Bang with Professionals
- jacques_chester 14y agoIt's my understanding that in some parts of the world, the word "professional" in a sexual context can lead to an awkward chat with Officer Grimface.
- bmmayer1 14y agoThis is getting rigoddamndiculous.
- 31reasons 14y agoWhat an unfortunate name for a not-so-terrible idea.
- KevinEldon 14y agoNot so terrible an idea? Keith Rabois resignation from Square is example enough that you should be absurdly careful when mixing business and pleasure. If you're looking for casual hookups it's best to avoid people you may be connected to professionally. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5117719 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5117719
- 31reasons 14y agoI thought the site was about dating not hookups. People find their life partners at work all the time. Sexual harassment cases happen because people forget their social boundaries at workplace. LinkedIn is not a workplace, its just a social network of people, same people who also use Facebook and dating sites.
- wglb 14y agoBang seems more likely to imply hookups than dating.

- twiceaday 14y agoWell, does what it says on the tin.
- greenyoda 14y agoI wouldn't be surprised if LinkedIn shut this service down due to the high probability of adverse publicity. This kind of stuff doesn't really fit in with their branding as a social network for professional networking, job hunting, etc.
- chromaticorb 14y agoi suppose it was inevitable that a service came about for ridiculously uptight 'process excellence-oriented' middle-managers who love the smell of their own farts to try and reduce their shitty lives into a series of hookups with their own kind.
