Everything about dating, sexuality, having fun with typical life things finds the wrong audience here, where people love to dwell in front of their terminals.
Business Insider’s website reliably crashes my Safari (iOS) tab in about 10 seconds after open/refresh. It’s been happening for months, at least. It’s a real blessing now that I think about it
I once applied for a loan online. Got an email from a different domain saying I’d get a call. When I received the call I expressed concern I was talking to a scammer.
The lady said, “Just check my LinkedIn profile, it proves I’m for real.”
Anything with a list of people with enough information for you to figure out a way to contact them can be used for dating.
I remember reading a newspaper story maybe a decade or so ago about California officials being unhappy that someone who was on the California registered sex offense list was using it as way to find other men who had committed the same offense in hopes of finding dating partners who would not be put off by his crime.
> Those poor women, truly missing out on the gift that is you.
Given how much single women in their 30s and up (I am not in the 20-something demographic) kvetch about not being able to find a good guy to date/marry, I think that some of them (much like this woman in the article, who I think is younger) might do well to figure out the things that make them no-go material for desirable guys (whether it’s guys like me or guys with other traits that they find desirable).
You comment does appear to advocate that "some of these" women should mold themselves towards what men want and knock off corners that men find undesirable.
Well, you know how this works: if one person that you've met recently does not like you, then maybe there's something wrong with them. If a hundred people that you've met recently don't like you, then maybe there's something wrong with you.
Every job that I've had I've found despite LinkedIn. My first graduate job was through word of mouth, the second I was headhunted, the third I found a recruiter that was worth his salt (who also, eventually, placed me at my fourth). Anything I've needed to know about a company there were ways outside of LinkedIn to find out, often as LinkedIn seemed like a HR washed exercise in grandiose. FWIW they're all but one are companies you would've heard of.
What is the value you've had in return from being connected with your previous employers there? I'm connected with my closer colleagues through normal messaging apps.
All my jobs are from LinkedIn, via recruiters for various companies. In fact, I use the number of messages I get per week as a proxy for how well or poorly the market is doing.
What are your experience and interests? Just like SEO, or search engine optimization, there exists the concept of LinkedIn profile optimization. It includes things like having a good profile picture, making sure your profile has a clear niche (fullstack, backend, embedded, etc), having clear bullet points for each of your company experience sections, with numerical values if you have the data ("increased performance by X% using A, B, C"), setting your location to a well-known tech hub, and so on.
Once I did all that, I've multiple gotten daily messages with very interesting offers. LinkedIn is a tool like any other, people simply have to learn how to use it.
Reddit has a fantastic sub known as LinkedInLunatics[1]. I highly recommend checking it out. A frequent topic of conversation are the posts from females that are just veiled advertisements for sexual services.

As the founder and CEO of LinkedIn, I can confirm that nobody ever lies on the internet.

Agreed.
I don’t recall advocating for anyone to “settle”, which I personally think is a recipe for disaster.
And...
How do you connect with employers, employees, look up companies, jobs, etc.?
