I am SOOO glad I'm out of the dating scene!

Xer Ping

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.

I would think SF would be somewhere near the bottom, if one is looking to date someone of the opposite gender.

("SF...somewhere near the bottom..." No pun intended.)

[MikefromOhio]

columbus Ohio is so high because of OSU being in town....

WE'RE #73! WE'RE #73! < |:)~

[Billthedrill]

Oh, I dunno - Seattle is a great place to find a boyfriend...if you're a guy...

[yarddog]

One of my best friends lives in Pensacola. He once told me it was a terrible city to meet girls. All those Naval aviators I guess.

Despite what he said, I always noticed he seemed to do very well. I also think the city has more than it's share of lookers.

[Fintan]

 

Why I never get a second date.

 

[crystalclear9823]

Interesting list... I would've guess Houston to be higher up on the list... I never seem to have a problem meeting guys here. :)

[dangus]

Honolulu scored 10th. Har! "Say where should we go," "Oh, I dunno, how about we LUXURIOUSLY LINGER AROUND FRICKIN' PARADISE!"

[musical_airman]

You know, it's funny......I used to live in pittsburgh and never had any trouble there (#73?). At the same time, this reinforces for me just how much living where I am is than there....;^p (that's south of MAcon, GA for y'all who don't know me) There's pretty much a lack of everything here.

oh, and the dating service thing is worthless unless you are near a major metropolitan center, for anyone else who is interested in reading this.

Boy, I am glad that I travel a lot for my job.

[ElkGroveDan]

So, if you’re a Pittsburgh single between 18-24 years old looking to “hook up” with someone your age, your chances are probably slim to none.

[Oystir]

#8 = Ann arbor Mi; lol, the "study" never bothered to check out the "talent" - not a pretty sight.

[thackney]

I am so surprised not to see an Alaskan City on the list.

It's a Long, Lonely Search for Men Looking for Love in Alaska

[K1avg]

Lake City, FL = Worst. Dating. Scene. Ever.

[1_Inch_Group]

How the hell would I know? I spend all my time trying to get Illegals Deported, and looking for a job in Utah.

:)

Know the majority there is under 35...blonde and female....and not quite as much hair under the arms as in Oregon.

Enough for me. Besides, what's better than a rebelling Mormon girlfriend?

LOL

[KC_Conspirator]

Being from KC, I can say it is not a very good place for dating since it is such a family oriented area. I was lukcy enough to find my wife there although.
