    Columbus is 21st Best City for Singles in 2008

    Forbes just published the results for their annual “Best Cities for Singles” list, and Columbus has slipped from 19th Place in 2007 down to 21st Place in 2008. We seem to do well in the categories of “Cost of Living Alone” and “Online Dating” while our biggest problem category is “Coolness” this year.

    Aside from Minneapolis and Chicago, Columbus is one of the top-ranked spots in the midwest in this list though, beating out neighbors including Detroit, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Cleveland.

    These lists should always be taken with a grain or two of salt, though. Columbus has fluctuated pretty wildly on this list in the past, clocking in at #28 in 2003 and all the way back up to #11 in 2006, without any real explanation as to why we’re on such a rollercoaster. Anyone have any theories?
