Orit Arfa writes this singles column for the Feb. 14, 2008 issue of the Jewish Journal<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nNote to men: Flattery always works. He got my full attention. He introduced himself as Guy, and, with my full blessing, began to psychoanalyze me. He told me that I looked out of place and that my demeanor was unapproachable, intimidating, even condescending. I agreed that at times I can be snobby, so he advised me to start giving people a chance, to stop judging people superficially. He announced that he has special intuitive powers — it runs in his Tunisian family — and that he could foresee that if I didn’t lower my dating standards, I’d end up very alone. He took his forecast a step further by telling me that if he were to take me out to dinner, he’d have to put on "boxing gloves" — for I’m not easy — but he’s ready for the challenge. I’m not necessarily his physical type, but I intrigued him. \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
