NEW YORK, March 31 (Reuters Life!) - Chicago has come top of a global list of 29 cities where men would most like to live, boosted by Barack Obama's presidential victory.
The inaugural list by men's website AskMen.com put Chicago on top when comparing eight rating categories -- 2009 livability, sports and entertainment, culture, fashion, sex and dating, health, power and money and the good life.
"Chicago in recent years has really emerged as a favorite city among men due to its good neighborhood scene, a beautiful lake and backdrop, and the balance between fine arts and sport," said AskMen.com's editor-in-chief James Bassil.
Bassil said the recession may have had a negative impact on some of the cities on the list, such as London, New York and Paris, but they were still among the favored cities, coming fourth, sixth and tenth respectively.
Barcelona took second place in the list having always been high in the popularity stakes due its food and beaches while San Francisco came third, praised for its vibrant restaurant scene, arts festivals and continuing urban development.
"But then you see dark horses like Santiago and Panama City in the list too as there the cost of living is low and there is cool development and suddenly they are appropriate places to live in 2009," said Bassil.
Rounding out the top 10 were Sydney, Berlin, Hong Kong, and Copenhagen
