Name Crisis and Woo came up with an interesting experiment: they told me to find a picture of a busty young hottie and make it my default. I figured WTF why not... So I chose this one:
I changed NOTHING ELSE about my profile - still listed as male, 44, yadayada. Then Woo pimped me and the seagull out.
The results:
Me Name Crisis
checked you out: 31 3
Rated you: 25 1

I think that proves conclusively most men are stupid. Or at least unobservant...
Rock on!

Andy, Reeka and I repeated this 'speriment, with Andy in drag this time, and me using a purple gif with a bouncing bunny. Reeka pimped us out one after the other. Those results:

No change in findings - guys are stupid. Or very unobservant.
