So if you're single and you are a contractor, you might be in good shape. A lot of single ladies are abandoning their dating apps and going to the Home Depot lumber aisle. An article that came out in a couple of different social media locations interviewed a bunch of people, and there’s a trend on TikTok and other social media channels where ladies are abandoning their dating apps and just running down to Home Depot. In one example, the TikTok user said, "I'm deleting the dating app; I'm heading to Home Depot to look confused in the lumber aisle."

This one TikTok user showed themselves getting ready, putting on makeup, doing their hair, and getting ready to go down to Home Depot to try to find a relationship partner. It was halfway as a joke but kind of gave the idea. One TikToker even asked a Home Depot employee, "Do you have an aisle specifically where the single men are?"

If you're a contractor, builder, or somebody who has to get a lot of materials, are you finding that this is a thing in your area? Drop a comment below and let us know what you're seeing. While this may be half a joke, it does point out the fact that some people who are single in the marketplace are looking at alternatives to dating apps or online ways, and they’re running down to Home Depot.

Contractors, beware—it might be a line of people chasing you around trying to find a relationship while you're just trying to get some 5'4 lumber.
