It’s been a weird and frustrating year for dating . . . maybe SO weird and frustrating that you’d be willing to uproot your life out of Chicago and move across the country to improve things.  And here’s how to do THAT :

WalletHub.com just released a study ranking the 182 biggest cities in the U.S. from the best place for single people to the worst.

The rankings are based on 32 different factors including the percentage of single people . . . the gender ratio . . . the number of people using online dating . . . and the cost of things like dinner, drinks, entertainment, and rent.

And because it’s 2020, they also included the state’s coronavirus restrictions in the calculation . . . the fewer the regulations, the better the score.  That’s right:  Less regulation equals more dating opportunities.  It’s a difficult time to be single.

Anyway, based on all of that, the five best cities for singles are:  Madison, Wisconsin . . . Atlanta . . . Denver . . . Salt Lake City . . . and Columbia, South Carolina.

And the five worst cities are:  Glendale, California . . . Brownsville, Texas . . . Pembroke Pines, Florida . . . Warwick, Rhode Island . . . and Laredo, Texas.  (WalletHub)
