ORIGINAL: OneTimePad The Experiment "Don't waste My time! Prove your sincerity! You must provide tribute or your message will be deleted unread! Don't expect My attention if you are not generous! I am a Dominant Goddess yadda, yadda, yadda ..." This sort of profile is very common and I wanted to see if anyone actually goes for it. I copied the pics and profile of a suitably mouthy example and created an Amazon wish list for my new fake profile (giving her a new name and placing her across the country, of course) and waited for the results. The wish list had paperbacks, lingerie, shoes, soaps, and an iPod, giving a good mix of choices. The pics were of a sexy, 40-some redhead in fetish gear. The text went like this: The Profile Now taking applications for potential slaves. Applicants who do not provide Me with a gift will not be considered. This is your first test as a potential slave, do not fail. I offer to you, the opportunity to show Me how sincere you truly are. Beg Me to choose you as the lucky slave allowed the privilege of serving Me. You may begin by selecting a gift from My wish list that you feel will reflect your desire to serve and your possible worthiness. With that in mind, choose carefully potential slave! MsXXXXX's wish list: http://amzn.com/w/xxxxxxxxx Once your offering has been sent and meets with My approval, you will be contacted with further instructions. For now, your instructions are as follows: 1. select a gift from My wish list 2. send the selected tribute to Me 3. send a follow up email that will ONLY say "my first task has been completed Mistress" say NOTHING further! Await further instructions from Me! All other emails will be promptly deleted! The Results It only took 24 hours for someone to buy the fake profile a present. I was surprised it happened that quickly but someone bought a $20 negligee off the Amazon list and sent the required follow up email. Having answered my original question, I took the profile down at that point. (The fake profile had a fake address so his gift'll get returned as undeliverable and he'll get credited.) The profile actually got a lot of attention in those 24 hours. The most clever reply tried to start up a conversation without actually following the instructions by claiming the wish list wouldn't open. The other responses were just a sentence or two and fell into a few categories, here's the complete breakdown: Time range: 24 hours from May 19-20. Viewers: 71 (only logged in viewers are recorded so actual views were much higher) Admirers: 4 Friend Requests: 2 Messages: 20 total Complimenting either the pics or the items in the wish list: 6 Making a kinky proposition of some sort: 5 Denouncing the profile as a scam: 3 Saying "Hi": 2 Claiming to have followed instructions without buying anything: 1 Other clearly fake Domme asking how it's going: 1 Claiming wish list wouldn't open: 1 Actually following the instructions: 1 So, in conclusion, no wonder there are so many profiles like this. A longer trial would be interesting: Would the 1 gift per day rate continue? Would anyone make a grand gesture and buy the iPod? Expanding the experiment to have the fake profile interact with people would be (weird|creepy|fascinating|hilarious) also but I will definitely leave that to a more dedicated investigator. I want my 40 bucks back.
