These threads... Dating is more reliant on the person rather than the location, but I guess it's easier to blame the location.
Whether you live in New York, Atlanta, Miami, Denver, Phoenix, etc. the dating scene is more or less the same. Focus on yourself and what you want in a partner, that is the better plan rather than picking City XYZ because someone on City Data said its better.
No location really does matter with regard to dating, don't believe someone who tells you otherwise. It really is subjective based on your age, gender, race/ethnicity, career situation and then also what you're into. If you're super outdoorsy and young (under 40) you'll do well in the PNW. Dating in the Northeast, especially NYC offers a kind of unparalleled density that other cities can't compete with, meaning your pool really dramatically grows based on your situation.
Obviously if you're in a good job situation, it'll make dating easier too than if you're struggling. In a place like Indianapolis, it's harder to find people who aren't already married or from there, so the available pool shrinks and you kind of have to be aggressive or get yourself involved in activities where a relationship might emerge.
In general, cities with high populations of people will help increase one's odds - Denver, Chicago, NYC, LA and others are a good spots for such things. Also because so many people meet on dating apps now, if people have been out of the game for a while they'll find that it's crazy how much harder it is to meet people IRL and organically outside of some groups and even then...people in groups don't necessarily join to meet someone. So the burn can be slower if someone is doing activities/church with explicit intent to meet someone.
It's not possible to meet people, it's just a different game and a lot of it is timing-based. But if it's just a matter of going out and maximizing meeting people, you'll have a lot more luck with that in a bigger city than not.
