After five years in SF I’m fed up with dating here (and the city/tech bubble in general tbh). I’m a 30 y/o guy, make good money, and am a paradoxically social introvert. Is NY really that much better for dating than SF? Why or why not?
Ya not many good looking woman in Seattle
Doesn’t help that the good guys are almost all married, either :p
Haha. Good luck. Nice logic and nice consultations for such a significant life decision
New York Ciry has a great mix of people/professions. I love SF though. Try going to female meet ups like Girl Geek Dinners, tons of great/smart women at those.
Right, cause girls totally go to those dinners to get hit on.
Not to get hit on. To meet new and interesting people that could possibly turn into something else. Guys need to learn how women work. We like a guy before we get in bed with them. We don’t just get “hit on” and we’re in. We need a bit more depth than that.
Nyc, way bigger city, considerably more options
Around 8 million more people and and a better ratio of women to men. So yes.
Not even close. NYC is the best city for single men, bar none. Seattle and SF are the worst: bad ratio, low quality, weird people and culture, far less dynamic social scene.
Women here can be picky, makes it tough going for a generic tech drone trying to set itself apart.
Generic tech drones are the norm in SF... at least in NYC you are unique.
What if someone is a software engineer at an HFT/algo trading hedge fund, are they perceived as a "finance bro" or a "tech guy"?
I was surprised at how many beautiful women I saw in SF when I visited recently. But yeah, it still can't compare to NYC, LA, Chicago. Unreal how horrendous Seattle is.
As a SF -> NYC transplant, I can confirm it is way better for dating here. No contest.
Is it just that the m/f ratio is more favorable for men there or is it something else?
M/f ratio is way more favorable, you're actually fairly unique if you work in tech, bigger variety of women, people aren't stuck up, etc

SF and Seattle are both really bad for dating.
