If you want to take in some awe-inspiring American monuments, it's tough to do better than D.C. of course, you already know about the Lincoln memorial and the Washington monument, but they aren't the real head-turning sights. No, what you simply must see is the monumental number of eligible women. These are the city's real movers and shakers.

Now, unlike the grid-locked lawmakers in D.C., we didn't draft legislation and let it languish in a subcommittee. Instead, we undertook a nonpartisan examination of the data on datable citizens: the ratio of single women to single men, the percentage of college-educated women, the percentage of gainfully employed single women (all from the Census), and the number who work out (Experian Simmons).

BRIGHTEN UP YOUR BLOCK

Wondering where the single women in your city went? Maybe they're all indoors. No matter how safe an area is, if a woman perceives danger, she'll spend less time running, biking, or walking outside, according to a study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. One way to make your hood hospitable: Add streetlights near bars and restaurants, says Michael Scott, director of the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing. Ask city officials to brighten up dimly lit public spaces.
