Single and ready to mingle but you live in the wackest city for dating??

Check out the list below for 10 of the best cities in America for unattached Black folks…and let us know if you agree.

Chicago

The city President Barack Obama calls home has almost 50 colleges, universities and professional institutes making it a magnet for black singles. The black community in Chicago is entrenched and close knit–the Chicago Defender, the city’s black-owned newspaper, is the only black daily in the nation.

Chicago’s convention and trade show center and its sporting events like Bulls and Bears games, attract many more singles. Chicago is great for concerts, including blues, jazz, R&B or classical. On any given day, you’ll find a show somewhere in the city, along with a lot of single blacks in attendance.

Atlanta

If you can get past all the posers, “fake ballers”, downlow brothers, and stripper hoes then Atlanta is one of the best cities in America for AA singles. Here’s what “they say” about dating in ATL:

In Atlanta, or “Hot Lanta” as it’s often called, the number of black women slightly outnumber men, but the city is teeming with professional black men and women–439 of the Fortune 500 companies are based here. It’s not unusual to see many well-heeled black singles behind the wheels of BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes and Lexuses.

Atlanta is home to several historically black colleges and universities, including Clark, Morris Brown, the all-male Morehouse College and all-female Spelman College.

You’ll find a lot of singles working out at the Downtown Athletic Club. In Buckhead, a chic area north of downtown, check out the cafes, stores and clubs where black singles congregate. On weekends, singles troll Lenox Mall to shop–not just for clothes, but also for that special someone

Dallas

Thousands of Black college graduates are ascending on the DFW area in search of new careers and new lives. Dallas’ diverse economy is attracting young graduates and professionals from all over the country. Everyday they arrive, most taking residence in the plentiful luxury apartments across the region in North Dallas, the northern suburbs, mid-cities, and the suburbs south of the city. These black professionals are poised to join the ranks of Dallas’ expanding Black middle-class.
