Hinge has the weirdest fkin people

Matched with a female VC, got this long ass message from her -

"Hey,

This is a copy pasted templatized message ๐Ÿ˜›

Owing to the awfully high number of requests I receive on Hinge(and I'm told most females do- I'm not all that special), Iโ€™ve had to resort to this unique way of filtering.

So, I've been advised by friends that the first easy step to weed out fake profiles(please don't take this personally- there are many) is to exchange LinkedIn profiles(I will be happy to reciprocate and share mine too), and even Instagram helps for a preliminary vibe check.

I am looking to find the forever kind of love and then get married, so, even in general, it would help to understand what a person does, where he's studied etc. and in that regard some vague Hinge prompts don't help(if I was looking to casually date, perhaps, I'd care less. ๐Ÿ˜›)- LinkedIn aids easy elimination anyway since intellectual compatibility is key for me- I love what I do and want a partner who is just as ambitious, if not more.

In the best interest of your time, I will also implore you to read through my dating goals- makes sense to connect further only if there's absolute alignment on that front.

So, let's start with exchanging LinkedIn and IG profiles and proceed to a more usual/chilled out flow of things from there?

Else, PLEASE UNMATCH WITHOUT REPLYING ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

P.S. if youโ€™ve been married before- no judgement, but, please unmatch."

Do yourselves a favour and never use hinge or date those who do.

Why is this weird? The female has subtle sense of humour and also knows how to draw boundaries

She should be looking for partners on LinkedIn or some matrimony app instead of hinge. Basic common sense, she's not going to find the kind of people she wants on dating apps.

For dating to work, it needs an open mind. She's already closed all doors with so many filters.

Don't decide for her.

Unmatch if it doesn't fit your bill

Just the right way to draw boundaries.

Given how online dating is, it seems like she doesn't want to waste her time or yours, nothing weird in my opinion.

This is the most boring way to initiate a conversation regardless. Any guy who has options (which is actually her Target audience) isn't going to entertain her.

I mean why would a sane person date such โ€œtoxically ambitiousโ€ person?. She doesnโ€™t want a date but some career trophy. I would avoid such people (and online apps)at all costs.

It's more of a matrimony app behaviour on a dating app. Still understandable there but on hinge it's hilarious.

I've had better experiences on bumble tbh. Much much better and organic.

That bumble CEO and her AI talking to each other as a replacement disophian shit suddenly makes sense.

She wants to assess your financial acumen is what I feel.

Atleast she is being direct and polite

There is a thin line between being upfront and being obnoxious. She crossed into obnoxious.
