Where the Guys Are
MC'S TOP 20
Marie Claire mined the latest census data to find the cities with the highest ratio of available men to women. (The winner: tech mecca San Jose, where it's like shooting fish in a barrel.) We then scored cities on their "date friendliness," factoring in the overall fitness of each city's fellas, the ubiquity of Starbucks and movie theaters, the accessibility of the city's mass transit, and, of course, time of last call.
