I think everyone becomes invisible in a big city unless you're a sugar daddy.

One thing to consider, other then age, is the amount of gay people in a city. I mean, in San Fransico, there are more men then women aged 18-35 BUT, when you subtract the gay and lesbian population, what you have is more or less even. I have heard that it's easy for a man to meet women in a "gay city" because there is allot less competition.
I would say, however, that NYC is not a good place for singles. Sure, there are allot of ladies, BUT, if you're not a high roller with a six figure income, majority of them will not give you the time of day. It's a million women going after a thousand men with money and ignoring the million men who are not wealthy and powerful. I know a fellow who's a accountant, and he couldn't get any numbers once women found out what he did...he moved to Austin, and he had a girlfriend in one month.

Tampa is a cool city to live - but a very tough city to be over 30 and single in IF you want a stable relationship. Generally, to meet someone, I have to look outside of the Tampa city limits into Clearwater, St Pete - even down 35'ish miles into Bradenton/Sarasota. ANYWHERE outside of Tampa. Seems like everyone is already in a relationship or married. The man I just stopped dating last month lives on the Atlantic coast of FL, almost 100 miles away - the distance was not even a factor in the breakup.

Wish me luck.

1) Cost of Living Low Jobs Plentiful

Good for women since ambitious men with good job skills, who are confident they can get a job quickly – read: good looking – will flock there.


2) Cost of Living Low Jobs Scarce

Good for men – especially men too lazy to move to where jobs are. This is where you find the guys with 18 kids with 14 women.


3) Cost of Living High Jobs Plentiful

Too much stress for it to be good for anyone. Divorce rate is through the roof.


4) Cost of Living High Jobs Scarce

Extremely good for multimillionaire men. Eg. NYC. The competition has left town. This is where Redisca gets her views of men.

Don't move to Atlanta is you are a single female, unless you want to stay that way forever!!!

I'm actually surprised Atlanta made the top of the list because I view Atlanta as an "illusion of single men". Most of the men I met when I was down there (on vacay, none the less) were married.

I'm surprised Chicago is so far down as I've had a great time here meeting men. A few months ago, askmen.com ranked it as number one for single men to live out of 29 international cities. Maybe a shameless Olympic plug?.....

That is true about ATL. Good for men but sucks for women.

I've lived in FL: Jacksonville, Miami and Tallahassee, AZ: Chandler & NC: Raleigh/Durham. By far Raliegh Durham is the worst out of the previous cities I lived in. Too many married and attached people.

The best balance was in Jacksonville and Miami. But I had the most fun in Phoenix. I love Phoenix. So many beautiful, single women there.

I'm in Raliegh/Durham right now and man, I'll fall over with delight if I met more than one single woman that wasn't in her early to mid 40s or 20 to 24. If you want to date a woman in her early to mid 40s this is the place. Its crazy and that freakin map proves my point.

All my New York friends say NYC is pretty bad. Sure, there are tonnes of beautiful women everywhere, but my friends all tell me they're all prissy, unapproachable, stuck up and high maintenance.

from what i gather from people in their 50s-60s who were in la, la was super great for singles in the 70s. my parents said it was really easy to meet someone out here back then. it was a different time.
