Singh claimed it was intended as a joke, but the post garnered significant attention on LinkedIn, with many questioning its suitability on a professional platform.
One user commented, "This kind of post doesn't belong on LinkedIn. There are better places for jokes."
Another user commented, "Get real. Apart from being so outdated (100 years?), a post like this will harm your job searches. Attitudes like this in your workplace may get you sacked or the subject of a POSH complaint. Everyone who wonders why I don't see it as just funny, the reason is simple: it isn't."
Another user remarked, "Why don't you post these pick-up lines on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge or Shaadi.com?"
A second said, "What kind of post is this, and how can LinkedIn allow this nonsense on a professional platform? This is not Instagram or Facebook."
Meanwhile there were some who also wrote ‘interested’ in the comments section of the post.
