Ooh la la! NJ is in top 10 states for single men looking for love

We’re all busy, everything is so divisive, and dating apps can be a nightmare. It can be a real struggle to try to find someone to go out with.

According to a new study, however, we have it better in the Garden State than others when it comes to men looking for a relationship.

Researchers at Men’s Flair analyzed population and income data, housing prices, and access to recreation and nightlife to identify the best states for single people.
