Dating Resolve

I occasionally take space here on the blog complaining about my dating life, or lack thereof. I thought the problem was obvious: I don't put myself into positions where I can meet the kind of women I want to date. Apparently that's only part of the problem. It seems that women are looking for fixer-uppers.

I stumbled across this column in a Philadelphia newspaper offering women a list of dating resolutions for 2008. Dump any guy who doesn't have a job or a car, the writer advises. Don't date boozers or married men.

Women need a newspaper columnist to tell them this?
