  • 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.

maybe we should all find a bunch of like minded people, buy some land leave this all behind.
