The results are in! According to Match.com, San Diego singles are not turned on by money, hit the gym more than 5 times a week and would rather help a friend than save the planet.
San Diego is full of bright and beautiful men and women, and yes, many of them are still single! Match.com recently surveyed San Diego members about a wide variety of dating topics and the stats are very interesting, to say the least. We are obsessed with fitness and are more turned on by tattoos and thunderstorms than money. That is just awesome.
From how we feel about the economic crisis to how we rate our bodies and what we really think about charitable acts, get to know our San Diego singles.
Gold-Diggers Need Not Apply: Despite the current economic crisis, Match members actually view money as the smallest turn-on. Considering California's 12.1 percent unemployment rate (as of August), this is great news! It seems that money isn’t the way to people’s hearts – in fact, sarcasm, tattoos and thunderstorms are bigger turn-ons that money.
San Diego: only 2.77% are turned on by money
LA: only 2.99% are turned on by money
San Francisco: only 2.35% are turned on by money
Miami: only 3.15% are turned on by money
