Oh Boy
Oh boy, have you seen this article about a girl's horrible profile?
I think it was a pretty funny experiment. I think online dating attracts the worst guys out there because it's easy and can be some what anonymous. I'd love to see a reverse experiment done on women. I'm not sure how you would do it though. Maybe do the same thing, super handsome guy with an awesome job or lots of money. But just a shit personality. I wonder how many dates he could get.
Um, we might not need to do the reverse experiment, I know a lot of guys with awesome jobs, lots of money, and sht personalities. Let's use Smart Guy as an example. He's okay looking guy, over 6' tall, makes a lot of money, and has a sht personality. Based on how he continues to ping me every couple of weeks, I am going to guess he's not doing so well with online dating, hahaha. However, if I was stupid, unattractive, or poor, I would totally be throwing myself at him...
J, I personally know a guy who did this. He and a friend set up a profile for him, and experimented with what attributes got the most responses. They found out if they wrote that he was tall (over 6 feet) and had a job, they got the most. That's all it really took. If they changed those two things, not so much. They did it so the guy could hook up with as many women as possible (I'm female and not condoning this!) It's amazing how many women hooked up with this guy on the first date. You'd be horrified if you heard his stats!
I love social experiences like this too, J! I mean, it makes me angry that my normal profile and pics don't attract as many guys, but I'd like to think I am attracting some quality men. Well, 30% quality, 70% creeps. :)
Funny, I've also noticed the 6+ foot preference that women have on OKCupid. You see a lot of sub 5'7" women explicitly stating that they will only respond to men who are over 6'. To me that's the same as a guy stating that he only wants C cups or bigger.
Too bad height and boob size don't do jack shit towards making a good relationship.
Hilarious, it's true that a girl saying she wants a 6'0" guy (at least explicitly) is like a guy saying he wants s C cup girl. We all have out preferences, but it's a bit aggressive to put that up front!

ReplyDeleteI want to know what that guy looked like!
