I like experiments. Thank you. This reminds me of something I once did on OkCupid. My real profile, I was honest. My profile indicated I was intelligent, creative, adventurous and literate, and also non-pretentious. Little iinterest was shown by other okcupiders.

So as an experiment, I created a separate profile. Female. Straight. Found a photo online of a young asian woman, stock photo. Filled out my profile with empty, hollow phrases, no real personality, vague, superficial.

This second profile got bombarded immediately with IM requests from hundreds of guys.
