Since my project is about having impersonal relationships and being anonymous on the web, I decided to create a fake Facebook and see how many friends I can gather. I want to see how many people will accept a friend request even though they don't know that person.
I will create a couple different Facebook accounts. One will be of an attractive female, one of an attractive male, and maybe a profile of a less attractive person. I want to see if people will accept friend requests. I think it would be interesting also to see if men are more likely to accept a friend request from an attractive female, an attractive male, an unattractive female, or an unattractive male.
I have created one Facebook account already and I have had almost 30 people accept my friend request without knowing who I am--more than half of them are guys.
