Geelong got surveyed as having the happiest singles, and we’re confused

Before you turn your nose and question your life as a single in Geelong for the past several years of your life, bear with us.

Following on from the UN’s World Happiness Report (of which Australia came 9th), EliteSingles conducted a survey to discover where Australia’s happiest singles are. And as it turns out, they’re all in Geelong. Somewhere.

The ranking turned out as below:
1. Geelong (VIC)
2. Sunshine Coast (QLD)
3. Ballarat (VIC)
4. Toowoomba (QLD)
5. Gold Coast (QLD)
6. Mandurah (WA)
7. Darwin (NT)
8. Cairns (QLD)
9. Port Macquarie (NSW)
10. Brisbane (QLD)

The results were based off anonymous data collected from 14,700 Australians registered with EliteSingles, particularly focusing on how happy they rated themselves.

So either all of us singles in Geelong (with a population nearing 250,000, there’s a lot of singles in there) are lying about our joy, or surprisingly, we are actually pretty content with our Tinder experiences.

Our regional neighbour Ballarat also got a mention, so there’s clearly something happening in the regional Victorian waters…

This all got a mention in Cosmo magazine as well. Geelong is on the up people.
