Dave Itzkoff explain his profound distaste for Breakfast at Tiffany's Holly Golightly. And it's not just Holly herself but the archetypal movie heroine that she spawned. Was Audrey Hepburn so convincing? Or are capricious women just looking for a heroine wherever they can find her? Or are all of these just ugly female stereotypes?
Is he boyfriend material? Depends what you mean. If you're into training new boyfriends, or just really like someone who doesn't have a lot of experience, you'll agree with Dave Itzkoff: all men are inherently datable. He suggests that you only have to follow Guns N' Roses advice and have a little patience. Read first hand how Dave's first "real" girlfriend helped break him in. "While I sometimes wish I were the sort of person who could claim to have a checkered past, the truth about my romantic life is that it's no more dangerous than a game of dominoes. In my dating history, there are no great love affairs, nor any illicit one night stands—and not for a lack of trying. Rather, my clumsy attempts at couplehood always fell apart in my overeager hands. And my dad had already been married to my mom for three years at the age at which I found my first legitimate, post-collegiate girlfriend: 28."
