And I thought it was my thinning Papa Smurf hair and “income impairment”. After viewing this interactive map though, it all becomes clear. Adjusting the slider to the age range I find acceptable (30-59; I think I’m being pretty darn open-minded on this!), the town I live in (Ann Arbor) has one of the largest blue bubbles in the US, with 40 extra men per 1000. My only solace is that there’s such a huge gay community here. Meaning either that number is actually skewed slightly, or I can still take a friend of mine’s advice and become bisexual, which, as she puts it, “doubles your chance for a date on a Friday night“. Fortunately, I already have plans to relocate to Albuquerque, which has a nice big pink bubble. By the way, note that there’s a little “link to this map” link in the lower right of the page. It lets you link to the customized map you created with your slider adjustments so you can more easily torture your friends. For more amusing maps like this you might want to check out the Who’s Your City maps on Richard Florida’s site. He’s the author of the bestsellers The Rise of the Creative Class and Who’s Your City. I’ll just be packing my things now.
