Craigslist Experiment 4.0 - Geek Boy Edition - Part 1
You were wondering… what kind of response would a guy get? Girls are getting 30 emails in the span of a few hours…
Bad news, guys. It took this dude 3 DAYS to get a third as many emails.
Bachelorette #1
OMG, your puppy is sooo cute and you are quite handsome as well. I imagine that you will get several emails from women closer to your age. Wish I was closer to your age and body size.
Women are more guilty than men doing this… don’t write an email to someone about why you wouldn’t be a good match for them. Either write about your positive qualities or don’t write at all.
Bachelorette #2
hey im b——! i am a computer geek also…i am majoring in computer science! IM me sometime on AIM my sn is b———
Short, sweet, no picture. Guess we can assume college aged?
Bachelorette #3
Ah, the link to the myspace. A myspace full of hearts and the obnoxious music player that takes far too many seconds to find and disable.
Bachelorette #4
All fine and good, but from what I’ve heard, lots of women are interested in chatting, but never have the guts to meet in real life.
Bachelorette #5
Hi. My name is G—— and you seem interesting and down to earth. Not to mention smart; and I’ve always been drawn to entrepreneurs. I’m 22, I graduated from University if ——’s Business School and I work for a start-up Health Food company (notice the pattern with the entrepreneurial thing?). I’m definitely looking to own my own business as soon as possible, but I have to make a dent in those student loans first. It’s great that you own your own house, and have a place for Tucker to run around in. My little ‘babies’ need a lot less space, but they make me smile just the same.
I’ve included 1 small picture because of the 150kb limit imposed by Craigslist, but I hope you’ll find me interesting enough to respond to. Although I work in —, I live in —- and its hard to meet new people and make friends out here. So, have a great night and a good Memorial Day!
P.S. The dress looks a little tattered because my mother and I made it for Christmas.
Very normal! A tad bit on the long side, but she seems smart and sane. Green light!
…more from our bachelor’s email box next!
