I have an Internet "makeover"

I have got a distinct impression that worldwide web is similar to the real world. That people tend to gravitate towards glamour and status and not the "content of one's character" (to paraphrase the eloquant Dr. Martin Luther King).

In my Facebook account, I have appended the following picture in my "picture profile":

with the following bio-data:

"A rascal and a slacker.in other words, i am bart simpson's adult alter ego. I am also imbued with a strong sense of wanderlust. Or as my mum puts it: "a good for nothing aimless bastard". (she also adds 'get out of the house' after these words)


Okay so what if Wayne "Shrek" Rooney looks handsome if standing beside me ... i have other redeeming features:

i am kind, lovable, self deprecatory, funny (and not talking abt my looks), generous (when i have $$) and accepting .... i take you as you are (unless you are a transexual who has a bigger d**k than me)"

I then invited ten persons (five male and five female) to be my friend. Out this only two persons responded. Both guys. And one of them later would "un-friend" me.

Now I will tweak my profile just a tad. By a tad, I mean just putting up a different picture in my profile and by inserting in the following "pretentious" words.

"The picture is obviously not of me. It is a manifestation of what I think of myself presently.



I am a 'faceless' angel who wants to help make your life just that a little bit better. If it is within my powers, I will do so unconditionally. Write me."

I have not tested the whether this 'change' will generate a better response in terms of getting people to accept "ansonsohna" as a friend. But I somehow think that it should.

Now what is exciting here is that both of the pictures are but different visual expressions of the "same me". They are both fictional constructs emanating from my mind. 

Will the 'angel' picture and the "obtuse" hip-sounding  (but ultimately meaningless) messagefare better? Do people respond to facades?

Tell you what you think? And what will be the likely result ......
