CHEYENNE is now under coverage.
Local dating, modeled. Every signal in Cheyenne, converted into a tactical roadmap.
Greater Cheyenne is open as a field office. The headline reads:
An estimated 14,000 Greater Cheyenne adults ages 22 to 50 are single.
A market-rate one-bedroom in Cheyenne asks about $1,050 a month, modest for a capital with a tight supply.
The metro runs male-heavy, about 60% men to 40% women among singles.
Median individual income across the metro is about $44,700.
The shape of the market
- Singles, 22 to 50
13,765
- Gender balance
60%
Among Cheyenne couples, about 13% live together unmarried rather than married, roughly in line with the national 13%.
Even the most balanced zone, South Cheyenne, runs about 53% male — this is a male-heavy market top to bottom.
Cheyenne runs about 60% male, sharpest in East Cheyenne (63%) and North Cheyenne (56%).
About 58% of Cheyenne households are couple households — married or living together — well above the national 54%; the rest are people living alone or with roommates.
How dating actually happens
Only about 14% of matches on curated apps like Hinge turn into a first date.
Roughly 1 in 10 partnered adults met their partner online, and the share climbs sharply for younger and LGB couples.
One in four matches never gets a reply.
53% of online daters say their overall experience has been positive.
The figures above are national benchmarks. In Cheyenne, date-spot density is thickest in East Cheyenne, North Cheyenne, and South Cheyenne — the most reliable neighborhoods to take the dating offline.
Dating safety in Cheyenne
78% of active dating-app users report burnout: 80% of women (driven by message volume) and 74% of men (driven by a lack of responses).
60% of Americans support requiring a background check before someone can create a dating profile.
An estimated 26% of men have received unsolicited explicit content, far below the rate for women.
56% of women under 50 have been sent unsolicited explicit images while dating online.
48% of online daters have faced at least one form of harassing behavior on a dating platform.
43% of women under 50 say a match kept contacting them after they said no.
52% of online daters say a scammer or bot has contacted them.
63% of men under 50 say a scammer or bot has contacted them, the highest of any group.
11% of women under 50 have been physically threatened on a dating platform.
40% of daters say platforms do a bad job removing fake and bot accounts; only 20% say they do well.
These are national safety benchmarks. The practical local move is the same everywhere — meet first in a busy, public place; in Cheyenne the highest-traffic date districts are East Cheyenne, North Cheyenne, and South Cheyenne.
The LGBTQ+ landscape
53% of LGB adults have used a dating app, far more than straight adults.
About 24% of LGB couples met online, roughly three times the straight rate.
About 70% of LGB adults under 30 have used a dating app, the highest-adoption cohort anywhere.
7.6% of U.S. adults now identify as LGBTQ+, up from 3.5% in 2012.
22.3% of adults aged 18 to 34 identify as LGBTQ+.
Political alignment
24% of Americans say they could never date someone who disagrees with them on abortion.
Only about 15% register Democratic and 12% Unaffiliated, so in the nation’s reddest state, cross-aisle dating is a genuine numbers problem.
Wyoming registers voters by party, and Laramie County (Cheyenne) is overwhelmingly Republican — about 72% of registered voters, the most Republican market we cover, with Democrats at just 15%.
47% of single daters would not seriously date a Trump voter; among Democratic women that rises to 79%.
69% of Americans would not date someone who is unemployed, rising to 81% of women.
