Atlanta-Columbus dating

Atlanta has lost its spot as Forbes' No. 1 city for singles.

Taking its place? New York. Here's the really bad news: This year, Atlanta was ranked No. 6.

Talk about a downgrade. Read more about the list here.

I asked this question when I wrote about last year's rankings and I'll ask it again:

How many of you Columbus singletons regularly check out the meet market in Atlanta?

The city has an impressive nightlife and includes a lot of events that appeal to Columbus daters set on the "young professional" scene.

It's a good option for girls in Columbus who want a relationship, but won't go to the local clubs because of the deluge of military guys.

But at the same time, Atlanta's close -- but still 90 miles away.

If you meet someone there and start a serious relationship, there's going to be a decent amount of travel involved. And Atlanta traffic is hardly pleasant.

Thoughts?
