Oh you absolute goon. No one wants to hear your half baked techno jargon explanation of your 'prompt engineering job' they are trying to be nice and get to know you...
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.
Once you're above a certain level of wealth, you don't need a worksona any more. Getting fired is just a temporary setback. The terrifying truth is that some people are actually like this; they think they are their careers. ML isn't just the thing he does, it's a part of who he is.
I'm pretty sure the people who choose to find a partner by having their parents make profiles on "matrimony websites" are doing it wrong...
Now, I have zero experience with that tactic, but even the LinkedIn Lunatic seems to agree it's not the best plan
So it's not arbitrary standards, it's based on that person saying it's not working.
What's confusing is they don't seem to understandwhy women in 2025 aren't attracted to that method
Who wants to marry a guy based on an ad his mother wrote? Every woman I know would see that as a giant red flag and run for the hills. Which again, seems to be what the person who tried it also found out...
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).
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.
