Relocating for a career opportunity is fairly common, but what about moving to increase your odds of finding a soulmate? Zillow recently revealed the best metros to find love. The rankings are based on the population of single residents and the number of single newcomers. Other factors in the mix include the number of date spots, like restaurants and bars, and the median income of residents 18 and older.
Boston secured the top spot with 66 percent of its population consisting of singles and a staggering 159 romantic meeting places per 10,000 people. Despite the steep cost of apartments, Boston singles, with a median income of $25,000, have a little more dough to spend on their dates.
New Orleans may have a party reputation, but it also ranks as the second-best place in the U.S. to find a match. Fifty-nine percent of NOLA residents are single, and there are 51 date spots per 10,000 residents.
As Zillow’s research indicates, finding a partner may also help offset the high costs of housing. Although married couples represent 60 percent of home buyers, the number of unmarried couples transitioning to home ownership is climbing. In 2015, unmarried couples represented 15 percent of all home buyers compared to 11 percent a decade ago. Meanwhile, the percentage of single home buyers dropped from 31 percent to 25 percent between 2010 and 2015. With two incomes, setting aside money for a down payment is significantly easier given the current trend of rising home prices nationwide.
Check out the full breakdown of metros where love, and perhaps homeownership, is on the horizon.
Online dating, bars, friends, religious groups, the gym. These are all good ways to meet men. However, there must be a great alternative option that gives you an immediate leg up. There is!
My idea is very easy. Find a meetup group, sport, or any activity people meet at that you are not particularly good at and start attending regularly.
Why are you doing this?
Men crave to feel needed by women in a world women RARELY need men.
So how do you accomplish this phenomenon?
Simple, join that Jui Jitsui class. Attempt to learn and when you struggle ask the good looking single guy if he can help you. (Men LOVE giving advice and teaching)
Once he teaches you something, perhaps you catch his eye and then you can get to know each other. If not, you can always try it on the next guy.
Now this idea may seem like a lot of work. Well, it is. So I would suggest picking an activity you would like to learn. Also, manage your expectations. Even if you don't meet a guy, you got your butt out of the house and did something you may have never done. Not to mention, if you stick with this activity, eventually you are going to get good at it. Once you are good at another activity, you are a more well rounded and interesting person.
If a guy gets a date with you via online dating and you tell him you can do jui jitsua, the right guy might be very interested and intrigued.
So basically, you are either getting a date or becoming more attractive to potential suitors. Sounds like a win/win situation.
Everyone can go use online dating and get a first date, but getting a high quality guy to commit to a relationship is a lot more challenging. Instead of teaching you online dating, I am going to give you the #1 thing you can do offline to not only meet men but give you a real good shot of keeping one forever.
As I have highlighted in many articles, men gravitate towards women who make them feel needed and appreciated. Thus, it is a lot easier to be irresistible to a man if you put yourself in a situation where is he is 100% needed. So how do you create this situation?
Simple.
Attend a class where you will learn something and then either ask the instructor or cute class mate to help you. Possible classes could be yoga, computer programming class, jui jujitsu, dance class, and this list could go on forever.
Once you receive help, make sure you give huge amounts of appreciation. "Wow, thank you so much for your help, I never would have been able to do this without you."
Why is this method awesome?
1. You get to learn something
2. You meet someone organically - When you meet in real life, you can fully access attractions, social cues, and if it looks like conversation on a date would be fun and flow naturally.
3. Classes have multiple people in them, dates only have one person (If one guy doesn't cut the mustard, there is many options)
Alright ladies, go take some classes and allow men to help you. The help should be relaxing because all day at work you had to fend for yourself, but now in this class you are getting fully supported while the man feels needed and appreciated. Sounds like the perfect win/win situation.
