Social Experimentation Gone Wayward...

I don't know where to start. So the conversation arose about how men base their likeness of a person strictly off of looks.  I recall seeing a youtube video of a guy saying that a man will stay in a relationship with a woman simply because she's attractive, even if they have nothing in common and don't mesh personality wise.  I knew this was totally, if not, partially true but being the scientist that I am I decided to put it to the test myself.

Soooo, I created I faux twitter page.  All of the information on it was real, the conversations I had were genuine, the only thing fake was the photo...and my name of course.  The photo was of a, what society would call, beautiful light skinned long haired young woman, and in black in white.  I've only had this account open for about 3 weeks and already have almost 300 followers.  You wouldn't believe all of the compliments I've received, requests for my phone number, one person even insisting on travelling to come visit me...and believe me, they were serious.

Now, I know I [the real me] have a great personality, which is what I displayed for the faux page but I'm sure it wasn't sheer personality that they were going for.  The ones I kind of vibed with, I followed on my REAL twitter page.  Of the 4 people I followed, 2 followed back but only 1 actually tweeted me...after I tweeted him first.  All of these individuals followed me first and initiated conversation on the faux account.

This is where shit gets real.  One person in particular I really vibed with.  I felt bad getting along with him so well cause I knew it would come to the point of him wanting my number and I would have to disclose the fact that it was a fake pic.  That point came today and I was crushed.  I felt so bad for being so misleading.  I could have cancelled the account when my initial point was proven, but I was actually having fun with that alternate page.  I really never wanted things to go this far.  So anyway, I tell him that't not my real pic and he says "what does that have to do with the way we vibe"...

He logged off before I could explain to him that the pic has everything to do with the way we vibe.  As a matter of fact, I followed him on my real page, tweeted him and have never gotten a response. I'm still the same witty, sarcastic, and funny individual but like I said people can't see past looks.

All this to say, people who say beauty is only skin deep, and it's what's inside that counts are full of shit.  It seems like relationships, even friendships, are based off of the physical which is really sad to say cause you're missing out on some really great people.

I want to go ahead and delete the account, but I'm hoping he logs back on so that I can finish explaining myself before I miss the opportunity to talk to him again.  I really can't believe I care this much.  It would be nothing for me to say fuck it and get over it, but he actually expressed his attractiveness to my personality...so he says.  I just kind of feel caught in the middle of a predicament that I've created for myself.

I'm gonna keep all future experimentation in the laboratory. Lol
