After The Daily Beast crunched the numbers on population, eligible guys, four-year college degrees, nightlife and the number of gyms, Atlanta topped its list of best and worst cities to meet men.

As with any of the lists Atlanta showsupon, data rarely equals reality. This list mentions single gals who are searching, but doesn't seem to consider Atlanta's significant gay population, or how it could affect the data it used. It weighs all the bars, restaurants, clubs and theaters  -- much of what we do for fun -- as equal to places where we sweat on the treadmill. To keep the list tidy and uncomplicated, they couldn't consider that where you meet people in Atlanta might be different than where you meet them in Columbus, Ohio or Los Angeles. Really, if I had to recommend a place in Atlanta for the single-and-searching, I'd instruct them to put Bella or Buddy on a leash and head to a dog park.

Then again, the Daily Beast only promised that you'd meet single men, not that you'd date them.

So, why Atlanta this time? Our Census data, and a social scene that "cooks."

Whether it's the Southern hospitality or the sub-tropical breezes, something about Atlanta is attracting all the right men: the doctors training at Emory, the junior executives at Coca-Cola, and the musicians and artists that make up one of the country's most vibrant music scenes.

The list gives nods to the Graveyard Tavern in East Atlanta Village and downtown's Glenn Hotel Rooftop Bar.

Rounding out the top 10 are Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Washington, D.C., Austin, Miami, San Diego and Denver. Last on the list: El Paso, Texas.

So what do you think? Where are the best, most fun places in Atlanta to meet singles?
