That link is only available to trib subscribers... do you have another link?
But, I did see the article (that I think you're referring to) in print. Here's a quick summary: A (female) marketing exec for Leo Burnett is supposedly an expert on "men". She's stereotyped them into a few basic types. I don't remember the names, but they're basically equivalent to "family-focused nerd", "corporate ladder climber", "old fashioned slob", and "metrosexual".
She's perplexed as to why she can't find a date. Perhaps the stereotyping is useful for marketing purposes but, when it becomes your real world view, that sure can't help your social life.

My whole issue with the article (besides categorizing....women love that when we do that to them) is the need to juxtapose the intersting topic of marketing to males with the disinteresting idea of this lady's love life.
Flip the genders. What kind of response do you get?
