Or as MoveBudda.com describes it,
October to Valentine’s Day is the time of year when even the most fiercely independent singles may start to long for the comfort and warmth that a romantic partner can provide – even if it’s just to tide them over ‘til spring.
And according to their recent study, Grand Rapids is one of the top cities where "cold weather, a young population, and ample activities combine to make for a seasonal boom in the dating market".
To determine their ranking, MoveBudda analyzed U.S. cities with populations over 100K for the following criteria:
