Shanghai rated as one of the most livable cities for men

A poll by a men's Web site called Askmen.com shows that New York has overtaken Chicago as the number one most livable city for men, and Shanghai was also rated as one of the most livable cities for the first time.

Reporters learned that Askmen.com ranked 29 cities across the globe based on how good they are for men to live, work and play. The ranking system took into account factors such as the amount of annual vacation days, the ratio of men to women, the climate, the unemployment rate and the number of new restaurant openings.

New York took the top spot, with Melbourne, Tokyo, Madrid and London coming in second, third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

The editor-in-chief of Askmen.com, James Bassil, told Reuters that they ranked the best cities that a man can live in for a year. These cities include exotic locations with cultural options and job opportunities as well as entertainment, such as clubs and outdoor activities.
