"First things first, I&amp;#x27;d just like to say how proud (and intimidated) I am to have such literate and insightful readers. The Single-ish Book Club will definitely be meeting again soon. Second, am I the only one who noticed a striking similarity between Angie&amp;#x27;s schoolgirl crush, Jake Ryan, and The Fonz? But I shouldn&amp;#x27;t tease Angie, not after she invited me to a sexy media party the other night. The guy/girl ratio that was so stacked in my favor I almost felt sorry for the ladies. Emphasis on &amp;quot;almost.&amp;quot; I worked up quite an appetite hitting on Angie&amp;#x27;s colleagues, so after the open bar ended I convinced Angie, her girlfriend Sarah and one of their guy friends to grab a bite with me. My shitake burger was great, but not nearly as savory as the conversation, a no-holds barred bull session between four slightly drunk twentysomethings with nothing to hide. Angie&amp;#x27;s gonna hate me for this, but my favorite part was when she and Sarah launched into a brutally honest assessment of each other&amp;#x27;s former flames. A sample: &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;d say your last guy was a six, maybe even a five.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Well, if he was a five than your last guy was straight-up busted.&amp;quot; I kept waiting for the first punch, but they were laughing the whole time. For the record, I know Angie and Sarah were just playing around and would never date a jerk just because he was really, really, ridiculously good looking. But is it fair to say that women care as much about looks as men? And how honest are you with your friends when it comes to their significant other?
