According to a study that looked at how often people used affectionate expressions online, Manila was found to be the "most loving capital city in the world."
The Crossword Solver combed through a sample of geotagged tweets from cities all over the world, looking for mentions of "I love you" and its variations like "love u" and "3 u" as well as heart emojis.

Researchers from Manila discovered that for every 100,000 tweets, 1,246 were expressions of affection. Mexico City came in at number 9, followed by Guatemala City, Guatemala (1,224), Luanda, Angola (1,180), Jakarta (974), and Guatemala City, Guatemala (948).
