Philadelphia is one of the worst cities in the U.S. for dating

Looking for love in Philly? You might have a tough time, according to a new ranking by FetishFinder. The study ranks 20 major U.S. cities based on the likelihood of finding love—or at least finding a date—and Philadelphia comes in near the bottom.

Researchers from FetishFinder conducted a survey and collected data on six key metrics: the population of single people, the likelihood of marriage, the annual divorce rate, the rate of individuals actively searching for a relationship, quality of life and cost of living.

According to the study, Philadelphia is the third worst city for dating. While the city has a high number of singles, Philly suffers from lower ratings in quality of life, interest in dating and likelihood of marriage. At least we can say we’re ranked higher than Los Angeles and New York, the two worst cities for dating. Chicago and San Antonio make a poor showing as well, as the fourth and fifth worst cities respectively.

If you want to increase your chances of getting a date, having fun and even finding love, the best cities for dating in the U.S.—according to the study—are Seattle, Denver, Dallas, Indianapolis and Austin.
