CHarleston SC should be second on the list mass pu-nanny runnin around

 

[Alen-Delon]

oh yeah and Ann arbor on th third

 

[MisterAl]

Springfield, Mass. is No. 9?!? For hooking up?? Yeah, maybe with a prostitute or a toothless crack-mommy!

Springfield is not someplace to hang around after dark. The bars are for all the people that used to work in the factories that have closed. The hookers used to pace the street corners like they owned downtown. Hmm, maybe the place has changed in the last ten years, but probably not.

How strange that they didn't look 25 miles north of Springfield at Amherst and Northampton, Mass. With over 30,000 college students, that's where all the singles action _really_ is.

The survey needs work.

 

[Ol'BlueEyes]

Not surprised

All the top cities are big college towns...no surprise there.
The title is a bit misleading....unless whoever conducted the pool thinks that 'hooking-up' and 'dating' are synonymous. I don't. Maybe this pool should be renamed "easiest cities to get laid in."

what he said

 

[drmeathead]

Pittsburgh is a blast. I speakfirst hand. It does have alot of old people and it isnt very diverse. I dont care about any of that. It has my demographic. It also has a good amount of them. Pitt has 40000 students plus 4 other college or universities are located here. The survey was terrible. Probably run by some AFC and female AFC's who never went out anywhere.

 

[Mizzou-Rah]

Well that sucks.....

At least now I can explain my lack of success on the city I live in!

(By the way, I live in Kansas City)

 

[FlyGuy]

Never been down to Colorado Springs to hook up, I'll have to check it out. Denver has got to be one of the worst places, I've heard the same from many people who moved here from different states.

 

[TyTe`EyEs]

Here we have Florida State and FAMU. It's a pretty tight place to hook up. The clubs get packed with females.

 

[Brak86]

What? no one said dallas? dallas is home to some of the hottest girls ever.

 

[Genghis Juan]

I'm suprised Boston ranked so low. Can't be possible, Boston is the biggest college town in the country with over 1 in 5 residents being students during the school hear. Boston also has one of the youngest average ages of all cities.

 

[Okra]

Atlanta is actually a great city for dating. Especially if you like black chicks. There are plenty of hot ones here.

 

[Okra]

I think this study is a load of sh**, it was conducted by the people at AXE deodorant spray. I'm sure they have some agenda.

 

[Viking25]

San Diego,CA is number 3 on the list? What a load of crapo! SD is dead..as in you can walk around SD for hours and not see one pretty girl!

hmm.. well our clubs are somewhat weak. I am real curious as to their reasoning. Also boston sucks if you are under 21.

Woah u serious about that? I'm seriousely considering moving there by next year. I am going to check it out first. But, I'm surprized there would be no hot chicks there.

OUr clubs aren't weak...We have the biggest nightclub in the country when Avaland is going on...Boston is one of the best bar/club cities in the country...not sure why that doesn't translate to good dating...

The clubs on Landsdowne Street are nothing special, but are usually 18 or 19+ and packed with Wellesley girls who haven't seen a guy in weeks. Picking them up is so easy it's not even fun anymore.

Foggy Goggle in Back Bay is another good underage bar.
