I will confidently speculate that a majority of the pranksters--many of whom are undoubtedly lonely males themselves--would fall for the very same prank, if they were convinced the woman was real. What is being practiced here is something worse than mere cruelty; it's a kind of cruelty that will only work, if it does work, because the victims and many of the perpetrators share the same affliction.




That sounds right.

I'm with Marc on this one.
It's just plain mean.

I go on blind dates with women I meet online at free (and paid) dating sites.   So far, I haven't been "stood up" but it would really be humiliating to show up.....realize my date isn't coming.....and I'm surrounded by other men who were duped--and the whole thing is caught on camera so that a bunch of douchecanoes can laugh at us.

It's just not funny.




NocturnalStalker -> RE: 4chan Pranking Lonely Men on OkCupid, Luring Them to Times Square blogs.villagevoice.com — The (3/27/2011 7:37:20 PM)

Okay, okay, it's not funny at the moment but later on their kids will love that story.

That's if they can ever have kids.  Hahahaha...

Some time back, I created a thread called "If I were a scammer" or something like that.  My intent in doing so was to illustrate how easy I thought it would be to pull off some of the things that people fall for on the internet.  Most people didn't take the thread seriously.  In part, I think that had something to do with the fact that they have gotten to know Me enough from the forums to know that, as a human being, I wouldn't do such a thing.

However, that wasn't the point of the thread.  I have every reason to believe that I *could* dupe people.  I've got enough knowledge of BDSM to pull it off.  I don't even consider Myself that smart.  I honestly believe it would be easy go do if I applied Myself.

I see this as the very same thing.

I feel bad that I don't feel bad. I'm horribly desensitized. I can acknowledge that those individuals will probably be emotionally hurt by being duped as such, and while I expect everyone to take a rather paranoid-skeptical approach to online acquaintances I know that this is not the case, so I can empathize.

But, eh. For some reason, unless it's animal or baby torture, or it's someone I'm connected to personally, it's hard for me to do much more than the aforementioned acknowledgement and light-hearted fun-making of the situation. I'm a beast, I know. I blame the intarwebz.

keep posting there, bucko....I'll pull out the NocturnalStalker voodoo doll and before long, you'll be a bald lonely 40-year old and you won't have your handsome good looks or boyish charm to get you the company of a woman.

You know where you'll end up?  That's right.  Standing next to me in Times Square, going, "Excuse me, bud...have you seen a blonde, buxom girl from Iowa named Trixie?  She said she'd meet me here at 7:00 o'clock...."




pahunkboy -> RE: 4chan Pranking Lonely Men on OkCupid, Luring Them to Times Square blogs.villagevoice.com — The (3/27/2011 9:21:42 PM)

...as the net evolves--  this is perplexing in that-  10 years ago- this happened all the time- sort of... but today - most are ....past it.    tho that was also before facebook.

what are these duped guys supposed to think when there is a group of them?   who wants to be in the wrong place wrong time- if someone becomes unglued.

If you're feeling particularly blue, listen to 'Near The End'. Say what you will about the rest of the About Face album, but that song is all kinds of awesome.
I play drums at a Wed. night open mic at a bar up the street, and one of the tunes we did last Wed. was "Breathe", written by Gilmour I believe. I really need a couple more cymbals to do it justice.

u enjoy my profile qtpie?


See what I mean? You're enjoying yourself, while those of us with softer hearts are tormenting ourselves over pain we can do nothing to prevent, anyway. There's wisdom in being an insensitive asshole.



Yes, in a world where thousands of women are raped a day, children are dying of starvation, and people light animals on fire for entertainment, those of us not crying about some guys getting pranked online are assholes.

We must be a bleeding heart for every tear shed on the earth, right?

My apologies, but I'll stick to caring about things that matter.




LadyPact -> RE: 4chan Pranking Lonely Men on OkCupid, Luring Them to Times Square blogs.villagevoice.com — The (3/28/2011 10:58:49 PM)

Maybe it's just Me, but it's not so much that the guys are getting pranked.  It's that folks would actually join an effort to make this successful and try to target as many marks as possible.  It's not so much about being a bleeding heart.  More like not enjoying sharing the planet with those who cruel for no other better reason than for their own entertainment.




NocturnalStalker -> RE: 4chan Pranking Lonely Men on OkCupid, Luring Them to Times Square blogs.villagevoice.com — The (3/28/2011 11:02:31 PM)

That's fine and dandy but you also share the earth with serial killers, people who use rape as a weapon, child molesters, animal abusers, the Turks, and a whole slew of reprehensible creatures. Internet trolls getting "lulz" at the expense of a few guys who are really none the worse for wear after hardly make my disdain for humanity grow.

It's a matter of prioritizing. People are a terrible animal in general, but these pranksters are very low on the list of ones that make it so.

Anybody who thinks this kind of shitty behavior is funny never emotionally matured past nine years old (when tormenting the different kid in school, and using a magnifying glass on ants, was considered the height of hilarity) ... and can fucking suck the shit out of my asshole if they don't like it. Grow the fuck up and try behaving like a decent human being!

Where the fuck is Casey to body slam assholes like you when we need him?

I swear to god, humanity makes me sick to my stomach sometimes.

I'm pissed off.

Time to go home, smoke a doobie, and listen to some Pink Floyd.



Marc is right to be incensed about the behavior of these jerks. It's cruel.

Agreed. The only comfort is what goes around comes around.

I get what you are saying about prioritizing and I'm with you regarding severity.  So, just because it's not as severe means we should be glad that people would go out of their way to pull pranks of this nature?  We should just be anesthetized to lesser forms of playing with people emotionally because compared to greater atrocities, it's just not that bad?

That's one way to look at it, I suppose.  The other way is to say that any negative of human nature is still a negative.
