Will you get stood up in your city?By Chiara Atik for HowAboutWe

New Yorkers may be cold, abrasive snobs, but at least, at least, they are half as likely to stand someone up on a first date than the heartless flakes that reside in Los Angeles. According to a new iPhone app called “Let’s Date,” which surveys daters within the first 15 minutes of the date, Los Angelenos get stood up 10% of the time, a little over 5% more than the rest of the country. (Let’s pause here to note that if there’s anyone who deserves to be stood up, and there isn’t, but if there were, it would definitely be the guy or the girl who stops to take a survey on their phone to rate their date 15 minutes in.

So, all of this corroborates a theory I’ve been quite certain of for a long time:
