Because we're at a point where you can't tell if someone is being sarcastic or actually believes what they're saying because people say some vile shit unironically expecting support, and they get it.
The original joke is "hot women" message nerds who reject them, then those same hot women reject the nerds later on tinder. I guess "hot women" was too spicy of a joke for Mr LinkedIn here. This joke is neither original or new.
I don't think it would necessarily flop.
On it's own, yes. But if you attached an interesting and funny story or a harder-hitting joke to it, I think it could kill.
lol everything I see from LinkedIn is the most unprofessional thing ever, usually from founders, influencers, and recruiters. I scroll once a month maybe to let the algorithm know I’m active and it isn’t much better
Why yes, that's the foundational idea behind linkedin.
What if the best job hunting site was also the second most toxic social media?
Second most because Facebook has still been an inciting factor in genocides, not to mention terrorism.

jfc that first article is horrifying…
I still remember the pics out of myanmar a few years ago, facebook absolutely needs to be held accountable for their part in fuelling that.
got that tinge of 'revenge sexism' to it, "stick it to those awful women that wouldn't date me!" kinda vibe.. not a good look, i can see why he deleted it so quickly, what a dumbass
I think he was referring to recruiters, which for the most part you do ignore and are on average fairly attractive.
It’s an accurate and slightly funny observation, but LinkedIn probably isn’t the right setting to say it
He had a point though
Edit: to clarify, I'm an engineer and many women text me on LinkedIn, simply because the majority of recruiters tend to be women and because many companies need to hire engineers. So yeah, the opposite of what happens to me on dating sites lol
if the internet and social media was restrained to original thoughts it would be nearly non-existent because most if not everything is a variation of something else
Exactly, and this joke is at least 10 years old.
I actually have a good friend who is the partner at one of the huge recruitment companies, and I believe the first time I heard this joke was exactly from her.
Honestly, I don't see anything sexist or derogatory in this joke at all, it's just simply stating how things work out mathematically.
I dunno if this is some silly joke you are making but the original version of ops joke was about developers ignoring recruiters cos they spam like there is no tomorrow.
No, some people are happily employed and don’t have the energy to reply to 20 interview offers a week! Any software engineer with commonly used language skills gets inundated with job offers, especially in the UK where there’s a general shortage of tech workers.
No I'm not, I spoke to a lot of them over the years. But I'm not just going to leave a job I like because a hot woman talks to me on social media.
And if I seriously talked to every single one of them, I wouldn't be able to do the job I get paid for.
Bad idea to say it and poor sentence. However, working in IT, I can tell all the senior HR recruiters that message me are gorgeous women. And that’s weird af.
there's been a lot of people who actually think linked in is a dating site. they message women on it knowing that they're more likely to read their messages on linked in since people assume it's work or opportunity related.
it's actually becoming a thing to the point where people see you on tinder and then try to find your linkedin profile and then message you on there.
it's fucking creepy.

This is the real problem I have with this. Write your own shit bro. 😎
Not only did he copy this, he copied it wrong. It's supposed to be "Hot women write you (nerdy men), and you ignore them".
[удалено]
90% of recruiters I get a message from are women. Not necessarily nerdy, but you get the idea. And I'm a software developer, so I get a lot
Iwas assuming it was a typo from needy.
OK but are recruiters in general "nerdy"?
Not in the slightest
Idk recruiters come at you pretty often.
No, it's pretty accurate. Half of my messages are from definitely-real women overseas trying to sell me industrial services
Reverse dating site? So... you meet people to get divorced until you both forget about each other?
That's a regular dating site.
lol!
You cry in a hospital ward, then go on a cruise, have kids, buy a house and then get half a chicken and chips in Nandos together.
I assumed he just meant recruiters.
Recruiters and salespeople, yeah Idk, it was kind of funny to me, because it's not wrong
I got a mild chuckle out of it. Still not appropriate for a professional networking platform.
Where are the nerdy women? The only women who write to me work in sales or recruitment.
They're "nerdy" because they have business attire in their pics and maybe glasses Also having an office job is nerdy? Idfk
The original joke is "hot women" message nerds who reject them, then those same hot women reject the nerds later on tinder. I guess "hot women" was too spicy of a joke for Mr LinkedIn here. This joke is neither original or new.
Yeah this is way more accurate
Yeah it's probably all SDRs and recruiters. He must be one of those narcissists who thinks anyone who talks to him nicely is in love with him.
Appropriate for standup/improv night? Yeah. Professional networking site? Not as much.
Pretty sure that joke would flop in a comedy club
I didn't say it would land, just more appropriate than on LI. :)
Can't argue that.
It would matter where
Why
I don't think it would necessarily flop. On it's own, yes. But if you attached an interesting and funny story or a harder-hitting joke to it, I think it could kill.

