There is no shame in admitting that most single people go through dry spells now and then. No matter how charming or attractive you are, sometimes there are just times when you’re going to be down on your luck in the love department. If you find yourself lacking in these qualities, meanwhile, it only makes things even harder.

In these days where the process of finding potential partners is almost entirely digitized, it can be demoralizing to deal with numerous dead end ghostings. Even worse is when you can’t seem to find yourself a match in the first place. It’s led some people to become a lot more detached in their approach to things, even letting technology do the work for them.

One such example was shared by @robertmuir25 on TikTok, showing a man who had decided to turn a power drill into an automatic swipe system to try and find himself a Tinder match. Viewers were amused by the ingenuity, but skeptical as to whether it would actually work. Perhaps he should be putting in the effort to improve his pick-up lines instead.
