DTR

Homophily is basically the idea that we like people or things that are like us-- you know birds of the feather flock together etc. During a recent concert expedition we had a chance to do a little sociological research as we played "are you my (part-time) boyfriend?" with Kristen. She was wearing this American Apparel sweatshirt, and so was every eligible guy at the show. The game goes like this-- she approaches but doesn't actually make contact with them, while us social scientists fought to get a photo that captured their love. Please vote for who should be promoted to full-time boyfriend status in the comments.

The team:
Rebecca went to especially great lengths to capture the glamour shots.

This is hilarious.

I vote #1! I think 2,3,4 are triplets, or maybe the result of cloning experiments.

I thought 2 & 3 were the same guy. I vote for #3- there's a definite connection going on with that eye contact!

Being a sociologist myself...way too funny!

#3...he is looking deep in her eyes...

I want that sweatshirt! May it increase my chances of true love.

Bachelor # 3 all the way, baby.
