Okcupid Linkedin Account

LinkedIn is a lot of things: a convenient place to upload your resume online, a weird portal for “thinkfluencers” to post inspirational screeds about leadership à la Forbes.com, a site that indulges the 2008 Facebook dream by telling you (albeit in very limited ways) who’s been checking out your profile. But it is also, indisputably, the social network of choice among older men.

The evidence for this is both anecdotal (everyone’s dad loves LinkedIn) and statistical (37 percent of LinkedIn’s users are over 50, users skew predominantly male, and fully 85 percent are 30 or older). The knowledge of this used to be vaguely comforting—on any given day, you could log in, and find a wealth of posts detailing “Ten Tips for Talking Technology” and “How to Pursue Lifelong Learning.” But this week, after the 27-year-old English barrister Charlotte Proudman tweeted a LinkedIn message sent to her by a much-older partner at a law firm complimenting her on her “stunning picture!!!,” two things became clear. The first is that senior partners in law firms overuse exclamation points just as much as Millennial women purportedly do. The second is that some men are apparently hoping LinkedIn is the new Ashley Madison.

Proudman’s tweet prompted other women to reveal some of the messages they’d been sent by older men on the site under the guise of “networking.”

Proudman elaborated on her reasons for posting the message in an op-ed for The Independent.

Like many women (and men), I signed up to LinkedIn to connect with professionals in order to enhance my career prospects. Instead, I have received several messages commenting on my appearance and asking me to go on a date. After a catalogue of these similar incidents, I decided to call out sexist behavior by a fellow lawyer by publishing his message and my response on Twitter.

The first issue with this is that there are already a number of social networking platforms that exist for people to connect with other people romantically, and the fact that LinkedIn is the only one older men know how to use doesn’t make it okay for a career-oriented site to be co-opted in this way. The second is that it’s gross. LinkedIn, unlike Ashley Madison, has plenty of actual women as members who are actually looking to further their careers by meeting actual like-minded people in similar industries. But it also apparently has a plentiful number of older men looking to use their career success to impress ambitious young women with their “mentorship” potential. As the lawyer who complimented Proudman on her picture wrote at the end of his message, “Always interest [sic] to understant [sic] people’s skills and how we might work together.”

Proudman has inevitably been criticized for posting a private message, for being unable to “take a compliment,” and for being a “feminazi” who concocted a media storm in a teacup to raise her own public profile. More ominously, she’s also been blamed for reaching out to the man who messaged her in the first place. “I think we have to look at how this developed,” Matthew Scott, a barrister and legal blogger, told the BBC. “Charlotte sent him a message asking him to connect, so the initial contact was made by Charlotte. He later complimented her stunning picture, so I do think this crime is provoked by Charlotte.” Franklin Sinclair, the head of the criminal law firm Tuckers, also seemed to call for retaliation against Proudman by other lawyers.

@CRProudman what an awful thing to do, what kind of world do we live in when a man can’t give a lady a compliment.getalife. Nomorebriefs4u

The problem, at least for women like Proudman, is that receiving a compliment is one thing, but being put in an awkward position by a powerful person in the same industry is something else entirely. The act of networking is plenty obnoxious enough already even without considering all the gender, age, and status dynamics that go into seeking career guidance from another human being. As LinkedIn’s very slogan specifies, “relationships matter.” Want to connect with a woman in a non-professional way? There’s a (totally different) app for that.

In recent months, some of my reporting on CTech has been surrounding the popular dating app OkCupid and what insights it can tell us about society. In March, I wrote about how people were 13% more likely to get a match if they signaled their vaccination status, and the following month I highlighted how 77% of Israelis express ‘concerns for the fate of the planet’ due to climate change.

Well, two months have gone by and an entirely new government has formed in the Knesset. Since OkCupid offers its users up to 5,000 questions that can be answered to determine the responses to some of these issues, and given my past interest in such data, I wanted a catch my own date with the company to find out more.

“We can add questions within seconds,” said Michael Kaye, the company’s Global Communications & Public Relations Manager. I caught up with him earlier this month to discuss two major things happening: the return of Tel Aviv Pride and the change of the Israeli government – a welcomed rotation after years of political and policy stalemate. “This weekend, when we were still getting the news alerts about Benjamin Netanyahu, we immediately added questions about how Israelis feel about the new government and how long they think the new government will last.”

One of the most striking aspects of OkCupid is how it differentiates itself from other dating apps. As well as conventional swipe and messaging services, the app also asks its users dozens of questions about a myriad of subjects helping determine possible matches among users. I once downloaded the app and was asked if I ate meat, and then suddenly challenged on my views about Trump’s border wall. “These questions are all about dating, relationships, and sex, but also politics, healthcare, climate change, gun control, marriage equality, and racial equality,” he told me.

Israel is a smaller country than most, and so we had to wait a few weeks for the data into Israeli opinion on the new government. Michael kindly followed up with me a few days after our call via email and provided the results from 1.5 million questions answered by Israeli users since Naftali Bennett became the country’s new prime minister.

How do you feel about the new Israeli government?
Finally! (51%)
Not sure (40%)
It’s a disaster (10%)

Do you think the new Israeli government will last?
I have no idea(52%)
Yes (25%)
No (23%)

According to the data collected by OkCupid, more than half of single Israelis have no idea how successful the Bennett administration will be, only feeling relief that it represents a definitive government after all these years. Only 10% of Israelis think it will be a flat-out disaster, with roughly an equal share believing it will – or won’t – last at all.

If you think that politics is not a sexy thing to discuss on a dating site that people use to find love, then you might be pleasantly – or drearily – surprised. As I wrote in March: “In 2019, 53% of OkCupid users said they couldn’t date someone with the opposite political opinion – with that number jumping up to nearly 70% in 2021. In total, 32% of OkCupid would rather share the same political beliefs with their partners than have good sex.”

“We know this is a hot topic for daters,” Michael told me when I mentioned the relationship between dating and politics. “In Israel, we’ve already seen 380,000 users say they enjoy discussing politics.” In the email follow-up, he provided the data that showed almost 50,000 OkCupid daters in Israel have said they like to discuss politics with their partners in a relationship. Of those, 63% prefer that their date shares their political views.

So, Israelis like fighting on dates – what else is new? Well, in an announcement that would coincide with Pride Month, Michael told me that OkCupid was adding 19 identities – up from 41 – to help make the platform be more inclusive for those in the LGBTQ+ community who may not fit into traditional labels. These include anything from gender identities to sexual preferences, positions, and body shapes.

“Israel has always been supportive of our LGBTQ+ efforts,” Michael affirmed. “Tel Aviv, but Israel as a whole, is a very accepting and inclusive country, which is why in all the marketing campaigns we’ve ever launched in Israel, there’s always a nod to the community or some level of inclusive messaging.” OkCupid appeared on a float at the Tel Aviv Pride March this year, marking the first time the dating app ventured outside of the U.S for such an occasion.

I was first exposed to the amount of data that something like OkCupid could provide when I was still in art school and living in New York. In 2014, I read “Dataclysm: Who We Are (When We Think No One’s Looking)” written by its co-founder Christian Rudder. The book took what was at the time 10 years of data to show us what users thought about love, sex, race, and identity. Today, in a world engulfed with social chaos and politicized vaccinations, it might be time for Rudder to gift us with an update.

“Our political questions have more than 100 million responses,” Michael concluded. “There have been more than 550 million responses to our questions in general in 2020 alone, and over 8.5 billion since we launched the app.”
