People do lots of creative and interesting things to get noticed on dating apps. I've never heard of doing this though! A woman posted her credit rating on her dating app page and has scored some dates because of it.

According to the New York Post, Leah Nicewander decided to post a picture of her credit score on her profile page on the dating app Hinge. The 24-year-old says she posted a screenshot of her 811 FICO score to make her profile more unique. And apparently, it's working!

Nicewander says she's gotten 17 dates in 30 days after posting her score. She says she's had some fun dates, but so far hasn't met anyone special. Nor has she met anyone who meets her FICO standards. A man with a high credit score is attractive Nicewander says because it shows he can 'be responsible'.

I'll tell ya, I like her style! What a smart idea! I wish I would have been as smart as her when I was 24 years old.  I had excellent credit when I was in my 30's. Then I met my second husband. Supposedly, his wasn't so great. Of course, I believed him and never asked to see it. He made more money than me but since I had the good credit score, we put a new house and two cars in my name. Long story short, I was left with about $300,000 worth of debt when we split. I had to file for bankruptcy. Now, my credit score is lower than my weight! LOL! Love made me stupid.

Kuddos to this young lady for being financially smart! Hopefully she'll find someone she likes that has a credit score as good as hers.
