SF Singled Out

Forbes just might be full of it, or maybe. . . .
Have you heard? San Francisco is the best place in America to live if you’re single.

Our fair city recently took first-place honors on Forbes.com’s seventh annual “Best Cities for Singles” list. Using U.S Census Bureau information, Forbes judged the largest 40 American cities on such factors as job growth, culture, the cost of living alone, nightlife, the number of singles, online dating and coolness. With its strong marks in culture, nightlife and cost of living alone (?), we beat out New York and Los Angeles in a stunning upset that sent former champion Denver tumbling to 16th place.

Not to be content with merely a single win, San Francisco also placed high up on the “Most Romantic U.S. Cities” list (theknot.com), the “City with the Most Physically-Fit Singles” list (Match.com), and Men’s Health magazine’s “Top Cities to Find Single Men Over 35″ list (a sign of such hope for 30-plus single women everywhere, apparently, that Oprah – on behalf of her best bud, Gayle – features the magazine’s findings on her show).
