I look for things to chat about. That's it. If there aren't any then I'll find other things to chat about.
It's almost like a dating profile. You use the items as jump-off points to start a conversation and get to know the other person better.

That's a good description!
I'm riffing on a comment chain elsewhere in the thread about candidates who provide links to empty Github profiles.
Reading the comparison to online dating just makes me think of the dating profiles out there that have a couple of photographs, but nothing beyond the line "Just ask" in the summary/description field of the profile holder.
But agree, it's an interesting and apt comparison I think.
