New research has revealed that Coventry - yes, the home of three cathedrals, is the best place to be single.
Cue Beyonce's All The Single Ladies.
Now, I'm from Coventry and I'm single, and I have been wracking my brains all day wondering why good ol' Cov is the best place to be single. I'm stumped, seriously.
I don't think the food court in Coventry is THE place to meet people - unless you've always wanted to get up close and personal with the guy who works behind the counter at KFC.
We do have a pretty huge Ikea in Coventry - perhaps singletons find love as they peruse the Malm furniture selection whilst eating hot dogs suggestively.
Coventry folks will know that the only potential place to meet the man of your dreams is The Kasbah (who like me, would still call it The Colly), but that's once you've had too many vodkas. And forget the fact that he's probably just had his A-level results.
Or there's Scholars - the club that sells Cherry Lambrini by the bottle. I've seen a few hotties in my time, there. Might be because of the Cherry Lambrini though.
*Wracks brains some more*
The Primark is amazing, let's be honest, go in there at the right time of the day and you'll feel like Beyonce having free reign. But that's nowhere to meet your future Jay-Z, or is it?
I've read the study again, and according to Badoo, the world's largest dating network, it's because of "soaring levels of dating app engagement".
Ohhh, it's because single gals in Coventry are all finding love online. Ultimately it must mean that Coventry girls, like myself, are excellent with flirty banter (or as the cool kids say - flanter) because the study found that women in Coventry have the second highest concentration of single men, recieved the most profile visits AND had the most direct messages.
What a time to be alive - in Cov.
London, by contrast, is the most challenging if you're looking for love, as just a third (34%) of men are single, followed by Cardiff (38%) and Oxford (38%). Badoo's research exposes the great misconception that living in big cities makes it easier to find a boyfriend.
NOTE: I'm allowed to be horrible about Coventry, but no one else is, ok?
