...I should know. I recently signed up for myspace, and discovered how boring and ridiculous the site is. So, in a spirit of discordianism, I decided to shake things up a little and do some social experiments. I posted pictures of a friend I've known since high school (with her permission) of her back when she was age 16 (nothing pornographic obviously, just basic snapshots). Then I created a faux profile, listing her age as 19, saying she's a college student, in a distant zip code, loves poetry and Johnny Depp movies, blah blah blah.
Within three hours, the fake girl ("Lori") had already generated over 50 "new friend requests" and almost as many "new messages" (every one of which were male, of course). Some were mild but lame, "I like your profile. We have a lot in common" (when the profiles could be polar opposites) or "I like your pictures. You should be a model." or "Are you seeing anyone?"; some were stupid, "Hey sexy!" or "Hey, how have you been?" (this from a stranger); some were too rauncy to write here. Most of these guys say they're in their mid to late twenties. It's not that I expect to learn much from this experiment (I don't even know if it can be called an experiment). I already know the basics like: 1) Guys say stupid s*** to flirt with girls. 2) Older dudes are still attracted to girls who look obviously underage. 3) Guys say A LOT of stupid s*** to flirt with girls. 4) People online are not who they appear to be, but in some cases more truthful than they are in day to day life. 5) There seem to be more guys on myspace looking for a date (or just sex) than girls. So ultimately, it was just amusing to see what other guys write to girls, and how bad they are at introductions. And it has further enforced my conviction never to try online dating. Anyway, what do you think of this little action of mine? Unethical? Stupid? Brilliant fun? |

I'd say over 75% of that site is bogus info.

Are you wanting to take this whole my space experiment further? Or is what has happened so far all you need for satisfaction?
If you are interested in pursuing the whole thing further I would lead some of these old guys on.....and then at some point tell them how sick they are and that you have their IP address and will report them to the police. Sounds devilishly fun if you have the time....... |

Interesting experiment... not at all surprising. I would tip off the authorities or myspace if there are any excessive bouts of lewdness, though I don't know about myspace policies and such. I don't bother to lie online, ethics aside it's too much record keeping and I'm absent-minded, though I presume everyone else does.
