As others have pointed out, it really depends on your taste in women. If you like the new age/granola crowd you may find it easy to get a date.

However.... just so you know, I used to live in Asheville. Loved it. Loved so many things about it. But finally had to move away for that very reason: I couldn't find anyone to date. Everyone my age was either married, way too hippie for my tastes, or gay. I'm a pretty easy going person, and back then I was in my young 30s and had an easy time dating before I moved there. So finally I decided I had to move back to LA even though I loved Asheville. I couldn't stand the idea of never dating again.

One positive thing about Asheville--when I told my boss why I was moving, he actually tried to help me out. Set me up with a few singles that he knew--I've never had a boss do that before. Unfortunately, none of them appealed even remotely, but it was a sweet gesture.

Other than this one gripe, Asheville was a wonderful place to live. Now that I'm married I often think of returning there. But I'll be honest. That was a long time ago, so maybe things have changed. But I suspect they haven't--if you're single and over the age of 25, it's going to be hard to get a date. After awhile, that can be a deal breaker.
