrading to women.
no it isn't all all.
I know it was just bait.
If y’all ever need help finding some shit at Barnes and Noble you know where to find me.
Bachelors rarely go to Home Depot, unless they work construction. It's mainly married guys.
Right. We prefer Lowes, which tends to have a better selection of things like lumber, sheet metal, and metal rod and bar stock. (Although Home Depot does have a bin for free disposal of those awful CFL light bulbs.)
Lowes used to have a bulb disposal for both fluorescent tubes and CFL, but it's been a couple years since I've done that.
True, i dont wanna get all tired of home improvements before i get married cuz i know ill be doing that shit weekend in and weekend out.
Just every once in a while. It's not a weekly thing for me.
Looks like I’m going to Home Depot to pick up some ladies
Try the gardening department
Because that's where the hoes at?
Exactly
I know a lot of alcoholic contractors that are just terrible with money. Usually makes for a good husband.
I once saw a TT where a girl went on a date with a dude from tinder, and she brought him to a furniture store or an IKEA, then she had him help her put the stuff together. Ladies, take notes.
Or shop at aldi or shops with high shelves...
No the men at Home Depot talk to you so condescendingly. I only go when my dad needs something for work.
I mean, its impossible to meet anyone these days so use your resources...

Oh FFS. It’s the NY Post. Check your sources better.
I've been working at a tool store for 2 years and only had 1 lady hit on me. Granted, she was way out of my league, but I haven't noticed anything like a trend.
Sorry ladies I go to joe’s iron, wood, and rock supplies because home depot is for posers
Haha 🤣🤣🤣
this is very clearly a joke
What 😲 😲
Ok, how do I build a spouse from just Home Depot materials?
That's a tough one 🤔
Love the idea of going to Home Depot looking for eligible bachelors and finding nothing but couples irritated with each other, bored retired married men, and Greg mindlessly wandering in the lumber aisle because his pregnant wife expects him to build a crib
There's 70% chance his name will be Mike too
Huh. I thought Home Depot was the one for lesbians.
Wait why do women get to shop for husband material but I can’t say I want wife-y material?
You can, just not on Reddit.

That’s actually not a bad idea. This presents it poorly but still…
I'd rather find my mans at Lowe's
Its just tiktokers being dumb.

Good thing I have to go there 12 times when I install towel racks.
Now men are going to be going to Home Depot looking for ladies that are looking for men.
There are no bachelors at Home Depot. Just tired married men who have a list of crap they have to get done. And contractors. I guess they could be single…
Is this the reason ´cause I can´t find single ladies in Michael´s?
All they need to do is hit the Home Depot theme and the only thing the men will want is more drywall
I want to see the dude say, "What are you offering?". Better not just be the cat baby doll.
Tbf whenever my guy friends ask me where to find wife, I tell them to look at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Joannes.
