Ladies, How Well Do You Actually Know Men?
A few weeks ago, we asked all you fine ladies to answer some questions about how you think men’s brains are working when it comes to dating, and the results are in! Take a look at what we found out; some of the results might even shock you. It turns out that guys are way more nervous about having something to talk about than what you look like on a first date, and a sense of humor is by far the most important quality in a partner to both men and women. Do you think you’re a dating pro? A man-mindreader? Check out what other ladies thought about these common first date signals below and see how you stack up against what the guys actually said, then let us know what you think!

Top 10 Fashion Brands Among Singles & "Hot Singles"
It’s the holiday season, and you know what that means! Holiday shopping time!
Still don’t know what to get your single friends for the holidays?
A new social online dating company Coffee Meets Bagel analyzed 300,000+ of their match data & user profiles (facebook LIKES) to discern what fashion brands are singles’ favorites, and more interestingly, what fashion brands are favored among “hot” singles.
Among single women, J. Crew topped the fav fashion brand, while Banana Republic was top of the list among single men.
And the hottest brands among the “hottest singles”? For women, Urban Outfitters fans were 29% more likely to be LIKED by her matches than the average woman. Among men, Bonobos fans were 34% more likely to be LIKED by his matches than the average man! (I knew there was a good reason why I couldn’t resist going into Urban Outfitters whenever I passed their store window!)
Another interesting factoid: Can you guess what’s the only women’s brand that made the top 10 favorite fashion brands list among single men? Yup, you got it – Victoria’s Secretranked #8 among single men’s favorite fashion brands list!
So what are you waiting for? Try giving this snazzy blue-bloods straight pants from Bonobos or the beautiful cape coral rhinestone cuff earring from Urban Outfitters for your single friends this holiday season. It might just transform their love life for 2013.

Dating Statistics: 5 Ways Your City is Affecting Your Single Life
The single life can be hard sometimes — believe me, we know! There are so many things to consider: attraction, intelligence, compatibility, and even that simple spark. As if that doesn’t make it difficult enough, it turns out your geographical location matters too. Sounds crazy, no?
When it comes to finding a date in a big city, is it possible that you’re going against the odds? When it comes to choosing a city to find your match, is there such thing as the “right” city for you? According to the profiles of Coffee Meets Bagel members, the answer to both of those questions is yes.
As you can see, Boston seems like a safe bet overall— they have a good balance between both genders, the most educated picks available, and a good amount of diversity in religion. However, it’s definitely important to note Boston’s lack of ethnic diversity and the fact that NYC and SF offer a multitude of things to do for singles!!
Hope this helped— looks like none of them are 100% ideal, but hey, no city is perfect right?

- 45% of gents & 56% of ladies on CMB are looking for a relationship
- Most of CMB members are open to spontaneous meet ups. Spunky!
- 1 out of 5 ladies would never initiate the first text! And close to 1 out of 3 ladies said they would never follow up with their Bagels first after a date, even if the date was good. Sorry gents – this means more work for you. Ladies – only the courageous shall conquer the most treasured! Maybe we should step it up a bit. It’s okay to initiate first—it’s just a text!!
Happy reading!

Dating Statistics: Attractiveness across the 5 boroughs of New York
We wanted to dedicate this week’s post to something very New York and thought it would be fun to compare some statistics across the 5 boroughs of New York (plus our friendly neighborhood, NJ). Specifically, how does our members’ popularity differ by neighborhood?
Here is what we’ve found (Unfortunately we did not have enough representation from the Bronx and Staten Island so those two were excluded).
Attractiveness score was the highest in Manhattan. This was not surprising, given that Manhattan make up the largest percentage of our member base, and as a Manhattaner myself, crossing the bridge to meet someone for a date is, of course, unthinkable(!). What’s more interesting to me was the attractiveness score within each of the boroughs.
Manhattan: Midtown/Upper Eastside turns out to be the attractive neighborhood within Manhattan. (too bad I live on the west side) Financial District + Harlem turned out the least popular, perhaps due to their remote(?) locations. A question for you: Does it matter where your date lives, as long as they reside within Manhattan? I guess another question is whether people make judgement on others based on their zipcode.
Queens: Sunnyside scored the most popular within Queens. The least popular was…Astoria.
Brooklyn: Fort Greene & Park Slope area scored the highest within Brooklyn. Parts of Williamsburg turned out to be the least popular.
Finally! New Jersey: Surprisingly despite the disadvantage in location, Fort Lee & Engelwood turned out to be quite popular… I hear that there is a large % of Koreans living in Fort Lee. :)
What might be an interesting next step would be to correlate this with other demographic data, such as income or education level by neighborhood to see if there are any relationships. But that’s all for now folks! We would love to hear your comments as always.
Have a great weekend.
New York: Coffee Meets Charity #1!
In the early morning of Sunday, August 19th, when the rest of the city was still quiet asleep, 7 generous CMB gents & 4 kind CMB ladies set off to Harlem for New York’s first Coffee Meets Charity event. Their mission? Help New York City cut energy usage and lower greenhouse emissions by painting a reflective surface to a building roof.
Hours of arduous labor was quickly rewarded with fun conversations, lots of laughs, and a great sense of satisfaction (and for some, also a rekindled sense of responsibility). After a delicious lunch provided by NYC Cool Roofs, the good-hearted CMBers parted their ways, promising to connect again before the end of the month at CMB’s Summer Rooftop Party.
Thanks everyone for making this such an amazing event!
