Researchers took into consideration 35 key indicators to determine which cities were the most dating-friendly. The indicators included things such as the average price for a cocktail, the number of nightlife options, and the city's weather and walkability.
All key indicators were placed into three categories: economics, fun and recreation, and dating opportunities.
The Bayou city ranked number 20 in the 'Fun & Recreation' category and number 63 in 'Dating Opportunities'.
