Cincinnati's Single Men Could Be Using Wrong Approach
By Burt Safer | Dealer staff writer    Wed, Mar 9, 2005
 
CINCINNATI - In Forbes' annual "Best Cities For Singles" ratings, Cincinnati ranked 39th out of 40 cities in 2004. As this graffiti in Bellevue Hill Park shows, the city's dismal dating habitat is the fault of some local single men themselves:

 

"I NEED SOME PUSSY REAL BAD. LEAVE NAME AND DATE FOR FRIDAYS ONLY BETWEEN 5:30 PM AND 8:30 PM. I'LL BE SITTING ON THE BENCH. ASK FOR DAVE AND TERRY."

 

According to Collean King, a local dating expert who writes for Queen City Forum Magazine, there are a number of problems with Dave's dating strategy..

"Bringing a third-wheel along on a first date is most definitely a dating no-no," said King, "If Dave wants to make his date feel at ease, I suggest that Terry stay home, at least for the first few dates."

 

What about Dave's choice of locale? "During the daytime, a park can be a great place to meet someone new, but at night I would suggest Dave try to meet Ms. Right in a safer place, like the Hyde Park Kroger's."

 

"Single men need to make space in their lives for a relationship," she said, "Since Dave is only available for three hours during the week, how many serious answers can he expect to receive?"

 

As of Friday night, Dave still hadn't found a date.
