Dude was probably being set up for an arranged marriage by his family, which can potentially pair you with someone you do not share any interests with or even attracted to in the first place. With that context, it kinda makes sense that he wants someone who at least shares something similar with him, and I guess linkedin is one way of finding out (in his mind).

I have a coworker who had an arranged marriage, and apparently they work pretty well!

Based on a sample size of one person you know from work and what they told you?

More like 3, and stats they've claimed but that I haven't verified.
