"Obviously men aren't being attentive to women's wants, and that's probably what prompted these women to contact me," Hulsey said.
But the real reason Hulsey has been the target of all of this female attention was not the desperate state of male-female relations, as he believed.
Masterminding the prank was Elizabeth K. Dotson-Westphalen '00, who met Hulsey last year on the First-year Arts Program.
Now in New York working for an Internet startup, Dotson-Westphalen saw Hulsey's quote online and devised a prank to make his wish a reality.
"I wanted to barrage him," she said.
So she sent his quote to women she knew he didn't know and asked them to explain a hope or desire in any way they wanted.
The e-mail made the rounds quickly. Hulsey received notes from women in D.C., Chicago, New York, London and other locales. Although only one undergraduate e-mailed him, a number of women at the Law School, who were in the midst of exams at the time, found out that e-mailing Hulsey was a great procrastination method.
