So yeah, Valentine's Day is around the corner, but big whoop, this is New York City, romance runs through our sewers practically— we've got romantic bridges, we fall in love with our doormen, hell, there's a whole genre of movies about falling in love in NYC (or with NYC). But according to the scientists at Daily Beast, you're more likely to find love in Omaha, NE or Newark, NJ than here! It doesnt help that their rating system doesn't make much sense—We get an A for "marriage," but a D for "divorce?" Thankfully, the Post is on top of the situation; they point NYers to love guru Dr. Paul Dobransky, who "charges up to $500 an hour for a personal session," and gives some particularly creepy tips to help men read women's "attraction signals," like a relaxed jaw and tilted head: "She's saying, 'I'm exposing my most vulnerable area. I'm trusting you with my safety.' "
