When a student shared her thesis presentation on LinkedIn, the last thing she expected was for it to serve as an impromptu dating ad. Yet, that’s precisely what unfolded as her connection requests surged by nearly 600 overnight, all from potential suitors.
Taking her surprise to TikTok, she revealed the onslaught, quickly going viral and sparking laughter across the platform. A Twitter thread has since erupted, with commenters humorously declaring that every social media eventually becomes a dating app. Clearly, LinkedIn is no exception—though our student isn’t looking to mingle, just to share her academic success.
Amid the chaos, the Twitterverse did what it does best—serve up some comedy gold. One user joked, “Open to dating” badge coming soon.” Another chimed in with, “You’re in her DMs. I’m in her LinkedIn inbox. We are not the same.” The laughs keep coming as everyone seems to agree on one thing: LinkedIn’s networking is taking on a whole new meaning.
