Not to say you do it with the women you work with or women who are big voices in your industry but what about women who used to work at your company, work at a company you used to work at, or work at a different company in your industry?

Your thoughts?

Hey Pry,

I have never done this, but I certainly don't think it's a bad idea but I think its the wrong forum for game. The circumstance I see using linkedIn working the best is in a situation like this:
1) you have ties to the girl already AKA you have met in a formal setting before whether that be school or work and you are "connected" already on linked in.
2) you keep your linked in interaction to a bare minimum, and basically just use it as a reaching out point to hop to another form of communication, whether that be FB, insta, or preferably a phone #.

Note this is not field tested, but this is what I would start with when testing.
"Hey name, looks like you are (doing well for yourself | still hanging out at the company you both used to work at) :) how are things going?"

I would wait for a response and if you get one - then I would go straight for the date/number close. So it's a pretty safe message. After her response is where I would need some testing and it kind of depends on how you knew the girl. The less you know her, the more banter I think would be needed before closing.

"(assuming she asks how you are doing) I am doing great! New job is treating me awesome."
"If you promise not to tell HR ;) I think it would be cool to catch up over a drink sometime soon, any interest, you just gotta promise not to complain about work the entire time?"

All that being said -- I think its not the right platform and probably won't net you too much results, BUT its worth a shot if you had a hot co worker that you could never chat up at work in a previous job. But its something that could probably get you reported to linkedIn if you abuse it and just hit on random women. It would require a TON of tact to make this work consistently. But for certain situations, I see nothing wrong with it.

If you do this, please post some FRs about your interactions, I am really curious.

Cheers,
Radeng

Yeah you completely missed my point.

1. You don't reach out to random women, you reach out to women you met at professional events and conferences.

2. You indeed avoid being forward on there, shift the communication to something else.

The thing is if you are successful, LI is DHV and you have a common in with a lot of women, from there just transition to meeting them on a separate social media device such as Instagram and escalate there. LI is more of a farm and new avenue since dating apps are hyper competitive and nightgame is mostly dead.
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake
