  • Risk vs reward: Although 65% believe using LinkedIn for dating could harm their reputation, 1 in 8 have formed a romantic relationship that started on LinkedIn.
  • LinkedIn as a vetting tool: 1 in 5 admit to using LinkedIn to research a potential romantic partner.
  • Trust in profiles: Nearly half (48%) believe information on LinkedIn profiles is more trustworthy than on dating apps.
  • What draws attention: Besides profile photos (57%), workers say showcasing personality in bios or “About” sections (55%) and mutual connections (41%) are among the top LinkedIn features that would influence their romantic interest in someone.

They email me a new puzzle every single day. Like, fuck off with that shit, you are a job board and nothing more, start fucking acting like one.

But line must go up? See, you get people hooked on the puzzles, then you charge for them! It's sure fire.
