- Colorado Springs, Colorado. Colorado Springs tops the list on numerous websites, boasting military bases, universities, outdoor activities and killer nightlife. According to The Richest, Colorado Springs also has a population where 48% identify as single. I like those odds, and men who enjoy outdoorsy and sporty activities, too.

If you’re a snow bunny, you might want to head to Denver, where the median disposable income is $15,388 and people get into relationships fairly quickly!
- Austin, Texas. In Austin, there are allegedly 102.6 unmarried men to every 100 unmarried women! Austin also boasts being in the top half of cities, according to the Wall Street Journal, where relationships are formed quickly (meaning you wont have to wait forever for him to ask you to be his girlfriend). And if everything is truly bigger in Texas… then sign me up.
- San Diego, California. Forbes has exciting news! There are 100.7 single men per every 100 single women! That’s a perfect match. San Diego is also home to more men in uniform, amazing Mexican food, and beautiful weather. Why aren’t we all moving there?

If you don’t mind the snow, then this city might be for you. Zillow says the population is 65% single, and 8.8% are new single residents that moved in the last year. Apparently Minnesotans in Minneapolis also have an extra $16,503 a year to play with. Get my snow boots, I’m moving in!
