Quantcast

Love, San Francisco Style

on_the_beach.jpgToday's random survey comes to us from Men's Health which listed San Francisco as the #1 city in their "Top Five Cities to Find a Mate" survey. San Jose is listed at #3, making this neck of the woods the hook up capitol of the country. San Jose was also listed as one of the Top 5 best cities for hooking up by Jane Magazine (don't ask us how we know that) but SF was nowhere to be seen (couldn't find a link, but trust us on this).

The funny thing about all this, however, is that just a few years ago, San Francisco was listed as not one of the best places for singles. Hmm...

Anyways, all you need to know about what kind of survey this is by looking at the criteria. Besides the usual stuff-- education, number of people with the hotness, singles ratios-- there are a few things that seem off. Like "philanthropy," meaning actually what philanthropy means, giving money to charities. Does giving money to various Free Mumia organizations count? And what about us residents who don't attend fabulous gala fundraisers? Do most of us give money to "philanthropic organizations" or just "causes?" And then there's "physical fitness" because, as the survey says "a long, satisfying relationship is an endurance event, which is why if a guy isn't in great physical shape, you'll probably end up crossing the finish line alone." Uhh, does walking from an apartment to the local dive bar three times a week count as fitness?

In other words, this survey sounds kind of silly. But that’s just us.
