Populating a social network (non-adult)

On a new social networking website would you populate it with fake profiles, even if that community was tight knit and people are very aware of fake profiles?

I just started ballroombook.com, and am a little shy to populate it with 30,000 fake profiles, simply because people in the ballroom community are no dummies. They would sniff that out in a second and avoid the site. Yet at the same time the site will look empty and unattractive without people. Catch 22.

Naturally, on a dating site, I would populate it with 30,000 profiles in a heartbeat. But somehow I am shy to put fake profiles on a ballroom social network.

Gimme your thoughts.
