Why is dating so hard in the bay area? I had this conversation with a couple of coworkers and they were complaining of the same thing. How do you sort through all the bad eggs to get your prince charming? These beautiful ladies at work have been trying to date successfully for a few months with no luck. I recently moved to the bay area and decided to set up a profile on CMB a few days ago. First message I got was from a guy working at Google who asked if I wanted to hook up that night 😱. Next day, another message from another guy who claimed to be a PM in Google asking if I wanted to hook up. I was super disappointed and a bit traumatized. I expect such attitude from guys at Amazon not Google. I closed the account immediately. It's worse because my team is mostly women and I'm stuck in one spot all day long. And I spend my weekends reading and cuddling my teddy bear all day long. Where are all the gentlemen in the bay area? Dating sites can't work for me. Where do good men hang out? No insults please 🙄🙄. Also don't tell me My TC is the reason why I can't get a boyfriend. F. TC 110k. P.S I don't in anyway think Amazonians are douchebags. It's just a joke.

You say this all the time🙄.
(Female here) Dating is hard in other major cities too...I don’t think it’s about the Bay Area... I think unfortunately this is a common thing...
It was so much easier and better in Dallas.
Oh really? Interesting. I’m a SF native and just moved back after living out of state for 9 years... (In Atlanta for 7 years). Dating in Atlanta was awful haha
You expect such attitude from guys at Amazon and not Google? Yeah, with your attitude you’d get matches like those. And to start with, there are a lot of parameters to consider while dating. How many matches did you get? How many dates have you been on before finally concluding that? Looks like you want to date Googlers and look low at people from other companies. That narrows down your search. So be open minded before judging others. Maybe it is better for nice people not to date shit folks who judges them based on what company they work for.
The Amazon vs Google thing was a joke. Calm down bro😂
How can I look down at people from other company when I work for Cisco? Seriously 🙄
It's incredible if you are a straight Male as you've found. The quantity and quality of awesome women make bay area guys super lazy. Keep searching and you will eventually find the nice guys when they are between relationships. Apologies on behalf of the gender that so many are lazy.
Incredible as a straight male how exactly?
😥😥
Damn that’s tough. Pics?
😂😂.. that's me.
So welcome to the dating game. You’re gonna have to toughen up for starters. A few foul messages shouldn’t scare you away. There are people on these apps for a variety of reasons including hookups and relationships. You can easily delete messages and move to the next. And also to debunk the myth that google men are superior and amazon are dogs - that’s just wrong. People are people regardless of which badge they swipe in the morning. I’m assuming your a new grad so put your ego to the side and handle this like an adult.
I don't think Amazon men are dogs😂. But thanks anyway
Sometimes hooking up is how you find your significant other. Happened to me and several girlfriends.
(Male in a relationship here) Avoid dating apps, try something real for once like meeting people on hikes, biking groups or parks, friends of friends idk. Those apps are like a car dealership. You go in looking at a Shelby and eventually realize that Fusion Hybrid is what actually suits you best. Try the old candid way where people aren't just looking to bang.
I am a gentleman, I would like to hook up with any serious lady, I am currently in San Francisco but I am not based here
Where are you based? Africa?😂🤧

Did you make it apparent you’re looking for something serious on your profile? It doesn’t have to be super direct but it shouldn’t be completely ambiguous. Otherwise horny dudes are going to assume what works for them.
Yes I did. My profile stated I was looking for a relationship. Which was why I was surprised. There were other non sexual messages of course. But I specifically stated on my profile that I was looking to date someone in tech. Unfortunately the only tech guys I got were assholes.
So you stopped after 2 guys? Also shouldn’t the dating market be heavily skewed in favor for female in the Bay Area ?
