If you can’t score in these Kansas cities, something is seriously wrong with you.
There are a number of party hot spots in Kansas.
For example, Manhattan, Kansas has been called one of the biggest party towns in the nation. And you can see why. It has a large number of college kids, a very young population, and frankly, there’s a huge bar scene.
But is it the best city to score in? The purpose of this post is to use science and data to determine which places are the easiest you could possibly go in Kansas if you wanted to hook up with someone.
After analyzing 29 of the state’s most populous areas (over 10,000 people), we came up with this list as the 10 easiest places to get laid in the state of Kansas:
Are you trying to find love in Kansas?
You might be thinking, ‘Emporia?!’ Why haven’t I gone there before?
Well if you live in Emporia, you’re probably already aware of the pure excitement level, based on the criteria we list below. And if you’re not already regularly hooking up there…well, then there’s nothing we can do about that.
That’s your own personal problem.
Read on below to see how we crunched the numbers and see how the places near you fared. We’ve got the complete list of the most populous cities below so you know where to go and where to avoid on your next road trip. By the way, Topeka came in at number 9.
The hardest place to get lucky in Kansas, according to science? That would be Lansing. More on that later.
In order to rank the chances where you’re most likely to get laid in Kansas, we had to determine what criteria help people hook up. It isn’t a stretch to assume that people will get frisky where there are plenty of young singles, areas where people aren’t married and with kids, and in areas with high lots of adult things to do.
So we found databases across the internet for those criteria, and it spits out the answer. Like magic.
We know we are answering a bar topic with this one, but we still try to be scientific about it. With that in mind, we used the most recent 2012-2016 American Community Survey Census data produced for the state of Kansas.
Can’t really get any better data than that.
We paid particular attention to:
We then gave each city a Change To Get Laid Score.
The higher the score, the better the city is for getting lucky. We also limited our results to cities with populations of over 10,000 people. For Kansas, that meant a total of 29 cities.
