Top Picks: The LA Restaurant Guide to Male Psychology
When looking for fresh reasons to reject potential hookups, never rule out food as a means of ruling out. Nothing reveals more about a person than what they put in their mouth. Newly arrived in the U.S., Australian magazine publisher and writer Babe Scott is on an anthropological expedition to see if American men's food and restaurant choices give clues as to their romantic and companionship potential. Having amassed a wealth of research in New York, she's now turned to LA, conducting her field work via her website, where she invites interested men to take her out for a meal. Her findings -- to be mercifully anonymous -- will be compiled in a book, but for now, she's happy to share some observations and restaurant recommendations gleaned from her study.

Cheese connoisseur: A man who plans his meal around the cheese plate is guaranteed to be a keeper. "Cheese eaters are extremely sensual, sensitive, and appreciate … nuance -- qualities rarely possessed by the average guy. Plus any man who can stare down a Stilton isn't going to be a dud in the sack." Put this theory to the test at beautiful Melisse in Santa Monica, where the extensive cheese plate is legendary and beautifully accessorized. [link]
