Faithful reader “Rebecca” shares a link to The Daily Beast’s new city ranking, “Best (and Worst) Cities to Meet Men.”
Our beloved Queen City ranked 26 out of 36. At least we beat San Jose.
“After New York City, Charlotte is the country’s banking capital, making it the home to a number of young yuppies in training,” quoth the Beast. “Though highly educated, the city has a serious shortage of available bachelors. You’d be better off hedging your bets on Wall Street.”
The posting quotes the editor of Creative Loafing, Carlton Hargro: “The men say the women are difficult to date in the sense that people don’t go out as much, and the women say that the guys are in a perpetual state of adolescence and they’re just trying to get laid; they’re not interesting in wining and dining.” Maybe they shoulda asked our “Paid To Party” blogger Sarah Aarthun?
Quips Rebecca: “Apparently we are not only dumb but our men are cheap and immature.” The Daily Beast, you’ll recall, ranked Charlotte at No. 16 among what it deemed the smartest cities.
