Dating for Dummies: It's a Jungle Out There

Headed to New York this summer? Don't forget the newest Zagat guide, "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 survey also revealed encouraging news for, uh, 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."

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