The findings, published in the April issue of Glamour, are based on a survey of 5,000 unmarried men and women, 21 and older, living in the nation’s 10 largest metro areas.

Maybe Washington’s high rating shouldn’t come as much of a surprise; Virginia is for lovers, after all, and Arlington has been called the nation’s most romantic city.

On the other hand, a bevy of questionable superlatives don’t speak highly of the region. In addition to having the nation’s worst traffic congestion, D.C. has been named among America’s ugliest, rudest, most caffeinated, and least manly cities.

Sheesh, it’s a wonder we ever manage to find love.

While D.C.’s single ladies are the happiest, it’s apparently a sad, sad scene for women in Boston, which rated lowest on the singles satisfaction scale.
