Sexiest Spots for Singles
When I was single, I always hoped that when I went on vacation, I'd meet a sexy woman willing to throw caution to the wind and we'd have a crazy fling. While I wish I could regale you with sexy stories of sexy times, I have to come clean: I never met those kinds of sexy women. It could've just been me, of course, but maybe I was going to the wrong places. But what are the right places? - According to Forbes, the top three cities to meet singles are Boston, Austin, and Washington D.C. (Atlanta squeaks in at number 10.)
- MSNBC agrees that Washington D.C. is a good spot, but suggests visiting Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Miami, Rome, Tokyo ... and Juneau.
- New York is a good option, especially if you're a man.
- Sperling says the top three cities for singles are Austin, Colorado Springs and San Diego. It ranks Atlanta as among the 10 worst places to meet singles.
- Conversely, Love@AOL claims Atlanta is No. 1.

Way to go Delray Beach and Carrie! What happened to getting to know people for the whole package? I have gone out with some really "hot" guys and some that were not drop dead gorgeous, but I saw something in each one that made them attractive as a person. Nobody in this world is perfect, yet it is amazing how many are quick to judge others. Quite frankly it is sad.....

Well dont come to wilkes-barre, pa. This has to be the land of the low income,overweight,smoking,no ambition or goals and lets throw in values,standards also,single gold digging welfare mom who's looking for a daddy for here 3 children by 5 different guy's. Guy's I warn you,go anywhere else but here. Everytime I go on vacation I feel like a kid in a candy store,last yrs trip was San Diego. If I could afford it I'd move there,wow the women are hot or it's just that I haven't seen a REAL WOMEN in decades. Also 3 yrs ago a friend of mine moved to Austin and one to Colorado,they absolutely love it. As far as marriages in this country breaking down I blame the FEMINISTS for that,seems they want everything. Sorry doesnt work that way.

Clearly, I hit a nerve. But not to worry sweetalasae. Whatever I'm "hiding" it's not HIV or a hidden expense account.
(Your offensive sounds a tad "defensive", but nice try).
Sincerely,
Carry

Boston? You have to be kidding me. This place has been lame since time immemorial. Unless you are loaded or look like Brad or Angelina, you will spend lots of lonely winter nights watching SNL on Saturday nights. Single people stay away at all costs. Its shallow city.

I have traveled around this planet for the past 50 years and I must say that California girls are beyond reproach. From the 74 countries and 42 states I have been to, the females, generally speaking, will not come even close to comparing to a California girl. San Diego knows how to grow em.

Thank you, Carrie--you took the words right out of my mouth! But I really love Delray Beach's remark: "...because we are glutens..." Yeah, this country doesn't need to be spending any more money on education, oh no way! And while I'm on my soapbox, whatever happened to the good old question mark??
To Ken: If you sound as ignorant and inarticulate (look it up in the dictionary) as you write, well, then, you'd better start ordering those catalogues from Russia, Eastern Europe, and SE Asia ASAP! (if you don't get that one, well, google "mail order brides). You are dumb, dim, and dorky ... d'oh!

Thanks for the comforting words Lynn..But I am more likely to hit 3 Big Buck lottories in a Row before that happens....

Yes Phoenix is great for singles, especially Baby Boomers. It is like LA in the 60's with great rock concerts and people who live to live not work.
With the combination of outdoor activities and high social happenings...
The person who mentioned Scottsdale is right on, though certainly it isn't the only part of Phoenix that is great.
What fun! I find it hard to work here as playing and socializing are so much more fun.

SUSAN you are AWSOME . yup . That was a SPEW out the nose ..I totally agree with you. btw Thiland has one of the highest incidences of HIV in the known universe ,test and test again. I think if you have to go that far to "find someone" it is YOU that is flawed, maybe beyound redemption

Rog,
Not everyone judges people by their height...I have a great man in my life, and he's an inch or so taller than me. I'm 5'5". I wouldn't trade him for the world.

I just have to add, I have traveled all over the world and stereo types are for a reason, though obviously not always true. I have lived in and dated in a few major cities in the US. Now in NYC area, while I love midwestern women and every city has great women, many American women have lost it. What happened to taking care of your body (and yes some men too) In most of the rest of the world women realize their bodies are part of the whole package. In the US (hate to generalize but) women are so stuck on hear me roar, he should see me for my inner beauty blah blah blah I am just curry BS. Women in south america, eastern europe and even asia take care of thier bodies and maintain a healthy body fat percentage.

This thread makes me chuckle. I'm female and an expat for the last six plus years. I live in Asia and I travel all over the region. I've seen many expat men get involved with the local women. Some of these relationships work out, but many don't. I've also seen a few expat women get involved with the local men. Again, some work out and some don't.
I will generalize a bit here. Sadly, many of the men would find it a challenge to find a woman in their own culture (not all, but many), and the meek and mild Asian lady often turns into a flaming shrew once she knows that she has the "gentleman" hooked. I have witnessed more displays of just downright nasty behavior between guys and their and Asian girl friends/wives. How about the lady that got mad at her man on the subway escalator and beat him in the head with her pointy toes shoes (ouch)! I was in Bangkok one time and witnessed a fight in a restaurant. The beautiful young Thai woman had a mouth that would have made a stevedore blush. There's more, but I'm sure you get the picture. The point is, you guys who think that its Asian woman or nothing should take off the rose colored glasses. For every successful relationship there are probably at least 8 to 10 that don't work out.
As for expat females getting involved with the local men....It's funny but many of these men would probably find it difficult to get a woman in their own culture. Strange how that works eh?
One last thing, if you think that all Asians are skinny then you've not spent anytime in Asia. Although not in the same numbers as some other cultures, there are fat Asians everywhere.

Ken,
I take it English is not your first language, because your grasp of the written word is about that of a fifth grader. Just from what you have written, I would take it you are no Brad Pitt yourself, so why would any American woman want you anyway?

New York great place for single men???? Are you kidding? Maybe for gay men. I am a professional in my 30's living in Brooklyn. Unless I decide to go for a 40+ divorcee with kids and possibly grandkids, I have no chance.

Heck...I just go to my local grocery stores to meet women. A peek into their carts, a smile here and there, and traveling up and down the same aisles works well. Offer a special cut of beef and how to prepare it. Jump into the same check out line and offer to help her with her bags. Most of the time I get her number or give her mine and we're off and running. Works well!!!

Apparently there seems to be a discrepancy over Atlanta... let me just say.. Atlanta is an absolutely awful and terrible for normal single people who want to have a real relationship.. its great however for ghetto uneducated one night stands.. there ya go!
