Grow some balls, get off your computer and go talk to women. No city is going to make random women suddenly approach you because of some insignificant ratio.
I do talk to women but most of the time, they drop the "I have a boyfriend" cliche. I'm just lucky that her "boyfriend" is not hiding somewhere with an M16 with the finger on the trigger.
But from all my travels, metros with < 400k sees a vast majority of its population getting married by 25. Sure that large cities has more singles but many large metros (NYC, LA, Bay Area) has a "rat race" lifestyle.
Dude, the ratio isn't your problem. You're over thinking romance. Any major city should work fine, for 'single millenial men' as cities attract young professionals, period.
Focus more on somewhere you would enjoy living, going outside, doing your thing (wtv that is for you), and you'll find that you'll meet more people in a place where you are happier and will have more energy to socialize.
If there is a city which has a huge amount of single millennial women, I wouldn't want to go back home and stay out as much as I can. I have to agree that something has to motivate you to go out. Whenever I go to the SF bay area or Socal, I feel so alive no matter the ratio. But when I go to a very small metro, I have no motivation except to stay home and play video games.

It definitely depends on the culture of the area. In the Phoenix metro many get married by 25 as well. Not that you couldn't find singles but they are much tougher to find unless you are in certain areas or partake in certain activities (aka clubbing, bars, college, etc.). I'm sure in a city that emphasizes career over family like NYC or the Bay you will find a lot more singles who prioritized career over marriage. I haven't heard of a city with a happy medium either between career vs. marriage/family... But I'm looking for it. Even here in the sleepy desert they take the extremes.
As a single Millennial woman it's not necessarily easy for us either. My standards are high too though to be fair. And most of the single men here are A) douchelords, frat guys, or players or B) Not attractive, sort of creepy, or bland personality.
In my case, I probably do need to leave Tucson, since there are next to none working professionals here since Tucson has next to non-existing economy to support them.

If Denver is too expensive for you, then avoid California, Seattle, Portland...try Austin, Dallas, Nashville, Atlanta, Raleigh.
Sex ratio is everything unless you are an alpha male. I went to two colleges. One had a female surplus and I had more female companionship and sex partners than the rest of my life put together. When I went to college with more men I never dated at all as it was a sausage fest everywhere I looked. Beta males in cities with a high proportion of males don't have a chance.
While I agree with the sentiments of many of the posters who claim that the ratio is irrelevant, that it is ultimately up to the individual to make moves and land dates, ratio can and does play a factor to some degree.

OR, just be a down-to-Earth, honest and open individual with any kind of personality (that separates you from the herd of sheep) and you'll be fine. Just be yourself......older (30+) women dig it!
It was my real life experiences. You mention science, how about math. When there are more young single men than women in a city it is mathamatically impossible for every man to pair up with a woman. There will be left over men period.
Though I wish a few more had good answers, instead of using this as a chance to brag about their sexual exploites. Internet, people got to convince strangers that they have an epeen (sorry not convinced)
Thanks to those who posted some citites. Though I was really hoping to find either a raw database or a website that lets me play with the numbers.
Also I thought I established that I know ratio suck in their 20s. The problem with Denver is the crime and costs. That translates into a long commute and no time doing social stuff. Not to mention the types of people who are attracted to the pot capital of the US.
I was afraid no one would know of a good database. Just one or two factors is just not enough!
