Zoe Strimpel has been a journalist since graduating from Cambridge in 2004. She put her English degree to good use by writing features such as: Can Men Fancy Talkative Women? - an experiment conducted using short skirts and a couple of trips to Zoo Nightclub in Leicester Square. So conclusive were her results - they can't - that Vanessa Feltz took her up on it on BBC Radio London. It was when she became thelondonpaper's Girl About Town dating columnist in October 2006 that she began thinking about the peculiar behaviour of men in earnest. The weekly columns prompted heated responses from London's commuters: women related, men reacted. She has since written on the odd relations between men and women for Cosmopolitan, the Sunday Times Style magazine and The Times, and has appeared on BBC One's Sunday Life as a spokesperson for "freemales," women who genuinely enjoy the single life. She is currently a features writer for City AM.
