Dating for Dummies: It's a Jungle Out There
Headed to New York this summer? Don't forget the newest Zagat publication, "New York City Dating (and Dumping) Guide."
Is it okay to burn someone's belongings? Two percent of Zagat respondents say yes. To break up via text? Ten percent give it a big thumbs up. To snoop through email or texts? Thirty-two percent say they're willing -- as long as they don't get caught.
The guide also contains encouraging news for Boalties. Intelligence (92 percent), personality (91 percent) and sense of humor (90 percent) all ranked higher than “overall attractiveness” (79 percent) as a “most important” characteristic. Of course, this could be because two-thirds of the respondents were women, who at least claim to value looks less.
No word yet on "hooking up with a partner," or, for that matter, "trust." Maybe in the second edition.

PS: How do you pronounce "Zagat?" A discussion with my colleagues suggests there is a sea of opinions out there.

emphasis on the first syllable: ZAG-at. the second syllable is one of those indiscriminate vowel sounds, so that the word ends up sounding like ZAG-it.
I'm pretty sure Patrick just said Boalties are ugly.
Nah, I'm pretty sure I said they're a smart, personable group of people with an excellent sense of humor.
I'm with Matt. There was a lot of implyin' going on there. Regrettably, I feel my face doesn't do anything to change that...
za-GAT. jeez.
