Jess conducted a small social experiment

A few of our staffers had the bright idea of registering on okcupid.com, a free online dating site.
While I’m perfectly content with my current status, I’m also an asshole, so I had some fun with this. If you want to stalk me–and have this post make any sense to you–my profile is here.
The frightening part of all of this is that despite going out of my way to appear at best unapproachable and at worst somewhat ill (in the literal, not colloquial, sense), within 10 minutes I had a full inbox.
Some were generic:
Speculation my ass.
Dude, you really don't want to know.
Some tried their best:
Actually, it does. And frankly, it's a perverse one.
How dare you question my originality!
I was being honest.
You try it out first and let me know how it goes.
And some were refreshingly honest.
If he even knew the half of it, I'd scare him a lot.
I learned a valuable lesson from all of this that I want to share with you.
No matter how obnoxious, deranged, or stupid you are, if you have a profile photo with cleavage in it, people will still like you. Hooray for attention!
Time to get back to my love life. Ay yo, Mark Sanchez? I was serious about that part.

Your profile is hilarious! If I were a dude, I’d say hey. But only cause you have big boobs.
Amazing! Nice work.
hahaha I so love this and totally agree. This experiment was incredibly sly though! cheers
Embarrassed myself laughing out loud while reading in Starbucks.
But way to go on that meth thing. Keep up the good work.
