How is the social scene if you are a male software engineer coming from the bay area? Blind says the dating scene is better because of the m/f ratio. Any info on adjusting would be appreciated too
If you grow beard and shave everywhere else, you would be treated well. Scene will get flooded with dates ,dinners and few #youtoo stories few years later. I would chuckle if I read 'the guy left me with beard rashes that night after I said yes and change d my mind in the morning'.

NY has many industries, tech is just one of them. NY is extremely diverse esp if you peek out of Manhattan. I never lived in Bay Area however I visited multiple times and found it to be boring and disappointing.
It is boring and disappointing. I considering moving to Seattle but then all the tech bros started moving there too
Exactly. NYC is very diverse. Grew up there and now am in the Bay Area. Tech is just a single vertical in NYC and entitled tech bros would get swallowed up there quick.
I’m sorry, but this question is just profoundly stupid. You’re asking for the social scene of young people in New York fucking City?! It’s good man...plenty to do in NEW YORK CITY!

I'm a native born and raised but far out on the outskirts. NYC is more diverse in careers and also activities to do and even the boroughs themselves are totally an exploration game. You can find a lot of things you never even knew was a thing without busting your face to discover them. Manhattan too is pretty different and a total discovery per neighborhood (especially when you go beyond a few blocks like most folks seem to restrict themselves to). I tend to have a lot of serendipitous moments and connections. A lot of opportunities I had there in my career especially at my age doesn't seem to be a thing here. It's very wild. Work-wise I've found that there's a lot of hustle as in you can find yourself (or meet people) who are famous but not rich, holding themselves up by a ton of gigs. Also depending on where you live in the Bay Area, NYC is more interactive in terms of people. Connections matter more in NYC and are easy to obtain while I think chops matter in the Bay Area and people seem to guard their time more, imo. Dating for a guy should be easier because yeah, male to female ratio, but also there's more career diversity. I think that matters. Tech isn't as strong or prominent worse for hardware unless you want to go to Long Island or NJ, though good companies do have NYC branches. Also, easy access to other nearby states/east coast via public transit. Like taking an Amtrak to Florida with your car is a thing. Easy and cheap bus rides to Washington DC, things like that.
If anyone wants to grab a drink I’d be down
You might get laid if you pay for Tinder plus. Otherwise not a chance.
