A woman unlucky in love has ditched dating apps and turned to LinkedIn in a bid to find her perfect match.

The content creator, who goes by Candilicious and lives in Singapore, decided to bin apps like Hinge and Bumble after weeks of scrolling.

Instead, she turned her sights to the corporate networking platform to find her soulmate.

‘Yes -that’s right. This week I am going to be crawling LinkedIn in Singapore to find my next date,’ she said in the video with over 80,000 views.

Candilicious justified her approach on the employment-orientated app stating the filters are what sets it a part from Tinder, Bumble or Hinge

While some branded her decision as ‘Queen behaviour,’ and called her ‘a legend’ in the comments, others were not as confident.

‘Yikes. You probably have more tact, but I really don’t like when I’m approached on LinkedIn in that way,’ wrote one.

‘I wouldn’t suggest LinkedIn for dating,’ a second commented. 

Another chimed in: ‘LinkedIn?? Not practical. How do you approach them?’ 

A fourth person added: ‘Does it list relationship status because that could be a world of pain if they’re not single, plus it would be creepy if a man did it…’ 

Seemingly unfazed by the criticism, the content creator replied in a follow-up video, justifying why LinkedIn was the perfect place to find a love interest. 

Candilicious stressed the apps unique filters makes it superior than your run-of-the-mill dating app, stating: ‘Number one I can filter for education – MBA baby!’

She also noted how the app allowed her to find potential suitors through filtering via industry, as she hoped to couple up with a doctor, lawyer or someone in finance.’

LinkedIn also allows its users to filter their searches based on country, something the content creator says is ‘very important’.  

Whilst some initially criticised the content creator, many shared their own success stories in the comments

‘I’m unable to filter by height but at least there are very good looking photos that I can do some height analysis on,’ she joked.

After her clarification, many flocked to the comments labelling the TikToker as ‘ smart’ and ‘a genius’.

Some even shared their own promising LinkedIn love stories, with one commenting: ‘I checked my then boyfriends LinkedIn page after we met through Tinder. We are married now, LOL’ 

While a user wrote: ‘I met my boyfriend from LinkedIn hahahaha.’ 

One individual raved that they had seen ‘so many success stories [relationships]’, from LinkedIn. 

‘I met my partner on LinkedIn…no joke,’ chimed another.
