The scribes at Men's Health magazine just released a list of America's hottest and most-active cities — we're not talking temperatures here — and Texas locales captured seven of the top 15 spots.Austin at #1 is no surprise. I lived in Austin for almost 10 years, many of them single, and I still smile when I think about it.
In a racy press release trumpeting "America's hotbeds of sex," Austin came in No. 1 and was dubbed the "capital of copulation."
Dallas — Dallas? — came in No. 2.; Arlington was No. 7; Houston, No. 10; Lubbock, No. 11; Fort Worth, No. 12; and San Antonio, No. 15.
Dallas as #2? The saying I always heard was "Dallas for culture - Fort Worth for fun." I've spent a little time in both places, and that sure seems accurate to me. So I'd switch Fort Worth and Dallas on the list.
Arlington placing 7th seems iffy. Must be the Dallas Cowboy influence.
I lived in Houston for around 15 years, most of them married (one happily, one not so happily). Based on the interim years between the two wives, #10 is about right.
I had a good friend who lived in Lubbock, whom I visited often. I also dated a girl from Snyder and another from Post (small towns somewhat near Lubbock). Based on those experiences I'd rate Lubbock higher - much higher. Cowgirls in tight jeans ... (*fond sighs of remembrance*)
I grew up in and around San Antonio, and moved back there about 10 years ago. I can't argue with its position at #15.
So there you have it. A native's guide to Texas hotspots. Go forth and prosper...

Agree that Cowtown and Dallas should be switched.
Arlington ranking #7 isn't the Cowboys influence, I'd say it is their purchasing power.
