Two nights ago, I just couldn’t sleep. So to pass the time, I decided to create a fake profile on PlentyOfFish. I took a picture of an 18 year old model from an adult entertainment website, slapped on a description from a PhD student in Toronto, and waited.

It didn’t take long. Within minutes I had 5 messages. Within 5 hours, this character had received more messages than my legitimate account on PoF had had in two years. Here are some of the golden conversations.
Him is a 26 year old man who considers himself “simple yet fun.”
Him: your to good to be true so sexy and cute
Him: are you up for some fun
Me: If that means robbing some banks, I’m all in.
Him: well let me know if your intrested i love to meet you
Him: could a get other pictures of you
Me: I’m not on here for sex.
Him: yes i know but your so cute i love to get a other picture i do have 2k if intrested
Me: $2000 for a picture?!
Him: aw no for more
Me: Details, my man, details.
Him: few hours of fun
Me: Sex?
Him: maybe are you openminded
Me: If you actually pay me $2,000 I’ll do it, sure.
Him: wen are you free
Me: Depends. If we fool around and have sex, would you pay me $2,000?
Him: yes
Him is a 47 year old retired father of three.
Him: how are you today ma belle 🙂
Me: Doing good dad 🙂
Him is a 35 year old who is apparently looking for a meaningful relationship.
Him: Would you like to be spoiled? Would you like to have a weekly shopping fund to spend as you please?
This is just a snippet. Many of the people contacting this character are old enough to be her dad. Out of the ~150 messages I’ve received over the last two days, I’d say about 4 had actually bothered to read the profile.

Oh I will. I’ll wait until I collect a few more before posting another entry. In the meanwhile, check out this winner:
This type of ”game ”, may have some academic possibilities for research into certain behaviours. However..How controlled is your laboratory? You are awakening the lonesome, the crackpots and worse ..
Do not play too closely with fire.
Have you ever thought of profiting off this? I mean, who’s to know the socks come from a hot young thing and not the clearance bin at the Sally Anne? You could make a killing on (somewhat) filling people’s fantasies.
Hrmm… Now that’s an interesting way to fundraise for Botnet!
