Lies! All lies!

Interesting . . . I would think the middle of the list would be the best - all of my married friends live in cities either at the top or the bottom, and all of my single friends live in cities in the middle!

Who decides these lists, anyway? Are they as random as the US News lists?

 

[drvlad2004]

How in heck is Norfolk, VA on the list? I visited there once and thought of the area more for married folks. I wasn't very impressed by the location. Arlington, VA is sooo much better.

I interviewed down at UT San Antonio, which was an awesome program. The residents at the program often raved about how exciting Austin is. There are tons of single people over there and very affordable to live in. I may have to agree with it being ranked #1. Personally Manhattan is still one of the best. However, the cost of living keeps it being ranked any higher.

I sincerely hope that including baltimore on this list was a joke. Baltimore was already ranked (and deservedly so) one of the ugliet cities in the country. And I wouldn't call having to drive over an hour down to DC "good singles life."

Baltimore is pretty nice down at the waterfront, although there are an amazing number of panhandlers. I was there in early december for an interview at JHU and after my interview I walked down to the waterfront (I'm still alive), and I saw more panhandlers than other walkers like me (of course, it was about 4pm). Was a little cold for Baltimore, too, so maybe that had something to do with it.

I think the funniest part of that list is
--------------------------
22. Salt Lake City
23. New Orleans
--------------------------

I think this list and the time that the Jazz switched cities are probably the only times those two cities have ever been listed next to one another.

All the places on that list are also pretty large - no smaller cities like Ann Arbor, Madison.

Norfolk is a cute city with lots of pretty waterfront. It is home to the East coast's largest Naval Station, how could it not have a lot of stuff for single folks to do? Gotta keep the sailors busy while they are at port.

Maybe it has been a while since you visited?

Take care-

If you are a guy, this statement has zero attraction to it. I have NO desire to keep sailors busy in port.

The redeeming quality of SLC is that the everybody there is constantly outside exercising. I was there for two weeks last summer and I never went anywhere without seeing lots of attractice people running, biking, doing jumping-jacks, sit-ups, etc. And thanks to those weird mormon laws, they're not drinking much either. So instead of everybody being fat like baltimore, the girls are actually in shape and hot.

One girl I grew up with who has always been a little chubby went there for about a year. When she got back she wasn't just cute anymore, she was smoking! Of course now she's regained all the weight again, oh well.

It's been about 2 years since I visited. Women seem to love Norfolk than guys like me because of the Naval Station. Keeping the sailors busy sure doesn't attract me.

Wait, where's New Haven, CT?

If you have a MD and can't score sweet poon on demand you either have no game or are ugly as ****. In either of these cases it doesn't matter where you live.

I went to college in Austin and there is high quality 'tang all over the town, although it probably is #1 on that list because of UT and the college coeds.

Lots of hot chicks there with what I like to call a "morally casual attitude".

San Antonio is about 1 hr away, as is Temple, so I doubt most residents make the trip that often.

No game. Nail on the head. I still don't work it like I could.

New Haven is great for the Yale poon tang but the city is another story. I like Cornell better🙂 .

How is Las Vegas low on the list? There are plenty of wild single people in that city. As they say, "Whatever goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas!"

 

[kdoc2005]

I agree that Austin is the #1 place to be single with one caveat. The majority of singles are in their early twenties. If you're a guy, this is great b/c the chicks are young and hot. If you are a girl (like myself), it can suck b/c few guys you meet in bars want to hear that you are a med student. Intimidation? However, Austin has a great bar scene with the best live bands and lots of eye candy, so I cannot complain too much.

Does anyone have first hand experience in Atlanta? It is one of my residency options and am curious about the city. Is it fun?

Thanks!

How did Baltimore beat out NYC? In fact, how is Baltimore even on this list? Anybody from there wanna share?

Baltimore does blow! The only reason why it ranked high was b/c those idiots at Forbes Magazine linked DC and Baltimore together. Washington, DC has tons of educated and beautiful singles. However Baltimore so 45 minutes apart from DC and it so much worse.

Also why did they put San Fran and Oakland together? San Fran is awesome but Oakland is very different, except for distance.

BTW, how is the singles life in New Orleans. LSU will be on my top 5 of my ranklist. I had too much fun in the French Quarter while I was there.

baltimore blows.. i question their high ranking alot

Thanks to the overwhelming opinion that baltimore blows, my suspicions about this city are confirmed...I didn't particularly care for it either, and I thought it was kind of funny that the residents at Hopkins were all married, and the ones that weren't were out of baltimore on their days off. Baltimore is cheap...I mean cheap enough to buy a house on a resident's salary, something which I, as a single male in my twenties, have zero interest in pursuing. Why the hell does hopkins have to be in baltimore? It amazes me that they have such an uphill battle trying to sell that name...but I can see why.

"If you have a MD and can't score sweet poon on demand you either have no game or are ugly as ****. In either of these cases it doesn't matter where you live."

That's funny as **** radrules, and true, especially as you get older it seems. Can you introduce me to some of your morally casual friends?
