These cities have the most tops and bottoms

One of the most heartbreaking aspects of gay culture is that two men can want to bone but still be forced to pass up the opportunity. Sure, technically, foreplay is always possible, but sometimes nothing less than good ol’ penetration will do. 

We’re talking about topping and bottoming.

Contrary to popular belief, there are certain things many gay men won’t do to get laid. For example, they might avoid taking the train from Bushwick into Manhattan during rush hour. Or walk more than 10 blocks. More commonly, a dominant top and a submissive bottom aren’t going to step outside their comfort zones. Call it biology or destiny.

In a perfect world, all gay men would be versatile. But read the news, kids—we’re living in a dystopia so extreme it’s comedic! Naturally, finding sexually compatible partners takes patience. It often involves sending nudes and asking, “What are you into?” multiple times until you hit the bullseye.

However, finding sex on vacation manifests like a race against the clock. Suddenly, if you’re a bottom, it can feel like an asteroid has wiped out all the tops, and vice versa. Thankfully, if you’re open to exploring new locations, Archer, the dating app for gay men, by gay men, has done some research to ensure a grid that is more appealing to your preferences. 

The show-your-face dating app pinpointed the ten best cities for tops and bottoms, naturally highlighting the destinations with the most suitable matches. 

Without further ado, the cities with the most bottoms: 

1. Kansas City 
2. Charlotte 
3. Riverside 
4. Minneapolis
5. Indianapolis
6. Columbus 
7. Detroit 
8. Houston
9. Seattle
10. Baltimore

And now, another *horny drum roll*, cities with the most tops:

1. Denver
2. Tampa
3. Miami
4. San Francisco
5. Atlanta
6. San Diego
7. Las Vegas
8. Chicago 
9. Washington D.C. 
10. Austin 

We know—riveting… groundbreaking, etc.! Most of all, unexpected. Where the hell are New York or Los Angeles?

It’s important to note that Archer ranked the cities based on the highest percentage of its app users. Anyway, pertaining to their scientific findings, here are a few notes that So.Gay must acknowledge.

Is it just us or do the lists look flipped? Southern and midwestern states are typically associated with more toxic masculinity than liberal havens like Miami, San Francisco, and Chicago, and yet they have more guys waiting face down, ass up. The men in Kansas City are absolutely starving for D, and we’re not talking about Dorothy. 

We had to Google “Riverside” and apparently, it’s a place in California known for its citrus industry.

In regards to cities with the most tops, Denver having the most makes sense. Hurray for hot mountain men. Miami probably has the most tops who end up wanting to bottom (or lie about their size).

Of course, you need not worry about having no shortage of bottoms or tops if you’re vers. But if you only want to play with other verse guys, some cities are better than others. 

Archer exclusively revealed to So.Gay the lands of vers are as follows: 

1. Detroit
2. Portland
3. Cincinnati
4. Denver
5. San Francisco
6. Las Vegas
7. Charlotte
8. Columbus
9. Baltimore
10. Nashville

It’s time to book those plane tickets and do with these findings as you please (or who you please?). May the swipes be ever in your favor.
