Atlanta is on the list of cities where you can find single men, but it’s pretty far down. LendingTree recently did a survey on America’s Best Cities For Single Men.
This information is valuable for people looking at places with high populations of single males, perhaps to move there or to explore the dating scene.
How Atlanta Ranks Among Cities With Single Men
Whatever the case, Atlanta came in #71 among cities with single men. Now, I know you may be thinking that’s pretty low, but the city has plenty of fish in the sea that don’t “claim” to be single.
The rankings were compiled from considering a number of variables, like culture, entertainment, safety and demogarphics, LendingTree says.
Who’s #1? Madison, Wisc., according to LendingTree. Hartford, Conn., Albany, N.Y., came in #2 and #3 on the list.
The good news is that Atlanta is not Memphis, which came in dead last for single men.
Here are America’s best cities for single men
