If neither Dallas nor the Phoenix metro areas on that list then it's bunk imo. Only city mentioned in that list that I would consider great for single guys is Fort Worth. Women in the Dallas/Fort Worth area... hhhnngggg.
Texas is where it's at guys. So many cute and sweet girls there
Have to kind of disagree with this, especially the Dallas/Fort Worth part. While the girls are attractive, they're definitely too uptight/unfriendly/hard to get. I've been in Dallas for about two decades of my luck and have NO luck with women here (And I consider myself attractive/have a good job). I've had way more luck in Austin and Houston where the girls are more laid back.
I will never understand these threads. What, you're so desperate that your only criterion for a potential mate is that she exist?
And what about single gay men? Well whatever, who cares? They aren't really "men" anyway, are they? [/extreme sarcasm]
Apart from the INCREDIBLE levels of sexism these topics routinely bring forth, the basic concept is 100% flawed. Move to a place that fits YOU for who YOU are and you'll be a ton more likely to find someone you like than if you move to a city literally because it has "a lot of single women." You can't fall in love with a statistic.
If you are seriously considering moving to a new city because of how purportedly "good for single men/women/whatever" it is, there are much deeper aspects of your life you need to reevaluate.
I think if you'll do an internet search for "best cities for single women" you'll see that men and women are equally interested in this subject.
I certainly wouldn't advise anyone to move to a city just because it has a lot of single women or single men.
So, if I move to Boston girls will be lining up to date me??? It couldn't have anything to do with my personality or looks, or how I flirt and talk to women could it?? No, the problem couldn't be me, it's got to be where I'm living where I'm living

Just because there are a lot of single women in Boston doesn't mean it's a good city for single men. In my experience, it's one of the worst cities for single men. Why would you want to put yourself through that kind of aggravation when there are so many better US cities for single men?

I was being sarcastic. I don't think the city really matters that much. I believe it has to do with the person.
HAH looks like I hit a nerve. Friendly advice: there's no such thing as a city that's good or bad for single anybody. Period. It's a myth. They're all the same. If you're bitter because you don't have a significant other, that's up to you to change, not the city you live in.
Now, you can move to a city that fits your personality better and you might be more likely to meet someone similar to you, but you aren't owed anything, and there's no such thing as a "how many girls in ______ city will want to date me" statistic.

Reason: Let's not call another poster "pitiful and misogynistic"
Nice to see Indy made the list.
Seems like there are alot of singles in Downtown Indianapolis and with tons of resturants to eat at that doesnt surprise me Indy made the list. Indy has the lowest cost of living of any major US city and the nations most affordable housing market so its easy to live on a single income in Indianapolis.
I've spent a lot more time in Houston than Dallas/Fort Worth. While there were certainly attractive women in Houston, I didn't see the kind of off-the-charts, Rebecca Romijn-like women that I've seen in San Francisco. If a woman looks like Rebecca Romijn, is it so awful if she's a feminist?
Well all I can say is I've spent little time in Texas (both Dallas and Austin) but saw cute girls EVERYWHERE in both cities. My head was spinning when I landed at the Austin airport and looked around, this was in 2011. Wasn't even at any nightclubs or whatever. It's not like this in the Bay Area at all... but looks like you have different experience or find different types of women attractive.\

I didn't really get that uptight vibe much... other then maybe a few select areas like "Uptown" or "Shops @ Legacy" in Plano driving through there. But every city has their uppity area and just cause they wear expensive clothes etc. doesn't mean she's automatically a b$tch. Dallas seemed to have a social vibe to it, a lot of cities aren't like that and women are thus less approachable. Be grateful that Dallas women appear to take care of themselves and actually care how they look and want to be feminine. You know the place much more then I do (only been once) but I left with a good impression of the women and the area in general. A lot of stuff going on! Vibrant place
Then why don't you check out Austin or Houston. The grass isn't always greener, but I think these are two good choices as well.
Well to be fair if you are in the Deep South where everyone marries at age 19 and you are still single at 27, then moving may be a viable solution. If that's not the case, then I agree.
I do however disagree with some of the cities listed. San Francisco and Seattle are probably great for single gay men, but I think for a straight guy places like NYC, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles would be preferable.

As a single straight female I disagree with all of those statements quoted above. Think about it. There are a lot more straight females in SF then there are straight males. So it is much easier for straight guys to meet girls because the ratio is skewed in favor of the straight guy.
