Craving a Little Guy Candy? Get Your Sweet Fix Satisfied

“Where have all the good men gone?” is the number one question for so many single women, particularly around Valentine’s Day. Well they are certainly not all married.  According to the U.S. Census Bureau, for every 100 single women in the United States there are 88 unmarried men available.   This overall statistic may make the question ring true, but women need know the numbers and how to work them to their advantage.

For example, census counts in cities like Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, San Diego, Dallas, and Seattle show that men there continue to outnumber women.

In addition to these big city spots, there are plenty of places that are chock full of guy candy! Here’s where you can get your sweet fix going:

1.      Wondering where all the suits hang out? Here are some clues: First class is how they prefer to fly; V.I.P. airport lounges are where they wait, the 6:30 a.m. flight is the most popular departure time. That’s right! Studies reveal that professional men, more than women, are away from home for business, on average 4.3 nights of the month. Hotels and restaurants located close to convention centers as well as ones in your town’s business or financial district are major hotspots if you’re a homebody who’s searching for some good and plenty.

2.    Television, beer and sports are a few of men’s favorite things. Add them up and what do you get? Any bar with a television and good brew on tap. Instead of traipsing to all the trendy places around town waiting for Mr. Goodbar, try kicking back at your local watering hole the next time there’s a big game going on. You need not be a fan to get involved in this spectator sport - simply swap out the little black dress for an old comfy jersey – guys flock to a woman who’s keen on showing off her hometown spirit.   Note: If you still want to wear the LBD, guys also  watch sports in the bars of higher end restaurants and steakhouses.

3.      If you’re in the mood for risk and amusement, the casino is the place you can hit the jackpot! We promise the pickings will be lush in cities like Las Vegas, Montreal and even resort destinations like Puerto Rico and the Bahamas where gambling guys flock for bachelor parties, long weekends and midnight runs.  Most men who are in it to win it at the poker, black jack or craps tables are waiting for lady luck to arrive, so best be ready to blow on some dice.  

4.      Location, location, location. Think along these lines and you will boost more than just your property value. ZipSkinny.com lets you figure out which are the most densely male populated parts of any US city while honing in on hot testosterone spots based on age, race, occupation, educational achievement, marital status, even household income.  Understanding male population clusters in your particular zip code will make it easier to navigate towards them as you bop around town.

5.      Like to live on the edge? You need not look far to find a man who can take you there. Instead of a humdrum girlfriend getaway try an extreme sport tour package for your next vacation. Popular among the men, adventure tourism is one of the fastest-growing trends in leisure travel. It may be as intense as ice-climbing, base jumping and propelling into underground caves, and as simple as paddling through a rainforest or trekking along the Great Wall of China. Whichever trip you choose it will be a sweet adventure you will always remember.
