Melbourne Second Best City...........
Melbourne has been rated as the second best city for men to live in, outranked only by New York. The poll, by men's website Askmen.com ranked 29 cities across the globe based on how good they were for men to live, work and play. This was based on factors such as the amount of annual leave, the ratio of men to women and the number of new restaurant openings. Despite being battered by the global economic crisis, New York took the top spot, with Melbourne, coming in at No. 2. Tokyo was ranked third and Madrid and London rounded off the top five. Sydney fell from fifth spot in last year's survey to ninth. "We're positioning the best cities that you can live in say, for a year, somewhere exotic, with cultural options, and job opportunities as well, and also entertainment as a man, which includes clubs and fresh air options," James Bassil, the Askmen.com's editor-in-chief, told Reuters. Newcomers to this year's list included Las Vegas, at number 29, which Bassil said was a surprise given the city had been hard hit by 2008's economic turmoil. Other "surprises" were Bogota, Colombia - "it's not always been seen as the safest place," Bassil said - and Shanghai in China, which is due to host the World Expo this year. The website ranked the cities on seven factors: weather, cost of living, professional life, dating, night on the town, day on the town and this year's newcomer, the fresh air factor. It used data from the United Nations and global consultancy Mercer, among others. Following is this year's list of top 29 cities for men: 1. New York City 2. Melbourne 3. Tokyo 4. Madrid 5. London 6. Cape Town 7. Miami 8. Buenos Aires 9. Sydney 10. San Francisco 11. Paris 12. Los Angeles 13. Hong Kong 14. Tel Aviv 15. Barcelona 16. Sao Paulo 17. Berlin 18. Lisbon 19. Beirut 20. Istanbul 21. Shanghai 22. Montreal 23. Amsterdam 24. Chicago 25. Toronto 26. Kyoto 27. Bogota 28. Rome 29. Las Vegas |

Re: Melbourne Second Best City...........
What a load of old drivel. And WTF is the 'fresh air factor'.
BE is slowly falling into a statistical quagmire (or so say 21% of people who could be arsed to say anything at all.) Lies, damn lies and statistics. Couldn't be truer. |

Um, no it's showing cities with high populations of single women and gay men - doesn't it make sense to move to such a place if you are a red blooded young man?
