San Diego Makes Top Cities for Heartbreak List

Not everyone is celebrating love today. Many people in San Diego are heartbroken, according to recent study released by CreditDonkey. San Diego made the list of the 10 Top Cities for Heartbreak.

Here's what CreditDonkey had to say about San Diego:

Being last on the list is actually a good thing, because it means that there are nine other cities that are more miserable than you, San Diego. With seven dating services in town, there are clearly plenty of people pining for romance again. And, with one of the highest rankings on the Well-Being Index and one of the lowest number of venereal disease cases per 100,000, we think heartbreak is short-lived here.

Did you know? Camp Pendleton, in San Diego, hosts the Heartbreak Ridge Half Marathon every year. Approximately 90% of the course is on off-road trails through the hills of Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base.
