Avoid These Mexican Dating Deserts If You Value Your Sanity (And Your Liver)

Dating in Mexico is like driving a supercar on a pothole-ridden dirt road. Exciting potential, but you're probably going to crash.

But, and this is a big but, like a poorly maintained pothole on the Carretera Federal, there are some cities that are, frankly, absolute dating disaster zones.
