Given that the app is designed around encouraging people to treat professional networking as a dating opportunity, it's not entirely clear in what direction they're trying to rebalance things.

- Alex3917 9y ago- You can't use the networking functionality unless you have a public profile on the dating side, so everyone you are networking with knows you are open to dating or whatever. (Trying to disable a public profile on the dating side turns off the networking functionality.) - Just like in the dating app, women go first in the networking app, sending the signal that maybe it's not entirely about dating.
