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.

Butterface.
Ok, so you're a democrat slut.
I can't wait until this guide turns into a movie like "He's Just Not That Into You," especially this bit: "He told me that his fetish was amputees and if something were to happen to me I would be right up there at the top of his list."
85% would date outside their income bracket = 50% men + 35% women who would date upwards.
Here, I found a page that might help:

Wow thanks! I have a degree in math but figured I would get my point across better than:
85% = 100% of the men + 70% of the women
OK. I just would have thought that with a math degree and everything you'd want to, you know... use actual math.
for that rack, i'll run for office
Gothamist staff should learn not to use (uncredited) photographs of people when they know that trolls and others will have a field day about any visible physical characteristics.
Yes, just like the NY Times, Gothamist has a right to publish (credited and with permission granted) photographs of anyone in public. But NY Times readers rarely respond with Igor-like cries of "Butterface" and "slut" to a photograph of a woman who never expected to be a survey's poster child.
Well she shoulda thought about that before she went left her house, huh?
I'll keep that in mind next time I think about leaving the house, in case there's a photograph of me online that can be attached to literally any unrelated story.
Look at her t-shirt...i think she enjoys the attention...
I only sleep with Jen Chung.
dem chicks are generally stupid enough to believe what you tell them, as long as it falls along party lines - so they'll basically fuck anyone.
Interesting point, "Internet Handle." I'd love to hear a Gothamist response to that.
Also, John, I asked this question yesterday about "Survivors of Flight 1549 Crying Over Lost Keepsakes":
John, a genuine question brought up by (but not only because of) the comments in this thread:
As newspapers struggle to make ends meet, almost certainly in part because of freely available blogs like this one, does the Gothamist feel an obligation to maintain certain journalistic standards?
I'd be curious about your feelings on this, not because I want you to say the "right answer" but because I'd like to know where the blog I read stands. I have a feeling I know part of the answer (here to point out cultural events/phenomenon, point to other media so you can read yourself, have some fun with some seriousness mixed in), but I'm not sure that answers the ethical question.
I'm a republican member of the NRA who's lying about that shit since the early 90's to get laid. Liberal chicks have a big empty space where their brains are supposed to be, so it works like a charm. Male liberals, I dare you to successfully pretend you're conservative. Our women don't fall for that shit. Then again, our women don't fuck anything that walks and has a keffyeh wrapped around the neck.
lulz
Are you confusing NRA and MENSA? Stick to your guns and leave the computers to us, dummy.
Unless you want herpes or something worse, it's probably not a good idea to boink women who wear t-shirts in public announcing who they like to boink.
she only sleeps with democrats which means she would sleep with probably 80% of the dudes in this city...way to set your standards high.
Can someone please change her shirt to read:
"Will sleep with anything I can get"
With a face like that, beggars can't be choosers.
OK, OK, some of you may prefer this picture:

For the "slut" and "high standards" comments: the shirt says "I only sleep with Democrats" NOT "I will sleep with any and all Democrats." This whole plain English thing can be tricky, eh?
apparently it is. you missed a comma after the first "democrats"
At the same time idiotwatch, a lot of guys have learned to look out for girls who wear shirts announcing who they will sleep with. It's a little crass and demeaning.
I think this is interesting. I'm a Democrat, but I'm of a more moderate bent (think Clintonian Democrat) While I'm engaged to a girl who was one of the uber-lib types. After three years of dating we find our beliefs have slid towards each other. I find myself more liberal on certain subjects than I used to be and she sounds downright moderate sometimes. Anyone had this same experience?
"At the same time idiotwatch, a lot of guys have learned to look out for girls who wear shirts announcing who they will sleep with."
A lot of guys and girls realize that slogans on t-shirts often are nothing more than that.
Pretty ironic because only associating with people that think exactly like you is hardly enlightened.
the great intellectual swindle of the left; 'liberals' are anything but.
Huh huh huh. Boobies.
I had one girl tell me about a guy she once dated. He took her out to dinner and at some point in the conversation, he told her he was a republican. She told me that she froze up not knowing what to say or do, that she was terrified of being with a republican and that she never saw him again. Parents need to tell their kids to stay away from republicans and never ever date one. Like this girl, they should stick to their own kind, you know, human beings.
This, of course, coming from the party of tolerance and acceptance.
Hello great girl i like it hmmm good article ever one like it thanks for share :)
