Everyone loves a list, especially when they’re on top of it. However, when it comes to The Daily Beast‘s recent “Best (and Worst) Cities to Find Love” list, I’m sorry to inform you that Charlotte wasn’t anywhere near the top of the list. Instead, the Q.C. only ranked 28 out of 104 of America’s largest cities. Worse, our city received poor marks for both social life and marriage. Ouch.
#28, Charlotte, NCSingles: A+
Social life: D
Emotional health: B
Marriage: D
Divorce: B

Of course, there are plenty of cities that fared far worse, which might be why Valentine’s Day is better known as Anti-Valentine’s Day in some circles.

Oh, that looks like a real accurate list, alright. I know that when I think of romantic places, I immediately think of…..Long Beach, Calif., which ranks No. 1 on this dumbf**k list.
Ah, exotic Long Beach, where a web of 10-lane freeways keep you hung up in traffic for hours and hours of romantic fun….
Ah, the Long Beach Port, home to large containers of cheap Chinese merchandise….
Ah, the LBC, home to Snoop Dogg and his tender, moving odes to the Bloods and Crips…
Sheesh
