Step Three.

As you may or may not have read about here, I'm embarking on a series of Killoggs-controlled dating adventures.

First: Craigslist.

Now: Nerve.com.

So... I'm making my profile, I plan on using some of what Myriam wrote here, but I also need to specifically answer the following questions:

Last great book I read:
Most humbling moment:
Favorite on-screen sex scene:
Celebrity I resemble most:
Best or worst lie I've ever told:
If I could be anywhere at the moment:
Song or album that puts me in the mood:
The five items I can't live without:
Fill in the blanks: is sexy; is sexier
In my bedroom, you'll find:
Why you should get to know me:
More about who I'm looking for:

Some of these questions are really odd.

One thing that came up today when I was talking with Meredith... I feel weird about being a super jackass on a site like this vs CL, because here I am attached visually to my profile, and people I know _will_ see me. So do I want to be as huge a jackass as I was with my first CL post? Definitely not. Do I just want to skip this sort of site totally and stick to CL? I don't know.

One thing that's interesting is that you can make multiple profiles... Which is kind of weird, in general - that allows you to make multiple versions of your persona, which doesn't seem like it translates into finding someone genuine.

that is weird about the multiple profiles thing. it's sorta like having multiple resumes tailored to specific jobs... everyone does it, but isn't it sorta like cheating?

anyway, i think if you're going to be a real internet celebrity, a la tucker max, then it would actually be better if your dating stories really are grounded in some basic fact. thus, while it's fun to be totally fake on CL, on a real site i think it would actually help your experiment and your goal if these really were somehow related to your real persona. maybe loosely based on you--but based nonetheless. that'll allow the joke to have more depth, anyway.

i mean, you're gonna have to carry a conversation with these girls and the date is going to have to last more than the 15 seconds it takes a girl to realize you're not who you advertised yourself as. also, since you are gonna be using the girl, in a sense, the least you could do is lie as little as possible.
    josh [email] said at 6:40 PM 10-11-2004:
    Yeah, I definitely agree. I'm not 100% sure I even want to use one of these more friendster-like sites to do this. I mean, I don't mind wooing people on CL with a profile designed to troll for jerks... But I don't really want to feel like I am using a nice person just to make Killoggs chuckle.

    I don't know, it's a dilemma.
      myriam [email] said at 6:45 PM 10-11-2004:
      i think the kind of kids you'll attract with a mostly-true post on nerve is... someone like us.

      soooo... i think you could go ahead and be comfortable meeting the person--you might even actually get along with them--and just go ahead and say, "you sound interesting... i'd like to meet up with you for dinner and a movie... but just so you know, this is a sort of experiment for me" or something.

      i mean, you don't have to make FUN of them, it'll be just as interesting for us if the date actually goes well! it's an experiment, after all, not necessarily a practical joke.

      as long as names are changed, anyway, what's wrong with sharing some stories with a group of friends? so far everything has been members only, anyway.
        myriam [email] said at 6:46 PM 10-11-2004:
        i guess what i'm saying is, go ahead and let killoggs run your love life!

        think of it this way: YOU are the guinea pig, not them. i think this started as as being a real experiment for your real dating life, did it not? I think that idea is fascinating.

        remember, being josh siskovich...
        josh [email] said at 6:55 PM 10-11-2004:
        Hmm.. I think you are right, Myriam. This is a good way of looking at it.
    jake [email] said at 10:37 PM 10-11-2004:
    Tailoring ads, like tailoring resumes, is totally not cheating, it's a huge part of the game. Every time I've hired someone, I've specifically asked myself "How did this person demonstrate that they read the job posting and understand already how their previous experience fits with this job?"

this is strange. can't wait to see what happens. heheh

I'm trying really hard not to get caught up in this Survivor-ish morass, but the best answer to "Last great book I read" has to be Mein Kampf.
