There are not enough women, and the women who are there do not like you. If you are married or don't care about dating, it's a great place. Have you ever heard of Okcupid?
The city, and the surrounding bay area are full of available women, who do want to meet "you" If you grew up here, then it might be easier as you have a larger network of friends, acquaintances - that generally leads to more social events, etc.. Also - last time i checked, we have about an equal ratio of men to women does not include sexual orientation.
Ah yes, OKCupid. Here is my take on OKCupid. In SF, the real life singles scene is dominated by men. If you go to an event or a bar, there is a lopsided ratio of men to women.
The women who are out, are typically insane. The cool women you want to meet are actually on OKCupid because they are tired of being surrounded by dirtbags and nerds and insane women. So OkCupid works well for a man dating in SF, because that's where the normal, interesting, good-looking women are. In NYC the scene is the opposite. The bars and events are overrun with attractive women. The weird trolls are the ones hanging out on OKC.
Thus, if you move across country to NYC and update your OKC location, you'll start getting tons of messages from tattooed roller-derby girls who have pet snakes.
