Not white and not in tech, but from my own observations I'd say that most guys in tech, especially white guys, actually do better in SF/ the Bay Area / Silicon Valley than in NYC when it comes do dating. The male-female ratio in NYC is also not as good as people think; once you drill down to the 20-40 year old age group, there's actually more men than women in NYC. NYC being a dating paradise for men is a misconception that was spread by that Jonathan Soma singles map that went viral over 10 years ago.

I've noticed guys in tech do better in the Bay Area than in places like NYC because 1) the competition is generally weaker, and 2) they can actually connect on a meaningful level with the women they meet. Your average guy in tech is not going to get along with the typical high-maintenance, pop culture obsessed. SEC sorority girl transplant or Italian/Jewish-American princess from Long Island. Every tech guy I've met who's moved from the Bay Area or Seattle to NYC in hopes of improving their dating life has regretted it after a few months or even years of futility.
