Video: How to Get Invited to a Wedding

Recently, my friend Adam met a young woman at a bar in Washington, D.C., who enraptured him and made him think, "Maybe D.C. really is the best city for singles, despite vast evidence to the contrary."

Mapping America's Singles

Trying to figure out what city to move to for the best “ratio,” as various chaches like to say? Check out this map. The red represents the metro areas with more single women than men; the blue means it’s more of a “rugby match.” I’m no census expert, but the trend moving east to west...
