A study says "romance is dead in Richmond" due to windy Februarys

Zoom in: High February winds that could throw Cupid off his path, too few day cares (because Cupid is baby 🤷🏻‍♀️) and a low percentage of single people (26.6%) are among the reasons Richmond is a terrible town for Cupid to hit his mark, per the study.

• 😢 Richmond also ranked low for the number of candy stores and archery ranges per capita.

Why it matters: Trying to survive windy Februarys is bad enough, the least the universe could do is blow an acceptable suitor into our paths.

Yes, but: If you're determined to meet someone, take a roadtrip. The questionable study found Virginia Beach has the third highest percentage of singles in the nation ( 45.3%!).
