Was the experiment a good use of my time? It was a fun week if nothing else, sort of a break from the mundane and boring routine of me working my life away. Experiments or rather experiences like this helps you to better appreciate the person you are and the blessings of your life.
If you are new to the experiment at this time well you can go through the other days to get an update.
Day 5:
Today my heart wasn't in the experiment. I was sort of awoken to this knowledge when I was saying my morning prayer asking for Charity, Patience, Kindness, Love, and Greater Faith. Well it was a conflict of interest or rather the idea of "drawing near to me with their lips but heart is far from me" moment. The good thing is I was drawing near to being a jerk with my lips (No I wasn't making out) but my heart was far from it.
The exciting thing is you can have a greater bond with your Father in Heaven and pray for the things you most desire, and as long as you are striving to do everything in your power to make it happen the Lord will push it along.
Hypothesis:
If being a nice guy repels girls from wanting to date you, then doing the opposite and acting like a jerk will attract girls.
Resolution:
Hypothesis, not disproven but supported more than anything. You will attract girls, both those you are looking for and those your aren't. However, you sacrifice potential end resolutions. You may conclude what you like from this experiment but as for me I will continue to be a nice guy.

Normal Day? You be the judge, but its normal for me!

"You will be blessed for being the nice guy/girl, and you are earning points in heaven. Those however may or may not be redeemable on earth, and sadly you can't redeem any of them like you do the points for using a credit card or whatever."
Dude, I'm in the same boat, and this is about the only thing that comforts me these days. I know what I'm doing is right, and while being a jerk would get me a girl, it's not who I am, nor is it who God wants me to be. So not only would girls see through my attempts to be a jerk (because, let's face it, girls inherently have the power to know when a guy's not being himself), but I'd be sabotaging myself in the big big picture.
My singleness certainly isn't from a lack of trying, nor am I lacking in what I bring to the table. I've followed the commandments, I do what the leaders of the church teach, and I'm blessed in every way except when it comes to dating. Yeah, it sucks being alone, but I guess in the long run, that's not a bad trade-off for everything else I've got. I'm sure it's the exact same for you. So if nothing else, we've got that going for us.
So what are your plans from here on? Because I've pretty much given up on dating for a while. Trying to go straight into dating with a girl hasn't worked, and being a friend and then trying to transition to dating hasn't worked, so I'm kind of out of options. Plus, everyone's still going to BYU or getting married to jerks or guys with nothing to offer, so it's not like my options were very numerous in the first place.
Going back to Day 3 and in reference to your conclusion as well, nice guys still finish, and they finish strong. I've been blessed with a lovely wife who loves me for me, not who I might have pretended to be (if I were a Tool).
