Also, besides the milder averages, the sleet falling today notwithstanding, in general the winters in St. Louis will be somewhat shorter than in the two 42-latitude cities being mentioned.
TSheldon, if you could tell us some of the pros and cons you've seen in cities you've considered, that might help users focus in on cities that have more of the pros and fewer of the cons. You've said that cost of living isn't a huge factor, but is there a maximum rent, even if your maximum rent is fairly well up there? Would you prefer more of an old-style, densely packed city, or more of the Sun Belt look? Those are a couple of factors that could help narrow this down, but any details you could provide about what does and does not work with cities you've considered would help as well.
Aside from that, have you considered Atlanta? Or if being near, rather than right in, a major metro area would work, how about Athens, GA? Great music scene from what I hear, though I've never been there. If you want winters even milder than those in Georgia, in addition to warm-weather cities that have been suggested, how about Houston, San Antonio, or the Florida cities?
24 year old single guy what city in the US would you most want to live in?
Whichever one had the highest percentage of 20-24 year old women. Jeeze this is a no-brainer . A place that had employment and decent weather would be an added bonus though.

You do have something here. Why didn't the rest of us dummies think of this? Duh!
LOL, no kiddin'. So the bottom line is, check out this map, avoid the blue areas and focus on the red areas -- the bigger the better. Given your warm-weather preference, looks like Atlanta is your winner.
As far as percentage of women versus men, cities generally have more women since women typically live longer.
That presumes an even distribution of respective populations across the cities. The map referenced above clearly dispels that notion, at least where singles are concerned.

Correct, and then factors such as migration/moving for employment, schools, military, etc., along with number of boys vs. girls being born [generally and regionally], and the such all would come into play also. Still, a very interesting map - esp. with more western part more male, and eastern more ladies.
In terms of favorable ratios, DC always rates as having more women then men between the ages of 18-35. Having lived there, I believe this. As a young male 20-something, you could do a lot worse than DC for dating. It also has a decent climate (of course, it's not San Diego) and the outdoor activities are there if you seek them out (of course, it's not Denver or Seattle). Plus, there are a lot of cool jobs for someone your age and plenty of education options if you are looking to get a degree in something (else).
I live in between St. Louis and Memphis, which both have more women.
I'm a girl myself, so that's not so good for me, I guess.
