"Cities for Dating"

A list of America's Best (and Worst) Cities for Dating.

This study is based on criteria that include percentage of singles ages 18-24, population density, and dating venues per capita such as concerts, coffee shops, bars, bowling alleys, and other typical hotspots. It includes 80 metro areas in America.

My hometown -- Milwaukee -- is ranked as the 43rd best city for dating -- which, incidently still puts us in the bottom 50% of the results.

According to the study, there are 9.1% of us in the state's population that are between the ages of 18-24, and of that percentage, 82.6% of us are single. We have one of the highest scores for the number of establishments to meet people, which is good... However, in comparison to the other 79 metropolitan areas, we are the 16th lowest city when it comes to spending money out socializing.

Translation: Those of us 18-24 year-olds here in Southeastern Wisconsin either really know how to socialize and date without spending money, or the majority of us just don't get out much.

Overall, according to the study, Austin, Texas is the best city in which to date, while the worst city for dating is Kansas City, Missouri.
