Your experiment is a good idea. It confirmed a couple of theories of my own, and I agree with your findings. Also, in reference to people friending you if you friend them first, it’s likely that they either: A) Believe that you know them, but don’t remember who you are or B) They realize what your motive is and have a similiar one, so they return the favor.

Interesting study, I agree with the conclusion and also Michael Woo’s comment, it’s human habits and human character as a sinner, so that the sexier the avatar the more hit he/she will get.

that’s some illustrative point. yeah, girls would tend to add those of the same gender even if they dont know them.

Cute – gets your visitors

Sexy – gets you added as friend AND visitors

Godlike sexy hotty – Your site would be the biggest hit, your profile is added thousands of times and you’ll most likely make tons of cash..
