ok, maybe should I have clarified: most people (women too), in SF just dress like they just rolled out of bed. (exception, those that work for financial companies downtown SF). It is part of the culture around here. Comfortable but not visually appealing. And yes, you can be smart and dress cute at the same time. But at the end it boil down to numbers. I was browsing around linked in the profile of some of the area companies, (now linked in has basic stats for all companies), and everwyere the ratio was ranging from 70% male, 30% female, to 80%/20% male female ratio. So, if you are girl in the valley, you don't have to do much to get attention. In NYC, it is the oposite, lot's of girls in the city, hence more competition, so they have to try harder to get attention. That's why you have Sex and the City, Lipstick Jungle, 30 Rock, shows, all revolving around 30+ yo females that can't find a man good enough for them. So, that party just looked like the average tech party around here. (the worst are the digg parties).
