Melbourne influencer Sam Guggenheimer has revealed she sends her exes exit surveys when they break up.
The 23-year-old TikToker and her best friend Izzy Armitage appeared on the Happy Hour podcast this week to discuss everything modern dating.
Sam, who parted ways with Western Bulldogs player Caleb Poulter in January, explained that she offered the AFL star an exit survey and he ‘loved it’ and filled the form out.
The internet personality dated the footballer for two and half years and when announcing the break-up on the Just For Girls podcast said the relationship had ‘run its course’.
‘Caleb and I are no longer together. I had a beautiful relationship, and I will cherish our relationship for the rest of my life but things happen,’ she said.
Referencing a recent short-lived relationship this week, Sam said, ‘The guy I saw in Bali blocked me because I sent him an exit survey and it did not go well.’

AFL star Caleb Poulter and his influencer girlfriend Sam called time on their relationship after two and a half years of dating in January, 2024
‘He said it was really insensitive and really rude,’ she continued.
The Melbourne beauty explained she’d met a Bali-based man at Luigi’s in Canggu whilst on holiday.
He then invited her to visit him two weeks later and the pair spent three weeks together, with him asking her to be his girlfriend during that time.
Sam accepted and then realised she didn’t want to do long-distance and quickly broke things off.
‘With all my recent relationships, I was the one to dead it. So I’m fine with them but they’re not fine with me,’ she said.
‘All the guys I ghosted, they didn’t fill it out. But I sent my ex of three years one and he was like this is f**king sick, and filled it out for me.’
Relationship exit surveys emerged as a humorous trend on TikTok in 2023, inspired by a final workplace meeting with HR.
The idea is to provide a neutral ground, where both parties can air their positive reflections and grievances, and leave with a greater sense of closure.
Sam has become a key player in social media, known for her relatable and humorous content and has a massive following of 252,000 people on TikTok
While some men find the exit surveys ‘rude’ Sam said Caleb ‘loved it’
Lucy Jackson asked Sam what some of her exit survey interview questions are.
‘Rate your experience from 1 to 10,’ she laughed.
‘What was your favourite thing about me? What was your least favourite thing?
‘Did I listen to you enough?’ and ‘If I reached out for reconciliation would you say yes?’
The Australian influencer moved to shut down ugly and false cheating rumours that surfaced after she called time on her long-term relationship with Caleb.
‘I need to set records straight [because] I’m sick of staying silent,’ Sam said in a since-deleted TikTok posted in February.
She explained she had a ‘beautiful relationship’ with Caleb and added there had been ‘nothing bad involved’.
On Happy Hour, Sam revealed how she’d endured 30 plus messages a day from other young women, who kept tabs on her ex’s romantic movements after their split.
‘I’d open them because I wanted to know what they said but it was hurtful,’ she said.
She then put a pause on her social media accounts for several months and then had her sister wipe her inboxes when she started them back up.
‘In saying that, we’re fine now.’
‘I love being single. It’s weird being single on social media though because I started mine when I was in a relationship and people like to compare them,’ Sam continued.
The influencer said she struggles to determine if men like her, or the idea of her, and often finds that men either see her online presence as a deterrent, or are only attracted to her because of its ‘clout’.
‘I don’t know if you like me, or if you like the idea of me,’ she added.
Sam said someone would have to spend ‘a lot of time and energy’ before she felt she could trust them.
