But, proponents of the theory suggest that the five-year age difference is negligible and point to Freeman's late start in his acting career as evidence of a life lived before under a different identity.
The Disappearance and Reappearance
Jimi Hendrix's death in 1970 at the age of 27 is a well-documented event. But, theorists argue that Hendrix's death staged. and he reemerged as Morgan Freeman.

1. Participant Observation of Male Behavior Within The Modern Dating Scene
-or-
The Wingman’s Lament
By
Joshua S. Seiler
2. The Questions At Hand
What behavioral changes take place when the environment is subject
to change? I had noticed that my friends and I, when going out, would
change our habits depending on where we were (drink orders, who we
would talk to, etc.). Since my home is rather large (there are 5 of us
under one roof) I thought that this would constitute a small but
manageable group to conduct a participant observation. Within this
group I would observe what behavioral changes took place when we
switched locations. By recording these changes I would be able to
better assess the behavioral patterns of the male in regards to social
habits. This is important because with this research one would be able
to better know their surroundings which, in the dating world, can be
the most helpful of Dindings.

11. Expectations and Concerns
I expect that this experiment shall go smoothly. My friends, my group,
are all varied in their character traits and how they handle social

My concerns are few but they are concerns nevertheless. I am
concerned about the two brothers and that their relationship may
hinder the real results of the experiment. I am concerned that having
known these men for some time, my biases may come into play when
taking notes about their behavior. And, I am concerned that if we don’t
carefully monitor ourselves, or drink with irresponsibility that it will
destroy the results of the experiment entirely.
12. Notes at Location A
‐ Upon arriving at the bar it is clear that this is a busy night. The door man
remembers us, we pass through a small line and immediately head to the bar
where the manager is bartending.
‐ The quietest of the group decides to leave for a moment to use the restroom.
‐ After drinks are ordered everyone, including myself, turn our backs to the bar
top and start looking around. This catches me off guard as the reason for going
out was to facilitate this experiment.
‐ There is a good amount of inconspicuous gesturing going on by my group to
other groups of people around. Comments about ways people are dressed, and
other judgments are made.
‐ Maybe it was the comfort level of being at a bar they frequent quite a bit, but a
lot of the behavior I noticed almost could be described as “catty”.
‐ The youngest of the group was the only one to make an effort to venture
outside conversation within group. He spoke with a blonde girl, and developed
a rapport enough to introduce her to the rest of us.
‐ We stayed for a little under an hour and a half.
13. Notes at Location B
‐ This location required the group to leave the comfort of their normal
surroundings and take a taxi in order to get their. I was made aware of several
times how good of friends I had that they were doing this.
‐ As we arrive at the hotel bar, I see two large gentlemen in suits who need IDs
and a form of back up.
‐ We do not know anyone this time, and the quieter roommate decides to not go
to the restroom right away. After being asked about it, he said he wanted to
stick around and see what happened.
‐ The other groups within the bar are all very well dressed, and seem of a
slightly older age bracket. Everyone in my group orders nicer drinks like
manhattans or an old fashioned.
‐ The same turning the back to the bar move is used, and I ask everyone why we
did this. I am told by all that it is in order to stand out, or “peacock”.
‐ Being slightly under dressed, the group is hesitant to talk to anyone. I ask if
anyone will, and all respond negatively. We stay for about 45 minutes.
14. Notes at Location C
‐ Getting back into a cab seems off putting to all, so we walk part of the way.
‐ The more “abrasive” male of the group starts doing something he calls “hey
girl‐ing”. The responses he receives all seem unthreatened, but also
uninterested.
‐ The male of the group who is in the committed relationship decides it is time to
check‐in with his girlfriend and hangs back to make a phone call.
‐ We all arrive at location C shortly thereafter, and are greeted this time by a
door man of no more than 21 in a hooded sweatshirt and smoking a cigarette.
‐ The location is fairly crowded, but the very talkative male has seen some
people he knows sitting down, so we are all able to crowd around a table near
the back.
‐ The group is now much larger, and no longer all male.
‐ After introductions are made, the quieter male leaves to put money in the
jukebox.
‐ Noticing that he has left the group again upon arriving, I am assuming there
must be some sort of anxiety about crowds.
15. Notes at Location C (con’t)
‐ I ask him how he feels about crowds, and his response is very passive saying
