Creator shares data from dating experimentfrom @jettmp4

[01]

Overview

The creator explains his social experiment of DMing 5,000 ASU sorority girls to see how many would "crack." He presents a data-driven breakdown of the results using funnel graphics, showing delivery, open, response, and interest rates. He then reveals his method for creating attractive profile pictures using an AI face-swapping app and concludes by stating his current "cracked" count (7) and the number of remaining prospects (61).

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Social Experiment Funnel

To document the results of a large-scale social experiment by presenting the data as a narrowing funnel, revealing a 'secret method' used to achieve the results, and concluding with a partial score and a cliffhanger to drive future engagement.

  1. 1

    The Audacious Premise

    Clearly articulate the ambitious goal or question being tested on a large, specific group, establishing the video's central conflict.

  2. 2

    The Data Funnel of Attrition

    Visually present the initial results as a multi-stage funnel, showing the significant drop-off at each step (e.g., Total Attempts -> Initial Engagement -> Responses). This quantifies the difficulty and builds anticipation for the final success rate.

  3. 3

    The Core Outcome Split

    Isolate the final group of responders and break them down into a simple binary result (e.g., Interested vs. Not Interested), providing the first major payoff that answers the core question of the experiment.

  4. 4

    The 'Secret Weapon' Reveal

    Pivot to explain the specific tool, technique, or 'hack' used to achieve the results. This provides a moment of value and insight for the audience, answering the 'how' and often serving as a subtle product placement.

  5. 5

    The Final Tally & Future Tease

    Reveal the ultimate number of successes achieved so far, and immediately follow it with the number of remaining opportunities, creating a cliffhanger that implies the story is not over.

Transcript

I DM'd every single ASU sorority girl to see how many would actually wanna crack. Out of around 5,000 d m's sent, somehow 86% left me undelivered, 29% just straight up good me, and only 236 actually cracked, I pulled these ASU girls by using the same method that I use on my dating apps where I just find an aesthetic picture of a model that they would already find attractive and just have Regen replace his face with mine so I can get some good photos on my profile. So far, I've cracked seven of them, but we still have 61 best. No you guys will wish me luck, especially so I don't catch anything.
