Turns out, Ohio is one of those places. The state just ranked No. 6 in that aforementioned list of unattached humans looking for love and lust in America; guess it’s all the corn-fed Midwestern hotties wandering around. Or the key metrics used to evaluate all 50 states across three main dimensions.
Ohio ranked 8 in dating opportunities, 20 in dating economics and 7 in romance and fun.
But what exactly are “dating economics,” “dating opportunities” and “romance and fun?”
According to WalletHub, “dating economics” constitutes things like the average price of wine and beer, the median credit store and the cost of a haircut whereas “dating opportunities” run the gamut from the share of single adults to online-dating opportunities. “Romance and fun”? That encompasses the amount of restaurants per capita, music festivals per capita, movie theaters per capita, etc. and the crime rate plus online dating safety.
The best place to be single? Florida. Second best? California. Worst?
West Virginia. Virginia may be for lovers, but West Virginia is definitely not.

Corn-fed? This is OHIO…are you confusing it with IOWA? Oh, yeah, those four-letter Midwestern states all look and sound alike, don’t they?
Although, at the rate Cleveland is losing its trees, we WILL be mistaken for Iowa in a couple more decades. Very sad to watch.
And “hotties”…does anybody REALLY say that anymore? Nope…
Morons like WalletHub…whatever the hell THAT is…and those insurance folks who rate and rank drivers and where the lousiest states to drive are..pull all this this ranking and rating stuff from the hind end of a horse. Or maybe theey just sit around and make shit up.
Sixth-best this…third-worst that…what a waste of time, space, and keystrokes. Please, SCENE, enough with the farkokte lists already!
