Seeing all kinds of posts from people making 300k+ and depressed because their friends make more. Sounds like the typical Bay Area / Seattle experience from what I’ve heard from my friends. I’d imagine it’s like this website but irl and in your face 24/7. You guys need to go move to another city, literally any other city, and try talking to a woman or two. This is ridiculous. Why would anyone want to live in a city where your social circle is confined to engineers who are boring as hell and May or may not be on the spectrum. Nobody goes out and half of the people don’t drink. Everything closes early. LAME! TC 315 YOE 3…MCOL :)
Bayarea has the best weather.
Probably shouldn’t assume what a city is like based on what you hear on Blind
Yeah I can’t get good dates in Seattle or Bay (as a woman). The men in these liberal tech hubs are gross. Just had a date with a 5’10” Indian making 700k show up with a whitehead on his chin. He wasn’t cute to begin with but 0 effort put in! Did you look at yourself in the mirror before you head out? I want quality not quantity at this point. Moving to LA!
Maybe the rest of him was bad too But i feel a pimple is way too critical. And what is he supposed to do about it anyway -- popping leaves a scar. I'm nitpicking but so are you
I’ve popped many white heads on my face, no scar. It was ready to go!
Blind is full of Bigot Neanderthal-mentality conservatives who have to remain closeted in such progressive areas. That is the reason they hate these places.
As a gay man, why wouldn’t I live in SF?
Bay Area is dope, love it here
Engineers on the spectrum are more interesting to talk to than the art school dropout burger flipper in mcol cities.
Yea and in my experience most swe I've met are normal people with actual social skills, not sweaty nerds blind makes them out to be Also +1 on your latter comment, tbh people like us who have $$ should surround ourselves with similar people. I've found hanging out with people who work normal jobs to be difficult because they complain about affording basic stuff when eating out etc
@SoFi, completely agree with the first point, but I respectfully disagree with > people like us who have $$ should surround ourselves with similar people This is how bubbles are formed, and one of the many social issues with the bay.
valid question 🍿
I live in Seattle and my friend group is extremely diverse. Only two of us are in tech. You realize that there are other people in SF and Seattle? It's not just engineers.
Wish this were more true. Honestly the worst thing about, for example SF vs LA is that SF is like 60% tech workers and just WAY less diverse in reality.
60% tech workers? Bollocks!! Your friendship group is what you make it. If you're only hanging out with techies or going to tech events the only people you will meet will be techies. Branch out, go see some plays, get some hobbies unrelated to your job to meet a range of people.
Folks from the Bay Area who I’ve spoken to irl seem to love it there. It’s just blind being salty af about it
You realize Blind represents the people that live there
Not really. A lot of people who have moved away continue to make salty posts about SF for some reason. Blind is pretty distributed and skews negative independent of location
