The Best (And Worst) Cities To Meet Men
www.thefrisky.com
I saw this and thought about Boss' previous posts of the cities with the ugly dudes... A couple of the ugly cities are on the Best list...
Posted by: Wendy Atterberry Filed in: guys
If you’re single and looking for a great guy, how many times have you cursed the city you live in for its lack of eligible bachelors? Maybe you’ve even contemplated moving somewhere else where the pickins are a bit more favorable. Luckily, The Daily Beast has taken all the guess work out of where your next home should be. They searched cities around the country and found the best (and worst) spots to meet men. Measuring cities with populations of at least 500,000, they ruled out suburbs (too many married men) and focused “primarily on which places had the highest numbers of eligible men, percentage-wise.” They also “gave credit to cities with the highest percentage of single men with four-year college degrees,” as well as those with the most places to meet men per capita, including gyms, bars, restaurants, clubs, and theaters (what, no dog parks??). In total, 36 cities were included in the “very scientific” study. After the jump, check out the top ten best and the top ten worst.
The Best
1. Atlanta
Whether it’s the southern hospitality or the sub-tropical breezes, something about Atlanta is attracting all the right men.
2. Boston
With over 50 institutions of higher learning in the Boston area, the city has always been an ideal destination for the young and upwardly mobile.
3. Seattle
Microsoft, Boeing, and other tech companies that have sprung up around Seattle draw thousands of smart, educated guys from all over the world.
4. San Francisco
With those smarty-pants from Google and Facebook buzzing around on their scooters, intelligent guys with great careers are plentiful in San Francisco.
5. Minneapolis-St. Paul
The Land of 10,000 Lakes might safely be renamed the Land of 10,000 Dates.
6. Washington, DC
A city that’s all about networking unwinds at some of the best happy hours in the country, and unlike its hipper neighbor New York, people actually have time for a social life.
7. Austin
An exuberant nightlife, year-round festivals, and thousands of U.T. undergrads make the state capital a haven for art and tech lovers alike.
8. Miami
What it lacks in educated men (it ranked 24th in number of bachelors degrees) Miami makes up for in gyms and social life, coming in at #2 and #1, respectively.
9. San Diego
Like Miami’s beach bunnies, San Diegans tend to have great tans, great hair, great bodies, and because of the city’s high cost of living, lucrative jobs.
10. Denver
A growing arts district, top-notch microbreweries, and the nearby Rocky Mountains make the city scenic, fun, and appealing to outdoorsy singles.
OK, a summary: Boston’s got the yuppies; Seattle and SF have geeks; DC boys like to drink; Denver boys like to drink and hike; and the guys in Miami and San Diego have hot bods.
The Worst
27. San Jose
Compared to its more cosmopolitan sister city to the north, San Francisco, the geekier San Jose has a hard time hosting singles who want to mingle.
28. Indianapolis
The Indianapolis 500 might as well refer to the number of eligible men left in this city.
29. Memphis
You’re more likely to find a good BBQ joint here than a guy with washboard abs.
30. Las Vegas
All those wedding chapels must be for out-of-towners—for singles unfortunate enough to live in Sin City, good luck getting hitched.
31. Albuquerque
This sleepy southwestern town has Native American folklore and petroglyphs, but slim pickings for social life.
32. Oklahoma City
The Oklahoma Christian University lists Krispy Kreme as one of 76 places to take your date in Oklahoma City. Another suggestion: Sam’s Club, for the free samples.
33. Louisville
Situated in the heart of the Bible Belt, most of the men here are already taken.
34. San Antonio
So unless there’s a convention in town (and there usually is) the options in this city can be few and far between.
35. Jacksonville, FL
This is the city that never seems to end, sprawling for nearly 900 square miles. Despite all that space, Jacksonville has hardly any single guys.
36. El Paso, TX
El Paso came in dead last in three of our four categories (single guys, social life, and gyms) and nearly last in education.
Summary: All the guys in these cities seem to be fat, uneducated, and/or taken, I guess. But, what, I ask you, is so wrong with taking a date to Krispy Kreme? Obviously, the editors at The Daily Beast do not understand delicious cuisine.
Check out the full list at The Daily Beast to see how the other 16 cities in the study ranked and let us know in the comments if you agree with the findings for your hometown.

In most credible studies the percentage of gay americans (male and female) is roughly 8-10%. Even if you consider outlandish non-scientific studies the percent never exceeds 25%. Just something to consider when you start accusing every other black man of being gay in atlanta
Boss/MadamBA said:How you know it's not the case? You are in denial.
joe digler said:The hell you doing talking to jail or prison figgas anyway. Come on girls, you can't believe all the hype on this DL ish. It's pretty frustrating to hear you all talk this way when i know it is not the case.
Boss/MadamBA said:Girl...yes.
I heard stories from CO's saying the man would slob his boyfriend down and then walk out and kiss his girl.
kadydid said:I used to see a guy a while ago. He told me that we he visited his cousin her gay friend was at her house. The gay friend was HIV positive and was on the phone with a married man that had kids.
I also know a CO that told me that you would be surprised at the men that were in jail and a month into a jail sentence (you stay in jail no longer than a year) that were sucking or getting sucked off. These are dudes on the outside that you would think are straight.

That might be the number for people who ADMIT it hence the term DL...
Did I strike a nerve or something?

You sure did strike a nerve. I, as a heterosexual black man, am getting sick and tired of people wrecklessly promoting this idea of down lowism. i think it is overhyped. if it seems like i am getting sensitive about it is because i am. i and all of my friends are successful, handsome, down to earth, and love black women. it would be disappointing for someone to accuse us of being gay or dl just because some silly figga went on oprah talking about his OWN PERSONAL experiences with men.

For starters, San Franciso?? I live in the Bay area & SF is great for shopping, eating, hanging out, 1 nighters w/NFL rookies, not so much black men. ATL= DL black men. No offense to anyone from CO but Denver????
Also. like others have stated where is NYC?? When I lived there I couldn't get enough. So many young, black, paid men of all varieties. Really nice guys too
JustMe said:and why not?
Tommy McBride said:This list is obviously not geared towards "us".

As far as ATL, the key to DL is being secretive, so we already know those numbers aren't accurate... but I think its a general list of where to find men, and lots of sisters look for men of other races. But we can't look it and automatically assume it doesn't include "us" because... dating like life is what you make it...

@Justme - You're right, dating is what you make of it but if it were that simple there wouldn't be enough need for these type of lists. Better yet there wouldn't be an interest. Obviously there are men in any city USA but some have a larger pool of the type of man you are looking for.

First of all I don't understand why Miami is ranked so high on the list. Even though the city has TOO many beautiful women, its filled with a bunch of FUGLY dudes. Secondly because everyone wants to come here just to party the number of serious men ready to settle down in a committed relationship are numbered. Not the city for educated black women at least, Cubans seem to clean up though.

I reside in Indy and am not surprised that it's one of the worst cities. In fact, I'm surprised it isn't lower...
