Dating is great. Everybody’s single!

If family is anywhere in tarot cards, I’d recommend moving elsewhere. The majority of SF is 20 years behind their biological prime for the type of relationship they are looking for. Sort of like going to college in your 40s. You think that won’t be you, but, as a man, it’s not your choice. Otherwise, there are a lot of single childless career women in their late 40s and 50s, who will be much more interesting to talk to than anybody in their family years.

I’m in my late 20’s, though that does sound like a nice situation to be in if you’re a single 30-40 something year old. Being in my mid/late thirties and single kind of scares me (mainly because most of my friends/peers will likely be married and have kids); it’s nice to hear there’s a place where you can live a single lifestyle and not feel left out
In case I wasn’t clear, this is a strong recommendation against starting your adult life in SF. Your friends elsewhere will be married with children, own their house, run a nice business, and you’ll be making a pretty good salary but wondering how you were the smart one yet fell 10 years behind in every life outcome.
