Here's one to tuck away in the interesting information category: take a wild guess as to which city is rated the #18 in the country in terms of number of single people. Well, your guess probably wouldn't be any closer to right than mine. It's Greenville (yes, Greenville, NC).
Check it out at Money Magazine.
Kind of frustrating if you ask me. One of my excuses for the generally poor condition of my love life has always been there aren't that many single people here. Guess I can't use that one anymore. Maybe I'll clarify it by saying there aren't that many single, Christian, intelligent, not crazy women in Greenville who want to date me. Maybe that'll work better.
Interestingly enough, we don't do so hot on some other categories: average salary, crime, job growth, etc. But apparently we have a lot of single people (and good air quality).

That survey is a scam :) Just by looking at the top 10, it's easy to see why they all have a lot of singles: they're big college towns. Indiana University, Rutgers, Texas A&M, Iowa State University and Harvard are all located in the top 6. Not a coincidence. So yes, anybody who's looking for an 18-year-old sorority chick* shouldn't have a problem.
* no offense to sorority chicks
Yes, I noticed that too. Sadly, the 18-year-old sorority girl isn't quite my type. If they were, I'd have probably about 40-50 to choose from this fall (my students). But, due to ethical, legal, practical and many other concerns, not really my thing.
Well now, that explains alot. Ok, so now i'm out of excuses too.
I do think that we're in a lonely boat looking for intellegent, christian singles around here though. Maybe we should turn 20something into a dating service?
I've heard far too many horror stories about singles' groups turning into dating services. It seems like a lot of churches think to really be godly, you need to be married so they see fit to try to "help out" singles. That's one think I'm very thankful hasn't happened with 20something.
The world just needs to realize the value of smart, good-looking, Christ-following Jamies.
I KNOW!! I've been trying to tell the world the value of intellegent, dilligent, good looking, Christian Jamies! I too a glad 20some is'nt a singles group, I love our atmosphere of nondrama. Imagine what it would be like if we had hook ups and breakups within our group! It would ruin the dynamic we all have together, Its just so much fun to go after service and hang out with individuals, not couples and stuff. I agree churches do that, I really think thats why so many younger Chrisitans stuggle with dating and relationships, the church in general puts such a high premium on marriage, it really stifles the plans that God has for us while we're young, pliable and single. When we still have the energy and time and freedom to conquer the world if we want to without having to tuck a little one into bed.
If we turn 20something into a dating service, I'm outie. I like that fact that I can come and be myself without worrying if someone likes me or doesn't. Of course I'm not allowed to hug anymore so maybe everyone doesn't know it isn't a dating service...hmm
What??? 20Something isn't a dating service? Guess you kids won't be seeing me there anymore.
