The worst city to date? Wherever you live.

She made several dates in Atlanta, including one during which a man turned out to be a “porn star” of the openness, but he reassured him that he had left this life behind. After the date, however, she went to hope on her Twitter page, only to see that he had published explicit content a few days before going out to dinner.

For some cities, reputation often comes down to a set of figures: larger populations mean more options, and other demographic factors can create an uneven playground. Seattle has one of the largest imbalances between the sexes among major American cities, according to a Seattle Times report in January, which underlined the recent data of the census showing 120.5 unmarried men under the age of 45 at Seattle per 100 women not married in the same age group. “It was the fourth highest relationship of men to women among the 50 largest American cities classified by the total population,” said Times.

With the demographic bridge stacked in their favor, women can afford to be more selective in Seattle. Compare their fate to the situation in Washington, DC, where there are about 80 single men for 100 single women, according to a report in 2023 of the US Census Bureau.

Deijza Curtis, a 28 -year -old receptionist for an oral surgeon, found that meetings were easier for her during her two years to live in Denver, largely because she loves outdoor. She got used to a certain type of invitation.

“Do you want to go with me on a hike at three o’clock in the mountains?” She said. “Do you want to go with me during a ski trip?” This is probably one of the few things I find in common with people here. ”

That said, she finds that the experience of meetings in the city is horrible.

Maybe it’s just the name of the game: if your dating experience is bad, then in one way or another, part of the blame will inevitably fall into the city in which you are.
