Just when you think The Guardian cannot possibly sink any deeper into self-parody, it does. Tanya Gold went undercover speed dating to find out what men are looking for in a woman:
As a lawyer, I walked into a Soho bar. My first date appeared. I smiled at him, and said: "I am a human rights lawyer (grin)." "I work 60 hours a week (grin)." And watched him shrivel up. "I'm an engineer," he said (no grin). And then he was silent, so I told him I was reading Heidegger. He stared at me as if I had told him that I boil men's heads.Or bunny rabbits? Definitely rabbits.
Investigative journalism doesn't get much better than this. Not in The Guardian, at any rate.

She did overdo the "intellectual woman" bit somewhat but she does have a point!
Buon anno, DD!
