The Best Cities For Singles??

OK, here is an article from Forbes Magazine "claiming" to know the best cities for singles. Check it out:

If you’re living life solo, Atlanta is the place to be right now. Its night life, high number of singles and job growth earned it the top spot. San Francisco slipped to second.

By Michael Noer, Forbes

For the first time ever, Atlanta tops Forbes’ list of the best cities for singles. The capital of Georgia and home of Coca-Cola earns the top slot because of its hopping night life, relatively high number of singles and sizzling job growth.

To those who know "Hotlanta," the ranking should come as no surprise. In the eight years that Forbes has been ranking America's largest urban areas in terms of their friendliness to the nation's 74 million single adults, only once did Atlanta place outside the top 10.

To determine which U.S. cities are most comfortable for singles, Forbes ranked the 40 largest urbanized areas in mainland America in seven different categories: number of singles, night life, culture, cost of living alone, job growth, online dating activity and coolness. To determine a city's cool factor, Forbes partnered with Harris Interactive, which conducted a poll asking, "Among the following U.S. cities, which one do you think is the coolest?"

Last year's winner, San Francisco, came in second this year, scoring particularly high in coolness (third out of 40) and culture (fourth). Overall, the coolest city was New York, while Midwestern cities such as Indianapolis (40th) and Columbus, Ohio, (35th) did poorly in the Harris poll.

Overall, New York ranked as only the eighth-best place for would-be lovers. In addition to its top score in coolness, the Big Apple was ranked as the city with the best night life and the third-best cultural resources. But young singles need to eat as well as party, and New York scored dead last in the cost-of-living category. The city also placed a mediocre 29th in terms of job growth. Economic factors have always kept New York out of the top spot on the list.

The nation's second-largest city, Los Angeles, came in 16th this year, a precipitous drop from its third-place finish in 2007. Blame the cost of living in sun-drenched SoCal and a lackadaisical online dating culture.

Jacksonville, Fla., ranked dead last this year, scoring poorly in all categories except online dating, where it ranked seventh. Providence, R.I. — last year's loneliest city for singles — fared better, tying with Memphis, Tenn., and Cincinnati for 33rd place. Religious Salt Lake City, a perennial at the bottom of the list, comes in 39th this year. Mormonism's hometown is penalized for its lack of available singles (39th), dismal night life (39th) and square image (coolness: 38th).

Some surprises: Orlando, Fla., which had never placed in the top 10 before, finished in ninth place. Minneapolis-St. Paul hadn't made the top 10 since 2002 but came in third this year. The Twin Cities scored well in culture (ninth) and online dating (sixth) and ranked surprisingly high in coolness (eighth). Perhaps some respondents thought the Harris poll was asking about the weather.

Forbes’ rankings are meant to be a guide for young, ambitious singles who, in an age of techno-mobility, can live and work wherever they want. The methodology focuses on career-minded "never-marrieds" under 35. Older singles, divorced people, widows and widowers might find slightly different criteria more relevant to them.

Here are the top five:

Atlanta
San Francisco
Dallas (tie)
Minneapolis (tie)
Washington, D.C.

Well well! Sounds like good job security for the team of "experts" who are generating this nonsense!

Here's the bottom line; There are attractive, high quality, attractive, single women in EVERY city in the world! There are TONS of women on internet dating sites on every city in the world. If you choose to believe in the negative and think there are NO women around you then you are going to end up dating NO women! I used to use that as an excuse believeing there were NO quality women in my area. I had a whole list of reasons including:

They're all too stuckup.

They're all gold diggers.

They're only into tall guys.

They're all emotionally unavailable.

They're all too fat.

Believe me, I was very good at coming up with excuses to NOT date women in my area.

Don't do it! You're only giving into fear. There are always tons of good women around you.
