Best Cities for Single Women

1. New York, New York

The land of nightlife, wealth and diversity, Manhattan offers great places for singles to mingle. You have a variety of locations to choose from when wanting to go out on the weekends including the meatpacking district or the East Village. Manhattan has everything to offer which makes it awfully easy to also meet fellow singles during the day. Try visiting local eateries and coffee shops as well as some of Manhattan’s great rooftop bars. Keep one thing in mind: regardless of where you are going, dress to impress, Manhattan has one of the most stylish local populations in the world. More: 5 Steps to Finding Lasting Love in NYC.

2. Austin, Texas

Austins downtown Sixth Street er berømt (især for singler) for gode drinks og levende musik. Austin's East Sixth Street (hvor du kan finde flere lokale singler, fordi det er mindre turistet) er også fantastisk til nye og kommende dykkerbarer. Austins lokale befolkning er meget smart og miljøvenlig, så tag dig derover for at møde andre singler, der også nyder de samme ting, som du gør.

3. New Orleans, Louisiana

It may seem like the land of mardi gras beads and cocktails (which are really great additives), but New Orleans is also the greatest city for singles. New Orleans has both Bourbon Street and Frenchmen Street, which are both very popular with locals and visitors alike because of their thriving nightlife – dancing, live music, and bars. Outside of the nightlife, New Orleans is also a very inviting city during the daytime. There are great kaffebarer og lokale hotspots til at blande sig med andre ivrige singler.

4. Las Vegas, Nevada

Selvfølgelig er Sin City på listen over bedste byer for singlehood, fordi det er plakatbarnet af singlehood. Det er ingen overraskelse, at Las Vegas rangerer først i undersøgelsen "vilde weekender" udført af America's Favorite Cities. Dette er bestemt stedet at feste med andre singler - bare forvent ikke at finde din soulmate her. For nogle sjove enkeltsteder, besøg Blue Martini eller Cadillac Ranch på Town Square eller Downtown Cocktail Room i Fremont East Entertainment District. Uanset hvor du tager hen i Vegas, er du forpligtet til at komme i nogle syndige problemer.

5. Chicago, Illinois

Selvom mange ved, at Chicago er den blæsende by, ved de ikke, at Chicago har en af ​​de mest blomstrende barscener i Amerika. Hvis du ønsker at blande dig med andre single lokale, så find vej til en af ​​de fantastiske barer i Chicagos største kvarterer, herunder Pilsen, Logan Square og Andersonville. Besøg også centrum for en fantastisk udsigt over byen og nogle fantastiske cocktails med andre singler.

6. Miami, Florida

Denne Florida hotspot er kendt for sin glamourøse festscene i South Beach og designdistriktet eller Brickell. Selvom dette kan være et godt sted at møde andre singler, er Miami også kendt for lokale, der kan være meget skræmmende. Uanset hvad er befolkningen meget stilfuld og attraktiv.

7. Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville has a very thriving music scene with an added plus: IT’S AFFORDABLE! This music scene is paired with very friendly locals, which makes Nashville a great city to be single in.  There are great local bars on lower Broadway including Willie and Waylon. If you are looking for a less touristy area to find local singles, make your way to the 12-South area.

8. Denver, Colorado

Although Colorado possesses a more laid back social scene than New York and Miami, it’s still a great place to meet local singles. You may have an easier time finding fellow singles while hiking, mountain biking, or at a local pub rather than a swanky club but the singles are prevalent regardless. Denver is known for having a large portion of their male population in shape (buff men!), great beer, as well as great outdoors.

9. Providence, Rhode Island

Providence is a great small-scale place to meet local singles. In the America’s Favorite Cities survey, Providence was voted as the greatest city to find singles in local neighborhood bars. Federal Hill, the city’s very own Little Italy, has great local bars and lounges. These joints are great for dancing and late night drinks. If going to bars does not strike your fancy, there are great local eateries, coffeehouses, and art galleries.

10. San Francisco, California

San Francisco is a very diverse city with some thing to do for everyone regardless of his or her social preference. Not into partying and bars? Try mingling with other singles at the local art galleries. For bar hoppers, San Francisco has a great social scene including bars in the Mission District, the Marina, and in the Tenderloin. San Francisco also has a very prevalent LGBT community in the historic Castro.

Wherever you go, make sure you remember to swallow your fear and pride, and be your most outgoing self. Go out to bars alone and talk to strangers. After all, you’ve got nothing to lose!

  1. Vegas is true for me. We went there a group of single ladies. We came home with flings. Who knows what would have happened if we lived there. Maybe something more permanent, Who knows.

  2. I have been to every one of these cities and I think Austin would have to be my favorite! They have some of the best music festivals in the world and the bar scene is incredible! You have to visit Austin to believe just how great it is. I am actually going to be there next weekend for a couple of days and have already planned out my evenings!

  3. I suppose NYC is a great place if you are single and hope to stay single? I love that there is so much to do here. It really makes being single fun. Definitely agree with Denver–really any place in Colorado is great for meeting guys!

  4. NYC definitely is a great city for singles…there is so much culture and neighborhoods to visit with friends! Love how other cities in the United States are covered too. Boston is also another great city for singles, since ALOT of young professionals work, play, and live there.

  5. I definitively agree with this list. And I'm proud to say I live in the best place for singles, NYC. There's so much to offer here. One of my new favorite spots is La Marina which is in uptown Manhattan. It's by the water and you have a great view of the Washington bridge, there's a restaurant, bar, djs and secluded area that's like a beach. Everyone should definitely check it out. It's a large party everyday.

  6. I’ve lived in Denver for 2 years and I never had a boyfriend there. But since I’ve moved to New York, I had 5 boyfriends in 2 years. It’s kinda tiring to go through so many relationships at a short period. I blame the big city. haha
