Even Carrie Bradshaw of "Sex and the City" couldn't come up witha concept like this: a map that can help simplify your search for a mate -- a really wealthy one that is.

The so-called 'Man Map" was created byPropertyShark.com by converting itsreal estate data on commercial and residential properties into onlinedating, networking tools.

The New York City-based company said it has mapped somemajor U.S. city neighborhoods based on the density of available singles. Themap also adds in the wealth factor, showing dollar signs for whether the men or women in those spots havea lot of money or just average.

But oneproblem with the "Man Map" is thatthe PropertyShark tool doesn't account for age, and the map doesn't keep track of sexual orientation.

So, single ladies out therewill have to fend for themselves to determine which pools of single men are actually available to them - and then go out and find them.
