These lists/rankings are always so dumb. Naples is better for singles than Tampa? Maybe for 70 year olds.

 

[KitingHigh]

From what I hear there is no better place for a single older man than the Villages.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

Yeah Ive heard that and also about the high retiree std rate in that town. Also Miami/Ft Lauderdale a C and Tampa a D? Not buying that at all.

 

[DanC78]

I did great in Jacksonville in my early 30s

 

[OrlandNole]

Tallahassee and Gainesville are great if you're a single college student.

 

[Fijimn]

Tallahassee and Gainesville are great if you're a single college student.

Or interested in coachs' wives

(too soon?)

 

[LT4PLY]

I think this list is for "young singles" and not just singles.

Same. It's actually a pretty good town if you're a single guy. I always heard the opposite from single women.

 

[OrlandNole]

I think this list is for "young singles" and not just singles.

Even if you're in your mid-20s to 30s, I would think large metros like Tampa, Orlando, Miami, etc. offer more opportunities than Gainesville and Tally.

Villages = awful. Old men from up north with STD's from what I've heard.
I recommend game day tailgates of fraterno American alums.

Waffle House = cheap dates.

Reportedly the highest STD rate in the US.

 

[JohnnieHolmesNole]

Funny, every city I have ever been in worked fine for me. Probably the ascot. Go figure.

It is cheaper to buy the beer in bulk no matter where you are. But you have to admire the detail and planning that allows this alcoholic who is dead set on a bender to drink and drive with great efficiency.

It is, after all, in the details. Carry on.

STD = Seniors Tappin' Dat

 

[ReliableOstrich]

I haven't lived in FL since I was 20 but I'd have to think FLL, MIA, and TPA would be tops for singles in their mid20s-mid30s.

Followed by Orlando and Jax?

 

[LT4PLY]

Even if you're in your mid-20s to 30s, I would think large metros like Tampa, Orlando, Miami, etc. offer more opportunities than Gainesville and Tally.

I'm thinking more like early 20's young. Because I 100 percent agree, mid 20's and later the list makes zero sense.

So tailgates are the “ Hot spots”!

They've been "interesting" for me!

Really! Why get STD's from a yankee import when you can just keep them in the family?
