HOTLANTA is #1!!!!

Single? Looking for a Mate? Well pack your bags and head to Atlanta, the #1 city for singles!!


If you’re living life solo, Atlanta is the place to be right now. Its night life, high number of singles and job growth earned it the top spot. San Francisco slipped to second.

For the first time ever, Atlanta tops Forbes’ list of the best cities for singles. The capital of Georgia and home of Coca-Cola earns the top slot because of its hopping night life, relatively high number of singles and sizzling job growth.

To those who know "Hotlanta," the ranking should come as no surprise. In the eight years that Forbes has been ranking America's largest urban areas in terms of their friendliness to the nation's 74 million single adults, only once did Atlanta place outside the top 10.

To determine which U.S. cities are most comfortable for singles, Forbes ranked the 40 largest urbanized areas in mainland America in seven different categories: number of singles, night life, culture, cost of living alone, job growth, online dating activity and coolness. To determine a city's cool factor, Forbes partnered with Harris Interactive, which conducted a poll asking, "Among the following U.S. cities, which one do you think is the coolest?

"Last year's winner, San Francisco, came in second this year, scoring particularly high in coolness (third out of 40) and culture (fourth). Overall, the coolest city was New York, while Midwestern cities such as Indianapolis (40th) and Columbus, Ohio, (35th) did poorly in the Harris poll.
Overall, New York ranked as only the eighth-best place for would-be lovers. In addition to its top score in coolness, the Big Apple was ranked as the city with the best night life and the third-best cultural resources. But young singles need to eat as well as party, and New York scored dead last in the cost-of-living category. The city also placed a mediocre 29th in terms of job growth. Economic factors have always kept New York out of the top spot on the list.
The nation's second-largest city, Los Angeles, came in 16th this year, a precipitous drop from its third-place finish in 2007. Blame the cost of living in sun-drenched SoCal and a lackadaisical online dating culture.
