Man searching for flat on dating app goes viral
What's the story
What's the best you can get out of a dating app? You might meet your soulmate which may lead to your happily ever after. However, a man from Kerala had a very different understanding of the services provided by a dating app when he arrived in Mumbai. The man unequivocally mentions in his Bumble bio, "Not a sapiosexual. Looking for a flat in Mumbai."
Social media attention

Straight-foward
Finding a place is his first priority
The man's Bumble bio reads, "not a sapiosexual, Looking for a flat in Mumbai." He also urges his "match" to swipe right only if they can help him find a place in the Western line since he doesn't know Hindi. "If you're in Mumbai and okay to help me to find a place to rent in the western line since I don't know Hindi."
Funny bio
He is even open to giving you a brokerage
The man hailing from Kerala's Ernakulam has an incredible sense of humor as he mentions in the bio that he will not judge if the person asks him for brokerage. In case you're wondering if you could help him, he says that "the quickest way to his heart is to send him leads of non-brokerage properties in Andheri."
Metro city issues
Cheap apartments are hard to find in Mumbai
Netizens humored his profile and info and agreed that it is indeed a tough task to secure a good rented apartment in Mumbai. The city has always been known to be expensive, and have a space crunch. Finding affordable accommodation in Mumbai, especially brokerage free, is next to impossible for those coming from elsewhere to work in Mumbai.
