Dating and Drinking

Leigh: Check it out! Forbes.com ranked Boston the SECOND best place for singles!
Gloria: HAHAHAHAHAHA
Gloria: Perhaps if you are under 22 and ugly and not picky
Leigh: That's it. I'm going to set the record straight
Leigh: I'm going to create a blog that'll tell the truth
Gloria: Oooh. That's a good idea. And we can do it for all different cities, since soon I'll be moving to LA, which is apparently the 9th best city for singles
Gloria: Which is ONE BIG FAT LIE, since the only guys I met last summer were 33 and divorced
Leigh: We're going to tell the truth about these cities. I just have to stay single for this blog, which won't be that hard
Leigh: I live in Boston, after all

While perhaps that glossed over a lot of my misspellings due to the fact that I was typing with only one hand because I was busy eating a popsicle, and quite a few tangents - well, that's basically how this all started. Yes, Forbes just put out a list naming the best cities for singles. And it is the stupidest list in the world, perhaps even worse than US News's school rankings.

Now, if you look at Forbes's methodology, you'll immediately realise how faulty their measures are. (Hey, I didn't take a year's worth of stats for nothing.) In fact, the only really viable measure is perhaps the "cost of living alone" one. The rest? ALL CRAP.

But hey. We might as well write about our travails of being single - although, you shouldn't treat this entirely as such. Hopefully, we'll post cogent notes about bars and restaurants and other attractions so that you can use this as an informal city guide to wherever we currently are.

We'll keep open minds, don't worry. But it's not our fault if other company sucks. It makes for funny stories at least.
