Single Complaint

I was just wondering how you chose the hottest singles (“20 Sexy Singles,” February 2006). My friends and I — both guys and women age 35 and younger — were really surprised at who was picked for the magazine layout. And then we saw them all at the Crush Party and we were even less impressed. What are the qualifications to be named one of the hottest singles? It’s obviously not an issue of being super good-looking or having the greatest job. Is that really the best of what Cleveland has to offer? Where are the singles we would actually want to meet? Two of the women were covered in tattoos. Some people like that, but isn’t one tattooed chick enough?
