I am Interested to hear so thoughts and/or experiences with this. It has never occurred to me to lurk networking sites in search of a date, but apparently I may be in the minority on this one. A dear friend recently resorted to broadcasting a post on LinkedIn that read, "[D]ear LinkedIn Creepers, this is a business networking site... not a 'hey, she has a sweet job so I am going to try and hook up with her' website. Be professional or go back to Tinder!"
I asked her privately what prompted the post and it was unbelievable the amount of private messages, connection requests, and borderline stalking she has encountered! Yes she has a "sweet job" as a Rocket Scientist... I mean Rocket Propulsion Engineer, and yes her photo, although professional looking, does reveal the fact that she is also attractive... still no excuse in my book though!
Thoughts?

There are profiles on THIS site that creep me out as well. Hundreds of contacts....99% very attractive female service members. Looks like someone is putting together an internet harem. Disturbing.

My opinion is that it isnt professional. This activity corrupts these social networks. Its a bad idea alltogether.
