London - Women using the Tinder dating app are getting what they want from men – and it’s not candlelit dinners or one-night stands.

A growing number in the US are said to be using the app to find a man to do their household chores and DIY.

They say they have found men to fit air conditioning, shovel snow and move furniture – with no strings attached. It’s now thought the trend could spread to the UK.

Fiona Bloom, 47, from Brooklyn, New York, said: ‘I’ve tried all the dating apps, but every time I put my real age, all I get are idiots and losers. I figured, why not make them useful?’

She told the New York Post that she found a match with a man wearing overalls in his profile photo and invited him over to install her air conditioning. After he had done the work, she asked him to leave and did not answer his messages requesting that she go on a proper date.
