I haven't found that experience at all. In fact one of the reasons I refuse to move to Man Jose or SF is because I've heard of the famously skewed sex ratio. There is a lot more diversity in Austin, and as a single guy in his late 20's I've had a very healthy dating experience.

I don't doubt SF, etc., is worse. My experience suggests Austin is a step down from where I lived previously.

Perhaps you're more attractive or patient than I am. I also just realized that I forgot to mention that I'm a teetotaler, which seem to be a major turnoff to people here.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you meet single women here?

SF is a sausage fest without a doubt. Fortunately, there's a lot of sausage on sausage action (if that's your thing :-)

I lived in the bay area for ~4 years, lots of dudes, immigrants, and really wealthy people (in addition to a lot of the working poor). Interesting place just not my cup of tea.

Did make Buena Vista inspired Irish Coffees last night though.
