Trolling PlentyOfFish.com

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.

Fake PoF Profile

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:

    Him is a 29 year old father

    Him: Would you ever sell yer dirty anklet socks? ;p

    Me: I could be a one-woman factory; and ship my old panties/socks to vending machines, Japanese style.

    Him: hehe ok, that is wrong 🙂 you could be really sweet and send me just a pair of your cute socks instead?

    Him: You are really beautiful and I see very smart btw.

    Him: So I take it you wouldn’t offer your socks? Please?

    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!

    Him is a 29 year old man who likes to flirt, but doesn’t want to date you if you’re a bartender or waitress

    Him: oh hey

    Me: salmon

    Him: your reply to my first message made you srtand out from the bunch! Salmon.. so random. anyways wanna hang out soon? see if we get along lol, im sure we’ll be cool friends at least!

    Him doesn’t introduce himself, and goes straight to the chase. Too bad I read his profile.

    Him: hi there, care to meet up with me today??

    Me: I’m only four years older than your daughter.
