URL pimpin'

You thought I was joking about MySpace pimping? I was at work and some guy at my table was asking me about a girl that I work with. I told him about her, and later on she went over and talked to him. When I went to the table to pick up the check he left a note on my check saying, "C. J., tell _____________ that it was nice meeting her and my URL is ______________. WOW. I guess I'm their relationship proxy now. Was he too scared to say that to ask her for her phone number? What can you learn from somebody's profile (a profile which is probably 75% false) that you can't learn through talking to them? What did people do before MySpace? They had game. They had guts. I hope that girl balled up that piece of paper and threw it in the trash. Do you really want to date somebody who is scared to ask you for your phone number? Do you want to date somebody through what you learned in their MySpace profile for that matter?
