Social Experiment of the Day

Writer Alyssa Kramer recently created a desperately unattractive -- and fake -- OkCupid profile for her "white trash" alter ego "Marla." (Embiggen.)

"The goal was to be as incredibly weird, rude, and unattractive as possible to see if guys would still talk to me," she said.

Much to Kramer's horrified amusement, Marla the Lowlife garnered plenty of interest -- the attention she received is equal parts disgusting, creepy, and... predictable.
