Really unprofessional imo... you only need to rub one person the wrong way and they can kill your app. It's really not that hard to get referrals through traditional networking
It's a terrible idea.
Any loser who's thirsty enough to give referrals to girls he met on dating apps will probably also give referrals to an attractive girl that acts a little flirty on LinkedIn. The problem with dating apps is once a guy like this gets rejected he may get bitter and might tell others that was how she got her job.
Honestly, this blend of professional and personal isn't great. I feel like people need an ability to switch off and not think in business context in certain settings. Dating apps should really just be one of those settings where you don't need to question of she commented with a referral in mind.
I'm a strong advocate for networking, and honestly, it's not that hard to send a cold email or message making the intent obvious. If the people she's reaching out to on these apps know it's purely for networking, and aren't being mislead with false intentions, then it's technically ok, but still idioitic. For one, it's common to share your resume or speak on your professional qualifications (albiet briefly) in a cold email/message. On Hinge, the profile is very clearly tailored to hobbies, interests, and looks. I wouldn't be able to judge anyone for their professional qualifications with so little to go on and if led with false intentions, that would give even more reason to not refer this person.
All in all, using HInge for networking is like using Excel for text analysis - it was not built for this and even if it can technically be done, it's inefficient and will lead to a poor result jeaopardizing a deal in the process.
I agree with you in general, but I think you're wrong about it being inefficient. Pussy starved nerds are far more likely to give a referral if they think it increases their chance of sex with an attractive woman.
If you consider the risk/reward matrix, I'd argue pulling this stuff is far more likely to backfire than to work in favour of the women. I remember reading the other thread where the guy felt betrayed and some comments were encouraging misleading the woman into thinking she'd get a referral.
Most guys aren't so naive to provide referrals blindly especially at the cost of their own rep in the firm. I personally vet anyone I refer and I imagine anyone who's provided a referral has the same mindset. At times, I've told candidates to re-do their resumes or questioned their motivation (some folks really don't know what consultants do) and denied a handful of referrals to people who just had no actual clue what the firm or industry or work was.
So, there are a ton of apps for finding friends and business contacts.
Bumble BFF, Meetup, Wink, Friender and so many more!
It would be more honest and efficient to do it that way?
Having said that, I also found a business partner on a dating website when we both decided that we wouldn't end up dating. So it's not always a bad thing.
