"Hey, when someone asks you why you&amp;amp;#8217;re still single, a good answer is: &amp;amp;#8220;Because I&amp;amp;#8217;m still saving for a plane ticket to Spain.&amp;amp;#8221; Let me explain&amp;amp;#133; &amp;amp;#8221;Well hello, boys!&amp;amp;#8221; A Spanish dating association is trying to save the dwindling populations of small towns by literally bussing in single women. That&amp;amp;#8217;s right gals, for all your (OK, my) complaining about how there are no good single guys left, small towns in Spain are basically swimming with single guys without potential brides. The group has been around since 1995, but according to a recent AP article posted on msnbc.com, the current financial crisis and the appeal of city jobs has made it even more important to try to entice women to repopulate the small towns. This weekend, the 6,000-person town of Candeleda hosted a party for 68 women to meet the village&amp;amp;#8217;s single gentlemen. Apparently this whole idea was inspired by a 1951 film, Westward the Women, which told the story of how organized trains of women were sent via wagon in pioneering days to populate the American West. I was not aware of this because I always died of dysentery during the Oregon Trail. Should I go? I don&amp;amp;#8217;t speak any Spanish but I do like tapas a lot. Oh, who am I kidding? We all know I just wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t that into the small-town dating scene. But best of luck to the men and women of Spain. It would be so sad if these beautiful villages were abandoned because people couldn&amp;#x27;t find love. Would you give up the city life for love in the country, or vice versa? Do you know any places more locally that need single ladies this badly? If so, please tell. Considering traveling for love?
