London wins, it's 10 x population. SF has a lot of very impressive, well credentialed guys you're competing with, in a relatively small pool. If you're also "impressive" you might do well, but if you're just another programmer or finance guy, or wannapreneur good luck. I know a lot of girls who have told me how impressive the dating pool is in SF. Throwing PC to the wind: You'll find someone but you'll probably take a downgrade in attractiveness and will have less options overall. That said, there's a ton of really cool people here, probably in greater concentration than any world city.

If you like Asian girls, you are in the right city. From where I'm coming from, NYC is the ultimate city for dating in the US for heterosexual men. Ignore the self-proclaimed PUA guy. They exaggerate because their identities are so tied to it, and they sink an exorbitant amount of time and mindshare, unless they are exceptionally charming/ good looking/ have really good jobs, in which case they shouldn't apply their standards or expectations to others so casually.
