And the best city for dating is ....
Men's Health ranks the best places for dating and relationships.
If you live in Atlanta and your name is Ted Turner, you don't need help finding a girlfriend—or four, the number Turner was juggling last May. Alas, Atlanta singles without billions aren't so lucky.
"The city is very spread out," said Janet Page, Ph.D., a relationship therapist in Atlanta. "It can be hard to break into the social scene."
This may be why Hotlanta is a hotbed of online dating.
"People here are almost never members of just one site," Page said. "They're on two or three."
Here are the top 100 cities in America for dating:
1. Atlanta, GA
2. Denver, CO
3. San Diego, CA
4. Orlando, FL
5. San Francisco, CA

More from Men's Health:
i lived in several metro areas and i shall say
in dc/md/va women are approximately 8 to 1 so men run wild with choices and not just single men but married men tend to run around in the area
in ny/nj/ct women are approximately 5 to 1 and the men dont run as wild maybe because they know someone will tell and you will get caught (and you dont need maury)
in pittsburgh/philly women are approximately 3 to 1 and they area probably similar to the ny/nj/ct area
basically, many people sign up for various sites in hopes to land a good catch. truth of the matter is that too many people are also signing up to find a person to sleep with for a month then dump them for the next best thing. others are signing up to get free meals, some are signing up to get someone they can use and buy them shoes, bags, clothes or even pay their bills...
my ratios may not be accurate however those were the ones that i remembered from a few years ago and probably changed. anyway, we all will be with the person we decide to be with for whatever reason. if it is love then it will have staying power cause love does conquer all... if it is lopsided and one of the people dont really love the other guess what, the sneaking, creeping, and cheating will start and the person who isnt in love will find every excuse and blame the other partner for not satisfying them someway instead of admitting they werent into that person and they want someone else.
good luck dating everyone, and may you find the person you deserve :^)
