[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daily DCUM “get out of your bubble” PSA:

No, most adults do NOT have/maintain a LinkedIn account.  And it’s ridiculous to assume that they do (or should).[/quote]

Most people in DCUM land and the people we associate with in person do, so the standards of those in the bubble is actually relevant here.

And come to think of it, I am from a very rural town in the west where most people barely graduated from high school and everybody I know from home who has a white collar job has linkedin. [/quote]

LOL.  In DC you are absolutely SURROUNDED with professionals who do not use LinkedIn.  Use your brain.[/quote]

+1 (I am from a rural area but not dumb like you…many professionals in DC are not on LinkedIn.)[/quote]

I did some googling (with my apparently dumb brain that I don't use) and 220 million people on LinkedIn are from the US. The population of the United States is 330 million. But maybe you guys are right and the DC area just happens to have a much smaller ratio of people using linkedin! [/quote]

NP. There’s no way that there are 220 million individual US accounts on LinkedIn.[/quote]

PP here, and yes, that is true. But even if it's half that, that is still a hell of a lot of people and it's highly unlikely that in DC we are surrounded by people who don't have linkedin.

and going back to the OP, a lot of people who don't have Linkedin have some other social media presence. Having social media is so common that it has become the norm and almost everyone who doesn't use it abstains for a particular reason like valuing privacy or for their job. So it makes sense for someone to wonder why someone isn't online at all. I think it is more common for a man like the one OP mentions to be lying about their identity than it is for them to have zero internet presence. And I wouldn't yet give him too many kudos for not having social media; there are people who have throway accounts just so they can make creepy comments on the posts of instagram models. You don't know someone until you know someone. [/quote]
