Please share!Īlison Maloni is a media expert, speaker, contributor, and Anchor on Newsmax and owner of Alison May Public Relations. ![]() And if you do go to those sites, don't start off with cheesy lines or tell them that they are sexy. If you want to find a woman to date I suggest you head over to Tinder, Bumble, or Match.Com. Leave LinkedIn for the professional networking site that it was created for. One final piece of advice for the men looking for love in all the wrong places. Messages, texts, photos, and videos do not disappear. You must be careful with what they say, do and send on social media or texts.

According to a Forbes article, you could be courting a liability suit. I have to wonder how many of these men are married, engaged, or dating someone? Not only does it make you look slimy but it is not good for your professional reputation. And third, your reputation is on the line. I have received messages saying "hey sexy."
