The only other two Florida cities on the list also dropped in the rankings this year. Miami, 2004's 10th best city for singles, is now 23rd. Orlando, 20th last year, is now 31st.

Miami does have better looking women

I really doubt these lists. I mean how can fifty cities be rated like this by a small group of people? I think there are opportunities for singles who try to meet people in any place outside of the polar caps. I think Forbes should stick with business.

Yea, it's a crock. They just use intangible methods of these rankings. Did they factor things in like the miles and miles of beaches as a place to meet people? What does Denver have to compare to that?

Well, I can tell you that the women in Denver aren't as hot as the women in FLA.

What are these rankings based on anyway?
