‘Respect the hustle’: Man’s bold bid to land date with Aussie star

A Gold Coast reality star said she respects the “hustle” of US men when it comes to dating after she found a note on her car with a bold question.

A Gold Coast woman who has been travelling in the US and Europe has said she “respects the hustle” of American men when it comes to dating.

Shelby Mills, a former Love Island contestant, took to Instagram to share a photo of a note that was left on her car’s windshield while she was in Los Angeles.

The Queenslander said she respected the “hustle” and that men in Australia would never shoot their shot in that way.

“IDK if you like black guys but your [sic] fine shawty. Let me wine and dine you, no BS. I work two jobs and I drive,” the note read.

The man also left his phone number, asking Shelby to text him if she was interested.

Shelby wrote alongside the note: “Hahaha finding notes on your car. I love America. Respect the hustle.”

Shelby featured on the 2018 season of Love Island, alongside Erin Barnett.

Since leaving the show, she has skyrocketed to fame on adult content platform OnlyFans.

She has also built up followings on TikTok and Instagram, where she documents her adventures.

While in America, she went to NFL and baseball games, fished in Alaska and rode bikes along Venice Beach.

Most recently, Shelby took her followers along with her as she attempted to return to Australia from LAX airport but missed her flight.

Instead, she went straight to Bali to meet friends.
