[highlight]10. San Jose, California[/highlight]
This might be the most surprising entry on the list, until you remember the eligible bachelors of Silicon Valley. What better place for an educated, cultured, successful lady to try and meet her match?

[highlight]9. New York, New York[/highlight]
Carrie Bradshaw and her friends demonstrated that you don’t need a man to enjoy The Big Apple. Whether single or dating, a typical evening can include a sumptuous meal, a Broadway show or a walk in Central Park.

[highlight]8. Las Vegas, Nevada[/highlight]
The home of the Little White Wedding Chapel and hundreds of Elvis impersonators render Sin City worth a gamble for a large section of single ladies. Wedding potential aside, casinos, legendary shows and high profile nightclubs are also of interest to the unattached female.

[highlight]7. Los Angeles, California[/highlight]
Endless sunshine, fabulous shopping and high-powered entertainment careers are among the draws of L.A. It’s worth noting that single men and single women both place the city on their list of most desirable places to settle down.

[highlight]6. Chicago, Illinois[/highlight]
The Windy City offers all the urban pleasures of New York City without the high rents and tiny apartments. Girl’s night out can include sushi at Japonais Restaurant (where you might also run into Vince Vaughn) followed by an outdoor concert at Millennium Park.

[highlight]5. Washington, DC[/highlight]
Independent, powerful women need an environment which befits them. Rent.com points to a low divorce rate as another part of the city’s appeal. A typical first date can include some combination of politics, history and the arts, making our nation’s Capitol a beacon for for the unattached female.

[highlight]4. Denver, Colorado[/highlight]
Mountains, a lively bar scene and Colorado Rockies baseball are attractive to sporty single women in search of an active lifestyle.

[highlight]3. Austin, Texas[/highlight]
Rent.com describes the quirky Texas town as “the up-and-coming capital for creative singles.” The outside-the-box social scene works to the female advantage since single men outnumber women.

[highlight]2. Seattle, Washington[/highlight]
The birthplace of Starbucks has a lively music scene, natural beauty and the perfect brooding weather to complement that bad date. Bachelorettes come for an unemployment rate below the national average, but they might stay for the houseboats.

[highlight]1. Phoenix, Arizona[/highlight]
Plenty of sunshine, a low cost of living and the knowledge that 30 percent of the town’s men are single come together to make Phoenix the top spot for the unattached woman, according to Rent.com

do any of you ladies live in one of these cities? is it on and poppin? :lol:
 
Houston TX has tons of single black men. I have quite a few friends that found their husband after moving here. I met my SO here...
 
I live near DC but I've seen a conflicting article that the women in DC aren't able to find profisionally competent men so I'm shocked that it made the top 10 list.
 
I'm shocked to see Seattle on the list! :perplexed and number two at that :ohwell: This list must be the top 10 cities for single non-black women...I'd only recommend black single women moving here if they want to stay single. In all of the 15 years I've lived in the Seattle area, I have never personally known, or have a met a single black women that enjoys living in Seattle.

It's not that you can't find a professional (i.e. not broke and stupid) man (I just got approached for dates this week). But it's that it's something wrong with them (mostly just arrogance and ego, since they outnumber us women by a large margin).
 
I haven't been in the dating scene here very long, but Chicago seems a nice place for singles. A lot of young professionals from the neighboring states and elsewhere migrate here for jobs and the urban lifestyle.
Chicago is very diverse if you look at the numbers, but the distribution of races is not very even across neighborhoods. The type of guys you'll be around depends a lot on where you roam.
IMO there are a lot of attractive guys around, but not as many as I've seen around NYC for example.
There are a lot of obnoxious frat-type guys, a lot of "hood" guys, and so on, but a lot of decent folks as well.

There is ALWAYS something to do around here, and great restaurants. I love the river and the lake. My two cents.

I live near San Jose and the fact that San Jose is on such a list makes me question its validity wholeheartedly.
 
I just moved to Miami from the DC area for grad school. There is a major difference in the attention I get. I'm 5'8", 113-116 lbs and the men in Miami, both black and white, young and old, love me. I get stares and turn heads for days. I've even been approached several times and I've only been here for 5 days. The men are real attentive to me. I'm not trying to brag. I have a cute face but I've never experienced this much male attention in the DC area. Now I kind of understand why my guy friend from California said that most of the black men in DC are gay.

I have a friend from DC who moved to Seattle and complained about this.. she's the biggest social butterfly on the planet so I knew if it was hard for her it must be awful for other women. She ended up getting married to a guy who had just moved to Seattle from DC. She definitely lucked out..

Interesting.
 
I can understand Austin having singles ( its a college town) but I'm surprised Houston isn't on here. A lot of people are moving here since we are one of the Recession Proof cities and have an abundance of jobs (or so I heard).
Its a bunch of single men out here to mingle with. Actually I'm supposed to be hooking one of my friends up with my sweethearts best friend and see how it plays out.

No they didn't. The majority in Austin Texas is caucasian. I used to drive out there every month back in college for 6th Street and the only time I met a plethora of ethnic men was during Texas Relays.

I think in Miami, they like the thin bodytype, not that most DC males are gay.
 
Those saying this list wasn't made for us, is it because you don't experience the non-black men being open to you or you're not interested in dating them?
 
The weekend I was in Chicago was great! I had men of all races/ages/demographics try to approach me, it was almost shocking because I've never had that many white men come after me like that and I'm from the NYC metro area.
