Whether it be because of your sexual orientation, your race, religion, or just in general, what's the worst city to date in(besides wherever I am)? Any interesting stories of bad dates or anything in that nature is welcomed too.

San Francisco was full of a bunch of cute girl nickles who acted like dimes because the city was full of a bunch of techy geek guys who had no social skills and were easily led on.

It was brutal to see, and I've never seen a city full of more large groups of dudes staring at girls from across the bar than SF. Oakland was decidedly more chill, those girls were down to smoke blunts, play shuffleboard, and fool around.

The best part is that the Bay Area has been a tech hub for so long that people with social skills have learned to code, so now it's even slimmer pickings for the more goony of guys. Hell same goes for jobs; used to be as long as you could do the job, you'd have a job within a week.

Now places have more options, so if you don't shower or insist on wearing ill-fitting jeans you're way more S.O.L than you used to be, because you don't fit in with the companies culture. (Which actually means you're a big weirdo and people don't want to be around you.)

yes and no. South bay is an awful sausage fest (or a lot of the women are more cougar-esque age). East bay past caldecott/Tri-valley is also predominately like people 37-55. SF has also gotten a bit of a sausage fest but Oakland (& Berkeley but it's more student-y crowd) still has a lot of cool 20-30 single chicks (or guys if that's your thing) who're relatively down to earth and easy, without a lot of typical bay-bullshit. below is correct:

Oakland has always been better than sf, even pre techie invasion.

True, although I think about how cultish and arbitrary tech culture can be and I don't feel sympathy for anyone there. I'm grateful that they export internet poo poo or whatever though. That stuff is p. nifty.

Yea, whenever I was lonely I'd head to Oakland bars and talk to girls. It's crazy how much more willing they were to go out on a date than SF girls; it was like Oakland girls were more "Hmm I wonder what this guys about!", while SF girls were like "No way will this guy be worth dating."

The gender ratio in downtown SF is super hosed up, which is the actual cause of the dating scene being a bit lovely rather than there being something unique to SF women. If you go to grab a drink after work, the male:female will generally be around 4:1. It's goofy as gently caress

A lot of that is rent is crazy and you could get into a whole discussion about women in stem but basically they don't work the high-paying fields (maybe at best they'll be a receptionist/hr/"marketing" at airbnb or something). Baristas, artists, waitresses or whateve can't possible afford it, so usually they live in like Oakland/Berkeley or something instead. If they do live in SF, it's usually because they're living with a significant other splitting rent already and not single. A lot of women in SF actually just come from east bay anyways

The rent is so psychotically high in SF that it barely warrants mention as a social ill because everybody already knows its hosed and ruins everything

Tech seriously hosed SF up; I remember having waiter and cook friends who would get coked to the gills after work and hammer on my doorbell until I woke up to drink with them at 3am. They had a sketchy loft held together with plywood, located in a sketchy area, and usually filled with random sketchy people.

You don't get that level of seedy from the rent-payers anymore, and that's a legit shame and part of the reason I left.
