Matched with a female VC, got this long ass message from her -
"Hey,
This is a copy pasted templatized message 😛
Owing to the awfully high number of requests I receive on Hinge(and I'm told most females do- I'm not all that special), I’ve had to resort to this unique way of filtering.
So, I've been advised by friends that the first easy step to weed out fake profiles(please don't take this personally- there are many) is to exchange LinkedIn profiles(I will be happy to reciprocate and share mine too), and even Instagram helps for a preliminary vibe check.
I am looking to find the forever kind of love and then get married, so, even in general, it would help to understand what a person does, where he's studied etc. and in that regard some vague Hinge prompts don't help(if I was looking to casually date, perhaps, I'd care less. 😛)- LinkedIn aids easy elimination anyway since intellectual compatibility is key for me- I love what I do and want a partner who is just as ambitious, if not more.
In the best interest of your time, I will also implore you to read through my dating goals- makes sense to connect further only if there's absolute alignment on that front.
So, let's start with exchanging LinkedIn and IG profiles and proceed to a more usual/chilled out flow of things from there?
Else, PLEASE UNMATCH WITHOUT REPLYING 😬
P.S. if you’ve been married before- no judgement, but, please unmatch."
Do yourselves a favour and never use hinge or date those who do.
