Three girls use dating app to get male flatmate

Or

Three "girls" use app to get "male" flatmate

Honestly, I'm lost. The only constant is it was a gay, male friend who suggested Grindr. But other than that, I have no idea what sex all these characters are. Pink "News", hey?

Here's the same story but not from Prick News...

The "girls" are adult women. They were looking for an adult male flatmate, having previously been an all-female flatshare, not through design. They seemed to be struggling to find a male flatmate through the typical channels, so the (gay) best friend of one of the women suggesting advertising the houseshare on Grindr. This proved surprisingly successful, at least in terms of expressions of interest. the article implies that they have not yet actually found a house mate.

Thanks Roses. Still not news in my opinion, but whatever.