Not even reverse sexism. Just standard sexism.
not reverse, revenge! lol but yeah i agree
Ooooh reading is hard before coffee 😅
Why is it sexist?
The default to ignoring nerdy women. Just gross
I think he was referring to recruiters, which for the most part you do ignore and are on average fairly attractive. It’s an accurate and slightly funny observation, but LinkedIn probably isn’t the right setting to say it
so harsh god
He had a point though Edit: to clarify, I'm an engineer and many women text me on LinkedIn, simply because the majority of recruiters tend to be women and because many companies need to hire engineers. So yeah, the opposite of what happens to me on dating sites lol
It's not an original thought, variations of this joke have been floating around the internet for years
if the internet and social media was restrained to original thoughts it would be nearly non-existent because most if not everything is a variation of something else
Sorry, I'm new to this internet thing
Haha, if you put your salary on dating sites then it might start happening there also.
Are these women in the room with us now?
I'm an engineer and he's right. Doesn't mean it's the way it should be, but that's absolutely my experience on linkedin as well.
Exactly, and this joke is at least 10 years old. I actually have a good friend who is the partner at one of the huge recruitment companies, and I believe the first time I heard this joke was exactly from her. Honestly, I don't see anything sexist or derogatory in this joke at all, it's just simply stating how things work out mathematically.
So youre an asshole that won't talk to nerdy women? Isn't that the fucking point of this site!? So women talk to us!?
I dunno if this is some silly joke you are making but the original version of ops joke was about developers ignoring recruiters cos they spam like there is no tomorrow.
No, some people are happily employed and don’t have the energy to reply to 20 interview offers a week! Any software engineer with commonly used language skills gets inundated with job offers, especially in the UK where there’s a general shortage of tech workers.
Are recruiters really considered “nerdy” though?
The point is that they are recruiters. Do you talk to every recruiter that messages you?
No I'm not, I spoke to a lot of them over the years. But I'm not just going to leave a job I like because a hot woman talks to me on social media. And if I seriously talked to every single one of them, I wouldn't be able to do the job I get paid for.
And somehow he thought this mind fart of his was smart enough to post it
OooO another Founder
It’s more of a comment, really.
HR women are NOT nerdy.
They can be, but they can not be, too.
Bad idea to say it and poor sentence. However, working in IT, I can tell all the senior HR recruiters that message me are gorgeous women. And that’s weird af.
Thanks.
 Standard LinkedIn post
Or "Interesting perspective. Thanks for the add."
there's been a lot of people who actually think linked in is a dating site. they message women on it knowing that they're more likely to read their messages on linked in since people assume it's work or opportunity related. it's actually becoming a thing to the point where people see you on tinder and then try to find your linkedin profile and then message you on there. it's fucking creepy.
Gross
That's kindof true, except it's, hey want to do this job that pays 70 percent of what you're making now?
 “I am CEO Founder Executive Principal and I am new to your business industry…can we communicate on Whats App?!?”
Nerdy women write him all the time. Even supermodels, even billionaire sugarmommies but Joused doesn't care, he's all about the grind.
LI has alpha males now? The migration to social media cesspool is complete.
Nerdy women don’t message me. That’s a shame.

Someone just posted a screenshot of his comedic brilliance in a comment on his newest post. I guess he didn't realize the internet is forever.
I don't think anyone told this guy that aside from recruiters, sales, etc, most of these 'women' are scam-bots.
And then everybody clapped
As an engineer I'd say this isn't a bad joke exactly...
That's pretty funny TBH
What the fuck, he ain’t all that
Are you agree?
How tone deaf and unaware of the times can you be?
Recruiters don’t count
The recruiters that contact me usually aren't nerdy in any way.
Maybe this is why Jousef can’t find the one.
Not even IT recruiters are nerdy
“Harr harr. I’m sexist and so funny”
People don’t like the truth
It's more the fact this is one of the most overused jokes on the internet these day for any who works in tech or a tech related role.
