It's not you, it's me

An interesting read about how the girls can date like a man. The antidote of the phoneaphobia syndrome.

Compliment the man.
Check!

Confidence.
Check!

Hit and run.
...More like hit and wait for me.

No sex in the first 90 days.
That's new. Not sure if I can do that. lol

US Best Cities for Singles

The complete list from Forbs based on Culture, Nightlife, Singles, Job Growth, Living Cost , and Online Dating rankings.

The top ten are: Atlanta, San Fransisco, Dallas, Minneapolis, Washington DC, Seattle, Boston, NYC, Orlando, Phoenix.

Of the top 10, I've only been to half of them, as a single, mostly for business. I'm just curious about the accuracy of the result based on the methodology used for the final ranking.

All factors carry the same weight. May not be ideal but reasonable. High ranking in Culture, Job Growth, Living Cost are obviously the measurement of the city. However, the Single factors may not represent the reality.

Nightlife: It doesn't apply to all the singles out there, including me; And I heard enough people claiming that they are tired of the bar/club scene.

Online Dating: The number of active profiles in each city listed on ONE dating site: Match.com. What happened to all the other singles who happened to be on one of the other hundreds of dating sites? Guess they don't count.

Number of singles: Above 15 and never married. What about divorced people?
Are these cities the best places to find your other half, or places where single people simply do not want to get married?!

Any thoughts?
