Those wacky guys over at Forbes have just released their list of the best cities for single folk. The criteria for decoding how single-friendly a city is was determined by a ranking of culture, nightlife, job growth, cost of living, number of single people, and how easy it is to get some via online dating services. So if you're traveling in the near future and want to make sure you run into your fair share of eligible single people here are the top 10 cities where you should put in some face time-
- San Francisco
- New York
- Los Angeles
- Atlanta
- Chicago
- Washington D.C.
- San Diego
- Seattle
- Dallas
- Philadelphia
We don't get how Philly could be better for singles than Miami or Vegas nor does it make sense that Portland (#29) ranks lower than Memphis (#23), unless there's just a lot more people trolling Craigslist in Tennessee.
Here are the cities that ranked #1 in each of the different categories-
- Culture - San Francisco
- Nightlife - New York
- Singles - New Orleans
- Job growth - Austin
- Cost of living alone - Dallas and Denver
- Online dating - Houston
