Tech email lists now getting dating 'briefs' that read like hiring posts

signulll shares that tech-centric email groups his friend is in are now receiving dating inquiries that read like recruiting/hiring briefs. The attached email is from a woman named Christina, who previously found a relationship through a similar email (though the partner didn't want kids) and is trying again with a refined "Ideally" list: 30s/early 40s, wants kids, kind and humble, healthy habits, works in science/medicine/engineering, and location-agnostic since she works remotely — even open to a blind FaceTime date. A quirky slice of tech-culture worth a share.
