If you're still looking for Mr. Right or Ms. Walks-on-Air this February 14th, you might wonder if your chances would be improved by a visit to Valentine, Texas or Valentine, Nebraska. Recently a single friend suggested I write a travel blog called: You Don't Have to Go to Alaska to Meet the Man of Your Dreams. She wanted me to figure out where the most single men live so that she could vacation accordingly.
The travel matchmaker is in. After quite a bit of research, I have some basic findings to report. If you're looking to meet a single guy, go west. If you're looking to meet a single girl, it's time to visit the East. As this helpful map from National Geographic shows, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans, and Miami are chockfull of single women.
On the flip side, single men seem to love to hang their hats in Texas. Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Houston all have high quantities of testosterone. As you move westward, the manliness continues. Single men outnumber single women in Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. In fact, the map tells us that the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana area has the highest amount of single men in the nation, with at least 40,000 more single men than women!
But Men's Health was worried that this data wouldn't be clear enough. Not wanting to squander an opportunity for their readers to make love connections, the editors boiled down the statistics and ranked the top 10 cities to meet a guy. Here's the top five:
1) San Jose, CA
2) Boise, ID
3) Anaheim, CA
4) Minneapolis, MN
5) Dallas, TX
While it might not have occurred to you to take your next single friends getaway to San Jose, now you have mathematical motivation. The capital of Silicon Valley is a veritable male wonderland. I do believe it actually rains hot dates there and eligible bachelors grow on palm trees.
Your mother might scoff at the idea that you'll meet your next leading man in Romeo, Colorado, but statistically the odds are on your side. Singletons, pack a bag, call up your wingmen and gal pals, and travel for love.

I would say Austin, isn't that expensive. It's a huge college town with a more liberal style of thinking. You would look on the south side for a good place in Austin, or even look at places in Buda or San Marcos which are up to 20 minutes away. San Marcos also has a big school. And you could still visit 6th street Austin on the weekend

Best city for singles would be any city with a large Gay population.
Seriously. Being Hetero there is golden.
The less competition, the better your odds.

Austin ranks pretty high on most lists. Any college town will be pretty good. I personally like cities near the beach - Florida and California come to mind.

I'm 28 and single. I've really want to move to Boston. Do you think it will be really hard to find a husband there? I guess the results include singles of all ages, so maybe the odds wouldn't be that bad for me.
