A woman has opened up about the fact that she uses LinkedIn as a dating app in order to find a decent man. Now I know what you're thinking, <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/ryan-reynolds-has-a-linkedin-page-and-its-exactly-what-youd-expect-it-to-be-like" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a> for dating? What? What happened to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid? Apparently, they're not serving their own purpose anymore and Linkedin has stepped up to offer a new, and slightly more innovative, option. Long gone are the days for professional networking and showcasing your skills, it's now apparently the hub to meet a potential other half, well, according to one TikToker. Taking to TikTok, user <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@candi.licious" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@candi.licious</a> has been giving her followers an insight into her experiences on 10 dating apps in 10 weeks, and after giving Hinge, Bumble, and Tinder a shot, she then moved on to LinkedIn to see what the playing field looked like on there. [[tiktokwidget||https://www.tiktok.com/@candi.licious/video/7260385706999074066]] "Why am I using LinkedIn as a dating app? The filters!", she told her 47,000 followers. "Number one, I can filter for an education - MBA, baby. Number two, I can filter by industry. I'm looking at doctor, lawyer, finance bro. "Number three, I can filter by country, very important. Unfortunately, I'm unable to filter by height but at least there are very good-looking photos that I can kind of do height analysis on." I mean, if that works for you, it works for you, right? Alongside the video, the TikToker also wrote: "I'm looking for A-grade men and Linkedin has A-grade filters!" Hundreds took to the comments to talk about the unique idea, with many even recalling their own experiences on the app. "I dated a top executive at a major media company that I met on LinkedIn (as I was building a network for my startup). So yeah, it works," said one user. "I checked my then bf’s LinkedIn page after we met through tinder. We are married now. LOL," another added. A third pointed this out: "The thing is, on LinkedIn they only have one perfectly edited headshot. I need a full posture pic for my evaluation." "I have a 30 years old photo there," this user said, insinuating you can't trust what you see on the platform. <img class="wp-image-1263224464 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-13-at-15.54.33-1024x314.png" alt="" width="1024" height="314" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263224466 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-13-at-15.59.02-1024x408.png" alt="" width="1024" height="408" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-1263224467 size-large" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-13-at-16.01.11-1024x484.png" alt="" width="1024" height="484" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] Others also wondered if they should drop the actual dating apps and pick up Linkedin. Well, if @candi.licious' experiences are anything to go by, it seems as though it's worth giving the idea a shot, especially if you've exhausted all your other options. <h6>Featured Image Credit: Nikolas Kokovlis/NurPhoto/Getty</h6>
