“Singles in these cities are particularly confident that things will work out; they never enter any competition expecting to lose; and when they do lose, they focus on how they can do better next time,” said Dr. Helen Fisher, scientific advisor of Chemistry.com, in a release. “The dopamine system is linked with a sunny personality, and, as I expected, those living in most of these 10 cities are Explorers, men and women who are highly expressive of the traits linked with dopamine. Explorers are natural optimists.”
