According to Apartment List, San Diego's lacking singles population and low satisfaction rate with dating here don't make it an inviting city for singles. The price of dating in California is also abysmal.
But social lives are thriving.

Heading up the bottom of the list was a handful of California cities: San Bernardino, Calif.; Bakersfield, Calif.; Anaheim, Calif.; Fayetteville, N.C.; and lastly Stockton, Calif.
