Is Nashville not #1 for walkable urban neighborhoods?
LOL, PLEASE!!! This is how people get a false sense of superiority and livability about different cities over the internet. Half of Nashville doesn't even have SIDEWALKS...
1. Number of office/tech jobs available. - Atlanta, Raleigh, Nashville, Charlotte
2. Number of outdoor activities - Richmond, Nashville, Atlanta, Raleigh
3. Number of social activities/events -Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, Raleigh/Richmond
4. Which city would be easier to make new friends - Highly dependent on your personality but usually more people, more opportunity: Atlanta, Nashville/Charlotte, Raleigh/Richmond
5. Best Dating scene (W/M ratio, friendliness of women in terms of approachability - See, friends
6. Walkable urban neighborhoods - Richmond, Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, Raleigh
7. Cost of living - Richmond, Raleigh, Charlotte/Nashville, Atlanta
8. Best overall quality of living from what I just listed. - Atlanta is still your best bet for opportunity and social life, which should be given the greatest weight early on in your career. Plus if you're even reasonably competent, you will be able to flourish there. Later on, places like Raleigh and Richmond make sense. They'll surprise you with their low costs, good quality of life and so that you won't leave, but you might not grow as fast either.

Is Charlotte really behind all of these? Charlotte has a good amount of outdoor activities to choose form:
1. Many Trails and Nature Preserves (McDowell and Latta)
2. King's Mountain area for hiking
3. A few large Lakes for boating and fishing, etc.
4. Rolling, hilly terrain to the west
5. Abundance of City Parks
5. The Whitewater Center
7. Large Amusements Park (if that counts)

Thanks. I was wondering because I've been to Raleigh and lived in Atlanta (no close-by lakes, and the "mountains" and lake areas begin way up past the 400, and are not easily accessible). What else is there to do outdoors in Atlanta besides Stone Mountain? I don't remember much beyond that when I lived there for 8 years. Richmond has a river, but what else? Raleigh has no high terrain in the area to hike, but I don't know for sure what else to do outdoors.

Richmond ranks 9th nationally* for singles. 60.6% of the city population identifies as single. Bring your sexy ass here. It’s a freaking buffet out here!
*Atlanta ranks #1, in keeping with the findings here
Is Nashville not #1 for walkable urban neighborhoods?
Definitely not. Nashville has too many dead end streets, not enough pedestrian crosswalks/bridges, and too many pedestrian deaths to be walkable. It is a very dangerous city for walking and biking. Until Nashville takes pedestrian safety serious, it cannot be safe to walk. Nashville had 47 pedestrian deaths last year and 35 so far this year.

Atlanta and it is not close. Atlanta is candy land for your demographic. The others are fine but more workaday mentality.

That would be either Atlanta or Richmond IMO.
