The list is based on:

The findings are based on sales of romance novels and movies, relationship books, and jewelry and "sexual wellness" products.
I'm not sure how that makes a city romantic other than the sexual wellness products. Novels and books seem to indicate a lack of romance and jewlery seems to indicate men who are trying to make up for something so they no longer have to sleep on the couch.

To me a romantic city is somewhere you would go for a honeymoon. Victoria makes the list as would Niagara Falls and Quebec City.

Those include devices for self-pleasuring.

This just goes to show Big Data analytics can be used for whatever narrative you want. They won't be right, but hey! Clicks!

Fair point, but would also include devices for couples with healthy sex lives that like to experiment.

I was just pointing out that just because people purchase those items, it doesn't have any bearing on how romantic they are. It's like saying people who buy pots are good cooks. They may be, or they may be only be able to make Kraft Dinner, the wrong way.

Wait a minute, what kind of a romance novel would be written about Victoria.

I laid her down on the bed after lowing the safety rail and lifted up her shapeless dress and admired her granny panties. I couldn't believe that she was so hot for 70

Nah. That's old Victoria.

New Victoria is more like: "The tattered wind torn tent was ready. Placed haphazardly in the park downtown alongside the others, at the edge of the treeline near the Court House - Phil was ready to make his move. High on meth, but smelling like ripe blue cheese, it would be difficult for the young bag lady to resist his manly charms."

On a similar tangent, if you've ever scrolled thru "New Releases" on a Kindle, you'll notice a large proportion of the books are romances, and not just generically titled ones, but ones with specifically targeted titles like "Bad Boy Billionaire Romance" or "Baby Fever Bride" or "BBW Shifter Love" (I kid you not. Zaftig ladies with furry fetishes are a demographic, apparently).

It's grimly fascinating in its way. I guess if books like that are any guide to "romance", I could see Red Deer being a hotbed of weird backwoods kink envied worldwide.

If this list came from Sun Media it would make sense. But CBC?

Yes, but we're all keenly aware of your idea of 'Romance.'

Not everyone has a well in their basement.

If those teenagers stopped being so sexy, I wouldn't have to keep putting them down there.

That and the ever so lucrative A&W 'Teen Sauce' contracts.

It came from Amazon. CBC is just "reporting" it because corporate press releases count as news now.
