Dating today is terrible. Between Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and dozens of other apps designed for hookups, it seems that even though your potential dating pool has exploded to an exponential level, the quality of the people you meet has dropped dramatically. Going on dates is a thing of the past, and even getting to the point of “Netflix and chill” is somehow substantially more difficult than you would ever imagine. Badoo, an online dating site, decided to tackle this problem with data and ranked the best and worst locations for singles in the country. By taking the number of singles in the dating pool and determining the percentages of singles in the area, Badoo was able to locate just where exactly your best chances lie in the hopes of finding your one true love. Unfortunately, the results weren’t what researchers expected, and there’s a pretty strong chance that they don’t work in your favor either.
Worst:
New York, NY
Miami, FL
Houston, TX
San Francisco, CA
Laredo, TX
Best:
Akron, OH
Glendale, AZ
Colorado Springs, CO
Chandler, AZ
Norfolk, VA
Not what you expected, right? According to Badoo’s research, cities with larger urban populations, AKA where all of you cubicle monkeys reside, actually have lower percentages of available singles, which actually helps to explain why your Tinder is such a hot mess. While the number of people in cities such as New York or San Francisco vastly outweighs those of more rural areas, the likelihood that the attractive person you met on the subway is already committed is sadly significantly higher. If city life is wearing on you and you’re ready to turn in the bachelor lifestyle, it may be time to head out to the ‘burbs. If all goes well, you may just find the love of your life. Or something close enough. .

Where’s the “Best cities to kill yourself in after reading yet another Best of cities list”?
Death Valley, CA
Cleveland and Detroit still rank higher.

Can Grandex seriously block you asshats?
Anywhere in Kansas or Iowa
I was in Iowa in April and concur you’re into being 24 and married with 2 kids.
Yeah, our average of less than one per month must be annoying.
Will, we’re not so different you and I. I was once a writer too but I am now forced to scratch and claw my way to survival amidst the ruins of this comment section while you get to sit atop the proverbial throne and write enticing and cleverly comedic content for this blog. I know that I revel in dark comedic relief but before you respond with “k” or something, I just want to see more relatable lists for cities like “The best cities to grow broke and become homeless in” or “The best cities that have good drink deals to drown your problems in”. If you want to brainstorm some ideas to establish comedic dominance over the vapid and annoying Bar Stool Sports fuck boi, email me.
I mean, he’s got a point, Will.
King slayer.
If i want to know “the best cities for millenials to butter their toast in” I’ll go to elite daily
Yeah, it is actually
What a “Dorn” response, Will. You’re better than that
If it’s not these articles then it’s something on ghosting.
I grew up about 30 minutes from Akron and believe me that’s not where you want to meet your future wife.
I’m from Ohio and I concur.
I’m about 10 minutes from Akron. 100% agree with you, no way in HELL would Akron be my first choice to look for a life partner. I avoid that city like the plague.
There’s a real nice cadaver lab in Akron
I thought nothing was easy in northeast Ohio
I’ve already met my future wife. Now I just have to introduce myself.
You and me both brother
Those top 5 cities are the epitome of “the odds are good but the goods are odd.” Sure, you can find a date there, but do you want a date there?
single for a reason.
Nobody who conducted this survey has ever been to Norfolk, VA because I’m almost positive it would have been an ethical violation of the United Surveyor’s Code to put it on the list if they had.
Couple of my buddies said it wasn’t bad… or at least I assume it wasn’t for the guys banging their GFs while they were at sea.
Don’t come to Norfolk/Virginia beach. It’s the poor mans version of a Florida beach. Ghetto
You stole my photo!
I live in Norfolk, this is very false
Deepest condolences.
I can assure you with total and absolute confidence that Akron Ohio is not among the best places to date.
I’m at work here in Chandler, AZ. Read this new fact to other cubemates. How in the world was this list calculated? I’ve been single here for 10 years (with on and off boyfriends, but still… ) We all are curious because being single in Chandler is nuts. It’s super family oriented, though we are suspecting it’s because people get married very fast and pop out a dozen kids out of boredom as quickly as possible?
I would think in that area, Scottsdale would be much better. Even Tempe.
