New York: #5 So, Forbes.com, that all-knowing beast of urban savvy (even I'm not sure what I meant by that), has posted some sort of ranking of the major cities of the U.S. on a whole variety of factors: it's called Best Cities for You. Overall, New York is number 5. Gothamist is confused, and rightfully so. New York is rated "best city for singles" and when Gothamist posted as much on their site, Forbes wrote back to say that no, New York is just number 1 in that category because it has the greatest number of single people. Ok, well, if you go to the chart, entitled " Best Cities for Singles", New York is number 1. So, Forbes needs to get its act together. Anyway, the point is that no way should NY be #1 on that list -- not that it is a bad city for singles, but I am sure someplace like Austin is better. New York's lowest rating is in the "job" category - apparently, it is hard to find a job in NY. Really? I mean, it might be pretty competitive out there, but NY has tons of jobs. And, I am not sure if I got this right, but who had the number one nightlife? Yeah, obviously: Cincinatti.

I don't even know why I just wrote about this.

UPDATE: Chosun responds:

I saw this today too, and was kinda confused. They rated the cities based on a series of factors including nightlife, cost of living, online singles, etc. Funny thing is, I read that NYC was the #1 city in the US for single men (D.C. was #2) only a few months ago. Either way, I think it's pretty clear that NYC is a great place to be if you're single.

For Chosun, any place is a good place to be if you're single. I know the guy; he does well.  ¶ 3:28 PM
