A new study by Ben’s Natural Health shows the U.S. states where men are more likely to remain single, highlighting a variety of social and demographic factors that make dating a challenge for men in certain regions.
The analysis, which covered all 50 states, ranked the top 10 states where men face the greatest difficulty in finding a romantic partner.
The study used four key factors: the ratio of single men to single women, the number of clubs and bars per 100,000 people, the number of Tinder users per capita, and the percentage of male Tinder users.
Each factor was given equal weight in determining the overall “Singleness Index,” with higher scores indicating a greater likelihood that men in the state would remain single. The study also analyzed divorce rates, but they were not included in the final rankings.
According to the study, the top 10 states where men struggle most to find love are Tennessee, Wyoming, Texas, Colorado, North Dakota, South Carolina, Wisconsin, California, Hawaii and Washington.
Tennessee
According to the study, Tennessee is the state where men are most likely to stay single, with a Singleness Index score of 47.59. Despite the state boasting 451 clubs and bars and almost 40,000 Tinder users, men face tough competition in the dating scene. The state’s single-male-to-female ratio stands at 85.6, and 66 percent of Tinder users in Tennessee are male.
Wyoming
Wyoming ranked second with a score of 43.4. Unlike Tennessee, Wyoming has a higher ratio of single men to women at 106.1. The state’s sparse social scene is also a limiting factor. Wyoming has 72 clubs and bars and 3,055 Tinder users statewide, 66 percent of which are male.

Texas
Texas ranked third with a Singleness Index score of 40.13. The state has a single-male-to-female ratio of 94.7 and offers plenty of social opportunities, with 1,000 clubs and bars and more than 223,000 Tinder users—70 percent of which are men. Despite the larger pool of available partners, men in Texas still face significant challenges in their quest for love.
Colorado
Colorado ranked fourth with a score of 39.13. Like Wyoming, it has a high single-male-to-female ratio at 101.9. The state has a relatively healthy number of social venues—529 clubs and bars—and almost 70,000 Tinder users, 67 percent of which are male.
North Dakota
North Dakota, with a Singleness Index score of 38.16, ranked fifth. It has the highest ratio of single men to women at 106.7. The state has a low number of clubs and bars—just 118—and a limited Tinder user base of 4,597 people, which is 65 percent male.
The findings show that a skewed ratio of single men to single women and a high percentage of male Tinder users are critical factors that make it harder for men to find love in some states. While some places may offer plenty of social venues, the competition among men in the dating scene remains a significant hurdle.
