if you’re single, be afraid. apparently houston is one of the top 10 WORST cities for dating… according to “Sperling’s BestPlaces”… whatever the hell that is.

you can find the full list of best and worst at this site: http://houseandhome.msn.com/move/BestCitiesforDating.aspx?GT1=3278

it sounds extremely scientific:

“The study is based on criteria that include percentage of singles ages 18-24, population density, and dating venues per capita such as concerts, coffee shops, bars, bowling alleys, etc., and includes 80 metro areas in America. AXE Deodorant Bodyspray, which specializes in the dating game, teamed with Sperling’s BestPlaces to find out which city is revered as the D.C. (Dating Capital) of the U.S.”

i like the use of the scientific lingo, like “D.C.”.

according to the study, one of houston’s greatest weakness is a scarcity of lingerie shops. does that mean that montrose area residents get more action than people in sugarland? well… actually…

oh, and, to make matters worse for h-town,�the study names austin as�the D.C. of america. oh sperling’s, why must you taunt us so with yr scientific data?! maybe if houstonians started using more axe deodorant… riiight.
