It's shocking to me how few women there are in SF. The east coast is crawling with good looking, single young women. Most of them are really nice normal women with family oriented goals.
Then NYC is full of wild girls that like to dress up, go out and have fun. LA is great in this regard too.
Sure there are plenty of women in SF, but a good share of them are alt, hipster, vegan, etc. Nice enough still, but then the concentration of fairly well off guys really messes up the dating pool. Every time I go to a concert, it's mostly dudes and what women are there are literally held onto by a man.
Then there are no no party girls anywhere, outside of a couple neighborhoods.
SF still is really fun, just a lot tougher to get laid.
- ww520 16y agoThere are plenty of men in SF if that suits you.
- kingkawn 16y agowhy would people vote this comment down?
- SkyMarshal 16y agoB/c the OP just finished writing several paragraphs about women. Getting laid with men obviously doesn't 'suit' him, so the comment was a bit misdirected. Generally it's correct, but sounds a bit snarky when directed at someone who is clearly hetero.
- kingkawn 16y agoCommenter is pointing out something highly relevant about San Francisco, and more importantly the article says, "In short, New York City is more interesting and—I believe—better suited for the startup and a young guy’s lifestyle." Young guy does not just mean heterosexual. If you're talking about best possible choices for founding a company, for gay men what he's complaining about would not be an issue.
- pkchen 16y agoLots of hot, young girls in NYC ... but if you're running a startup, goooood luck. Tell them you work at a hedge fund instead, then maybe you'll get laid.
- noname123 16y agoSeconded. All I have to do in the clubs is tell them that I work in Murders & Execution and next thing you know, I'm hailing a cab with my new catch in-tow.
- 32ftpersecond 16y ago... I have to go return some video-tapes.
- SilianRail 16y agoActually girls in NYC are attracted to success and most women here are very impressed by "I started my own company in NYC". Although this is where your ability to "massage" the truth comes into play.
- bia 16y agoPretend for a second that you realize that girls read HN too. If you massage the truth about your company, it's inconceivable that I would sleep with you, let alone take you seriously.
- noname123 16y agoI really appreciate the honesty here. But what are you exactly conceding to: that you'll only sleep with me if I truly earn above a pre-determined salary figure (because apparently women appreciates honesty), or that you'll still sleep with me if I come clean and tell you that I'm a just average normal thousandaire (because apparently women appreciates honesty).
