So I have been doing a little experimenting with social media as of late. This experiment goes on in a couple places that I am not going to name because I don’t want to call out/embarrass anyone by this… I have not done this on sites where I am normally a frequent user.
The premise for this experiment was “Create a social media profile with a girl name and cute picture – create another with a boy name and decent boy picture. Be active on each of these about the same amount and invite friends and comment in about the same way.”
After a month of “research” the girl-name/cute picture has three times as many “friends” and receives generally positive messages nearly daily and responses to “her” comments. While the boy-name was shot down on even his first comment and made fun of, and to date has no direct messages.
Conclusion – By having boobs you make friends more quickly and slow the generally “quick-witted-sarcastic-hate filled-comments” that reside in the vast majority of the male social media people.
To further justify my conclusion (and what prompted me actually posting about this experiment) I direct your attention to this hot sphinn topic. I made this same list, but since I don’t have boobs no one cares. 
Just to be clear, I am not bitter about this. Shana really does deserve this biglist mention because she is a rather awesome blogger.
I just got lucky with a fan-boi post. 
Congrats on making the BigList too Wingnut!! There were a total of 8 amazing bloggers who made the list including you and I. I know that Marty made a big deal on Sphinn about me making the list, but for reasons that I am not sure that other bloggers understand. I was a top sphinner before I even had a Social Media Blog. I came to sphinn to gain more knowledge of SEO and Social Media Marketing. While I frequently visited Sphinn I gained plenty of knowledge, but even more important to me were the people I met along the way… including Marty. Marty become my mentor and taught me so much in a short period of time. He gave me the confidence to start my own Blog http://www.socialdesire.com/ . Being a Top Sphinner first and then a Social Media Blogger is quite odd and I believe Marty was just so proud of me that he wanted to shout it from the Mountain Tops…. instead he shouted it all over Sphinn.
Anyway, I know that you have no hard feelings towards me, but I really don’t think it is a male vs female thing in this case…. Marty is just so proud of his student.
Congrats on making the list, Dave. It is an honor to be on the list with you.
Shana
I just thought it was a funny example of something I have been doing on a couple of other social media sites and knew you would be a good sport if I used it.
And again, as always, you are too nice
Nothing towards shana, but I have to admit that girl avatars catch my eye more than male ones do.
So there could be some truth to your recent study. Very interesting.