that he had never really thought about it.
‐ The larger group, now of mixed gender, has all began talking. People are mostly
talking to the person immediately next to him or her. The original group is now
divided. Each member buys separate bottled beers.
‐ The “abrasive” male begins talking to a brunette woman. He keeps his arms
crossed and in front of him. His head is slightly downward while he tries to
listen to her. When he laughs he seems almost conscious about not showing his
teeth.
‐ The male in the relationship joins the other talking to the brunette woman.
Since they are brothers, questions about their relationship immediately come
up. Both start to gesture more with their hands.
‐ The talkative male is speaking with his friend he saw when we Dirst arrived.
They are talking about music, and work. The talkative male has his legs crossed
almost effeminately and touches his hair a lot.
‐ After being asked about his behavior, it is conDided that he believes he is going
bald and has been anxious about this for a number of weeks.
‐ We stay for about 2 and a half hours.
16. Notes at Location D
‐ Location D is within walking distance of the last place. The quieter male
smokes a cigarette, and makes a phone call while the rest of us talk about the
group we had just left.
‐ Jokes are made about the male talking to the brunette. They are about him
being in love, and how the rest of the group can’t wait for the wedding. He
seems good natured about it. The majority of the jokes are made by his brother.
‐ As we reach location D, a man at the door wearing a polo shirt scans our IDs.
Loud music is playing and each TV has a different sport on it. This is by far the
most crowded location.
‐ The quieter male, as thought he would, excuses himself to the restroom, and
the rest of us walk up to the bar. There are stools around us and available, but
we choose to stand.
‐ A trivia contest is going on and the talkative male is shouting out deliberately
wrong answers.
‐ A group of four women playing trivia hear him, and after realizing this he
approaches them and offers help with their answers.
17. Notes at Location D (con’t)
‐ The four women were at a close enough vicinity to where we were all able to
contribute to their trivia team questions.
‐ The more abrasive male makes a joke about the talkative one and immediately
apologizes.
‐ After being asked about why he apologized, he said he didn’t really know and
maybe it was because women were around.
‐ Two of the four women seemed to have an interest in the male in a relationship
and he seemed to reciprocate their interest using body language.
‐ After being asked, he said that he had not done anything wrong yet, and
seemed almost as if I was being accusatory.
‐ We stayed for about 2 hours and the group of four women eventually left.
‐ Immediately after their departure, jokes and comments were made about the
male the two women seemed most interested in.
18. Conclusions and Summary
In conclusion, I found that the results were somewhat inconclusive. I wanted to
see more signiDicant behavioral changes, but saw only minor ones at best. What
became most obvious right away were more rituals than behaviors. First, there
was the turning away from the bar after we received our drinks. Much like a
pack of animals scanning for prey, it seemed like a very base instinct when I
was able to stand back and take a look at myself. Secondly, there was the
quieter male’s trips to the restroom whenever we arrived at a new location. He
seemed anxious, and almost needed to ease into new situations. This was only
different at the hotel bar where we all seemed under dressed and almost out of
place. I can only assume that being so entirely out of his element froze his
defense mechanism of leaving crowded situations. It is also interesting to
notice the change in drink order when the group found themselves at a nicer
establishment. Instead of the usual bottled beer, a manhattan or nicer cocktail
was ordered. Finally, the last behavioral note to mention would be when the
group encountered another group.
19. Conclusions and Summary (con’t)
Being in a larger group, and all being newly acquainted, seemed to give the
group a new feeling of security within the new location. This newfound
security, for lack of a better term, came with it, a new sense of bravery as well.
This is noticeable when the more abrasive of males chose to strike up
conversation with a brunette woman inside the bar. Another example of how a
growth in numbers may effect behavior or the very least, the bravery of the
group, is seen when the male in the relationship reciprocated the Dlirtatious
behavior of the two women in location D.
The results show that environment does have somewhat of an effect of the
behavioral changes of men, especially when the crowd is large and mixed
gendered. Luckily, everyone was relatively well behaved and was able to
maintain a level of responsibility. My expectations were a little let down so far
as the data is concerned, but overall I think the experiment was a success. Of
course, more experiments would need to take place.
