Is NYC dating scene better than Bay Area for Indians?

I’m an Indian in his early 30s. I work for FANG. Is NYC dating scene better than Bay Area for someone like me? I’m considering moving there just to improve my odds of dating. I don’t mind dating women with different ethnicity. Please share your experience.

^ I think that's the problem why you can't find dates 🤣

There is no fixed pattern. Luck!!

NYC has far more diverse people from different backgrounds. So yes, your odds are probably higher.

Haha... will work for the short run but not a good recipe if you want some mindful partner with whom start a family

@OP is dating scene ‘that bad’ in the Bay — that you’re thinking if moving?

IBM dryorange OP Feb 4, 2019

Yes

I think people just aren't making the effort.

You can find people here coming in from all ethnicities and various industries. There are lot of meetups / parties and fairly active people on the dating apps as well. There is a decent amount of Indian population in NY/NJ as well. But again, in the end it depends on you.

Is it possible for a tall (5’ 11”) and fit Indian guy to date white woman or do white women stick to white men only in NYC?

Indeed tookerjerb Feb 4, 2019

Women, regardless of skin color, will date anyone they find attractive/interesting. Including Indians. Make yourself attractive and interesting and you will connect with girls who have common interests with you. P.S. Why are Indians so insecure about their ethnicity?

Simple - There are close to 9 million people in NYC, half of which are female. On the other hand, San Francisco has a population of about 900K. Doesn’t take a genius to realize that your odds of getting laid in NYC are increased tenfold just by being there.

Squarespace houstonit Feb 4, 2019

Really? Wouldn't there therefore be 10x as many other guys looking to get laid as well? (Full disclosure: yes it was a lot easier to get laid in NYC.)

I would hope that working in tech and making a six figure salary would give you a significant advantage. One can only hope that OP has somewhat of a personality. If he’s a 400 lbs computer game addict, no place will help.

Mate, you’re a person regardless of what ethnicity you are. When you really start seeing yourself that way, you’ll meet women. Either in the bay or NYC. Having said that, hard to argue with the simple statistic that in NYC your sample size is going to be much larger.

I would say yes because in Bay Area you have to compete with 100 other Indians.

Bloomberg HechOneBee Feb 4, 2019

and in NYC it'll be 1000 other Indians 🤣🤣

Dropbox 100k🔗🐼 Feb 4, 2019

Yeah but it won’t just be Indians so you actually look interesting compared to everyone else out there.
