Hilary Duff. Mariah Carey. Katy Perry. Now Marshall Mathers. Every person listed has admitted to using online dating with us peasants to find some temporary love. Before you start thinking that no celebrity would ever swipe right on you, don’t forget that the average Joe who chirped at Genie Bouchard on Twitter during the Super Bowl last year is legit dating her. Dreams come true.
Anyhoo, you may think that by being one of the greatest rappers of all-time, Eminem has the pick of the worldwide litter, but in a recent interview with Vulture, the 45-year-old said that he uses the same mechanisms most do slap skins.
Via Vulture:
Do you date?
It’s tough. Since my divorce I’ve had a few dates and nothing’s panned out in a way that I wanted to make it public. Dating’s just not where I’m at lately.
When you were dating, how’d you meet people? Tinder?
I mean, yeah.
Are you being serious?
Yeah, Tinder.
Really?
[Laughs] And Grindr. I also used to go to strip clubs.
I think a lot of long-term relationships start in strip clubs.
What can I say? Going to strip clubs is how I was meeting some chicks. It was an interesting time for me.Is fame lonely for you?
Am I lonely? No, I’m good. Thanks for asking though.
Eminem has twice married his former wife Kim and has said that “trust issues” and unclear “motives” of potential suitors have prevented him from meeting new people.
As you may imagine, traditional dating is off the table for one of the most recognizable faces on the planet. Eminem said as much in an interview with Rolling Stone.
“As far as going out, like dinner and a movie – I just can’t. Going out in public is just too crazy.
“I mean, I’d like to be in a relationship again someday. Who doesn’t? It’s just hard to meet new people, in my position.”
Best of luck to Marshall on finding love. Until then, enjoy your $100 billion.
