No Fake Profiles

No Scams

Has this guy actually used LinkedIn lol?

Dude was probably being set up for an arranged marriage by his family, which can potentially pair you with someone you do not share any interests with or even attracted to in the first place. With that context, it kinda makes sense that he wants someone who at least shares something similar with him, and I guess linkedin is one way of finding out (in his mind).

I have a coworker who had an arranged marriage, and apparently they work pretty well!

Guy doesn't seem to understand what a "work persona" is. I wouldn't want to date my own work persona let alone anyone else's.

I don't even have a linkedin work persona. its an online resume as well as a way to stay in touch with coworkers mainly by getting or giving recommendations. I don't get why anyone posts there.

On the one hand, the idea of using linkedin as a dating website is irredeemably terrible. On the other hand, if singles who think otherwise actually follow through with it, that saves a bit of time and frustration for a lot of other people.

Looking at the demographics of people obsessed with linkedin, I feel like it's gonna be a sausage party

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

So just like any other dating app.

Should work out depending on how you swing.

Never thought about it, but how does LinkedIn finance its service?

Edit: looked it up
Membership fees, marketing services and recruiting solutions

Now that I think about it, there are some premium account things you can pay for
As I don't use it much, I've never really looked into it

[–] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago

Premium subscription that allows messaging people out of your network and provides a bunch of analytics about profile/article views. I know sales, marketing, and recruiting people that love it.

If you're looking for a business partner, then that would be a good site I guess.
