Miami Is Magic For Mate-Less Men

Are you a lonely male looking for a mate in the Magic City?  Consider yourself lucky, but not quite as fortunate as the bachelors in four other U.S. cities.

Rent.com, an internet listing site for rental properties, researched cities across the country and composed a list of the top U.S. bachelor-friendly cities.

According to the list, the mecca for single men in the U.S. is Houston, Texas due to the city's affordability and its' all-around attractiveness.  Chicago, a great city for singles of both genders, comes in at second.  Next is San Antonio because of the fact that women greatly outnumber men.  For men who want to live in a city where single women outnumber single men by a million, move on over to the land of countless bars, art galleries, and museums, New York City.

Rest assure single men of Miami, because right after New York City, the Magic City is the place to be to meet a mate.  Rent.com highlights Miami for a few reasons: the spicy nightlife, cost of living is less than other large cities, the abundance of beaches and outdoor-fun and the city's dance club scene.

Rounding out the bachelor-friendly city list is Los Angeles because of its exciting nightlife, New Orleans, the 'BigEasy,' proves easy for men because of its affordability and lovable jazz spots, Philadelphia attracts a lively crowd and boasts a low divorce-rate and, last but not least, is Washington, DC for its "cultural charm and historical appeal".

The folks at Rent.com not only provided a list of cities for great for singles, but they also did some research and revealed some of the habits, attitudes and quirks of bachelor's and their pads:

The survey found that 46 percent of single men under 25 live for free thanks to either friends or family.  Only four percent of single male renters claim kitchen-space as important.  Forty-five percent seek single ladies for their neighbors.  About two in five single men pay between 25 and 50 percent of their monthly income on rent, while seven percent fork-up more than half their income for their dream bachelor pad.  A majority of single males, 87 percent, claim they clean their own apartments, while five percent invite mom over to clean for them.
