A new study shows singles in Kentucky have lesser odds of finding a romantic partner compared to most states.

Online financial resource WalletHub released rankings of the best and worst states for singles, and Kentucky is ranked 46.

The study factors in 27 indicators of "dating-friendliness" to compile its rankings. Factors include dating opportunities, economics along with romance and fun.

Kentucky finished in the bottom five mostly because the study indicated that the Commonwealth ranks near the bottom in dating opportunities, which accounted for half of the methodology.

The only states with lower rankings are Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia and Arkansas.

California was ranked the top state followed by Florida, New York, Texas and Pennsylvania.

The good news for Lexington singles is WalletHub ranked the city 55 out of 182 major cities in the same metric. The same list ranked Louisville 101.
