Zagat Dating Survey Says Political Affiliation Big Factor
The new Zagat "Dating (and Dumping) Guide" was just published, and it features the results of an interesting (albeit unscientific) e-mail survey of 2,029 New Yorkers, comprised of 64% women and 36% men. And there's some bad news for lonely Republicans in this bright blue town: New Yorkers are more likely to date outside their nationality (85%), income bracket (85%), religion (82%), age group (80%), race (67%) or education level (67%) than outside their political party (65%). Other revelations include:
- 19% of New Yorkers surveyed refuse to say they love their partner unless the other one says it first.
- 27% say they've dumped someone via e-mail, 11% by voicemail, and 10% by text message.
- 2% say that when a relationship ends, they burn their ex's possessions. Another 2% say they sell the crap on eBay.
- 54% say they would not date someone outside the NYC metro area.
- 25% say they've had success meeting someone online, but only 1% say they've met someone special at the gym.
- 32% say would gladly snoop into his/her e-mail if there was absolutely no chance of getting caught. 21% would snoop in the bank statement, and 31% would read a diary.
