Here is some information on all of these fellas.

Alex, 30


Occupation: Truck driver

When he's not at work: "I'm at the gym working out or trying to decorate the apartment I just purchased."

Nice-guy cred: "You can count on me. If I say I'm going to call, I call."

He says: "When I worked for a major music label, I had no problem getting dates. But now that I can be seen stocking grocery store shelves-I'm in food sales and deliver cookies to supermarkets, delis, drugstores-it's different. I once tried to holla at a woman in a store, and she took one look at me and said, 'I don't go out with guys who make less than I do.' Funny thing is, I doubt she was right about how much I make. I own a business franchise. You just can't tell that by looking at my uniform. Simply because someone drives a delivery truck, doesn't mean he's not the owner of that truck-and a lot more."

I had a problem with the snippet on this one. this is a lie... his occupation is BUSINESS OWNER, PERIOD. they botched this one to make him look like a charity case... he is ok without this article, he needs to keep the faith.

No, I think it was deliberate. How many women kept reading after seeing truck driver. That was the point he wanted to make.
