The Hook Up: Life’s a little like `Bridget Jones’s Diary’
Published on February 8, 2007 by The Sentinel
“All women are either Betty or Veronica.” That
statement caught my
attention while watching an old movie on cable. This may be one of the
few relationship issues on which single men and women
agree. If you know who Betty and Veronica are, you
understand exactly what
this means. If you don’t, a more modern version of the same statement
is, “All women are either Jennifer or Angelina.” You with me now? It’s
the idea that women are either wife material or freakishly pretty
heartbreaking home-wreckers.
The waters get a little muddy when women apply the
Betty vs. Veronica theory to men. If you’re of a certain age [remember
"Bridget Jones's Diary"?], you know the best way to apply this to men
is to say, “All men are either Mark Darcy or Daniel Cleaver.”
But, sadly, the line between “good man” and “dirty
dog” can get blurred, especially since the main characteristic of a
Daniel is he has shining Mark-like moments that temporarily cloud your
judgment.
We here at The Hookup have developed a way for you
recognize your Marks and Daniels, based on a few simple telltale
behavioral signs.
