Where To Meet The Best Bachelors?
Check this out, ladies.
The Daily Beast locates the 36 best US cities to meet the best bachelors. Surprise, surprise: NYC and LA don't rank too high!
In search of the eligible men, The Daily Beast first measured cities with at least 500,000 residents (excluding suburbs where there's higher percentage of married people.) The definition for being eligible is then set: single men between the ages of 18 to 49 (60% of the weighting). Next, cities with the highest percentage of single men with four-year college degrees are pinpointed. This would define men with brains and future earnings power (60% of the weighting). Lastly, the eligible bachelors are expected to be thriving in recreational centers so the cities with the most gyms per capita and the cities with the most number of nightlife spots per capita - bars, restaurants, clubs, and theaters - are credited (each 10% of the weighting).
Et voila! America's most dateable great guys — smart, fit, fun, and singles — are lurking in Atlanta and Boston.
See the complete list of the 36 biggest cities, ranked from first to worst:
1. Atlanta
- southern hospitality and the sub-tropical breezes attract all the right men
2. Boston
- ideal destination for the young and upwardly mobile
3. Seattle
- tech companies draw thousands of smart, educated guys
4. San Francisco
- intelligent guys with great careers are buzzing around on scooters
5. Minneapolis-St. Paul
- the "Land of 10,000 Dates"
6. Washington, DC
- with some of the best happy hours in the country, there's plenty of social life here
7. Austin
- a haven for art and tech lovers
8. Miami
- gyms and social life compensate the city's lack of educated men
9. San Diego
- great tans, great hair, great bodies, and lucrative jobs
10. Denver
- arts district, microbreweries, and Rocky Mountains appeal to outdoorsy singles
11. Portland, OR
12. Columbus, OH
13. Chicago - lack of gyms pulled the city down to 13th spot
14. Los Angeles - Hollywood it is! But the city doesn't attract intellectual men.
15. Baltimore
16. Milwaukee
17. Tucson
18. Houston
19. Nashville
20. Tampa-St. Petersburg - beaches make way for nightlife and men who stay in shape

24. Phoenix
25. Philadelphia - there's just not enough men
26. Charlotte
27. San Jose
28. Indianapolis
29. Memphis

31. Albuquerque
32. Oklahoma City
33. Louisville
34. San Antonio
35. Jacksonville, FL
36. El Paso, TX - lack of single guys, lack of social life, lack of gyms, and nearly last in education
