Fake Profiles

Alyssa Kramer, a Philadelphia blogger,  wanted to see how easily men could be tempted for a good time. The blogger created an outrageous facebook profile; creating "Marla", a sexy 26 year old from Queens, New York and wrote about her experiment for, her blog, Slackatory. She used the most ridiculous descriptions possible. In one line she described her body type as, "used up" and uploaded a photo that showed her hair lingering over her bare shoulders. She came up with a few of her own rules: don't make the first move, don't further conversations, and don't lead guys on. With all the weird suitors with strange fetishes, Kramer realized "There is someone out there for everyone as long as you're willing to settle for a guy who might be into some weird shit".
The article that I read was written by Llena Lorens on the Huffington Post. Her explicit diction made her article seem more real because she wasn't worried about being conservative. However, she didn't really describe what actually happened when guys chatted Kramer, which is a big part of the story.
