So, apparently Boston is actually a great place to meet your significant other. Go ahead – laugh and roll your eyes all you want but the proof’s in the numbers, folks. Business Insider reported yesterday that “ladies who are looking for a serious relationship may want to consider moving to Boston.”

That’s because many Boston-area guys seem to be looking for the real deal. The latest dating study from online dating site, AYI.com, found that over 40 percent AYI’s male users living in Boston were looking for a serious relationship. Single ladies – this should be music to your ears!

And that also means there’s more serious relationship-minded men in Boston than any other city – at least for those on AYI.com. Business Insider reported that Fort Worth, TX came in second for having the most men looking for a serious relationship, followed by Memphis, TN, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

But if you’re looking for just a “casual relationship,” you can find one in Illinois, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and South Carolina, the study points out. According to Business Insider, these are the “top five states looking for a casual relationship.”

Although, we’re pretty sure you won’t have trouble finding one in Boston either. With plenty of perfect date spots and (apparently) plenty of men looking for serious relationships, our city is certainly a great place to meet that special someone.
