Now since Erin has found someone, I have determined that perhaps..its me. I think its time to go beyond The Macaroni and Cheese theory to now research a deeper reasoning behind my ever lasting inability to meet anyone. This will become the Spinster Project. I will be taking it upon myself to research what social inadequacies are taking place in this modern world and what exactly I'm doing wrong. This will involve placing myself into social situations and watching the action (or lack there of) unfold. Yay for research and free time!
Test 2: Class
Date: 11-6-01
Setting: Interval
time between classes in hallway.
Subject: The
subject was wearing regular clothing everyday school clothing, nothing
too flashy. Subject was in a pleasant mood and was hopeful for an
eventful day. Subject decided to speak to a male subject before class
in attempt of getting to know the male subject better and possibly seeing
him as more than just 'a subject'.
Hypothesis:
There was no hypothesis for this was an unplanned test.
Result: Male
subject spoke briefly to subject and revealed that he already has a girlfriend.
Conclusion:
Unsucessful. Male subject is taken already and has no interest in
leaving behind his current. Subject has come to the conclusion that
she is the only over 20 year old single female on campus. Self esteem low.
Subject is considering excessive alcohol consumption as a means of resolution.
Test 1: Halloween
Party
Date : 10-30-01
Setting: Party
involving a mixture of males and females in one confined space including
band and refreshments
Subject: The
subject will be wearing a Cat in the Hat costume. Tight black pants and
sweater with red and white striped tall hat and some light face paint.
Hypothesis: As
the subject, I am making an educated guess that the social norms of this
party involve only freshmen females meeting new males. From previous
experience, when I initate conversation I do not recieve an interested
response. I shall be ignored or winced at, then the male shall move
on to another subject. Also waiting for intiated coversation will
be a waste of time. However, both approaches will be attempted in
the name of science.
Result: Hypothesis
was somewhat correct. I spoke to Hugh Hefner and a Frog. Hugh Hefner just
was trying to figure out what my costume was then walked off and the Frog
just asked me what the score of the baseball game was on the tv was and
also walked off. I determined that perhaps my costume may have also been
too cutsie perhaps. I noticed the other ladies with far less clothing on
seemed to be collecting male subjects. My attempts at initating conversation
were unsucessful. I also chose not to drink, unlike most others there,
assuming that keeping my senses sharp would be helpful. Apparently not.
Conclusion:
Unsucessful. No male subjects met, no connections made. Self esteem
low. Cigarette smoke stinkage high.
