This 'Dating Difficulty Index' Reveals The States Where Dating Sucks The Most

This 'Dating Difficulty Index' Reveals The States Where Dating Sucks The Most

Where you live may say more about your potential for dating success than you'd think.

We’ve all heard the phrase “looking for love in all the wrong places.” But is there some truth to that in a literal sense?

A new report from Gen Z-centered adult content site Hidden examined dating-adjacent data from all 50 states to get to the bottom of that very question for American daters: Are some states just straight-up worse for single people trying to make those meaningful connections?

Researchers analyzed six common factors affecting dating in each state — from the population (and percentage of single people in it), expenses for the average date in the area (and availability of bars and restaurants to have those dates in), documented online interest in dating (ex: dating apps and dating tip queries on search engines) and how much folks are spending on dating apps.

Combining these data points, each state was assigned a Dating Difficulty Index score between 0 and 100, with the higher numbers representing the states that are the most difficult places for people trying to find love.
