this is complete nonsense, SF is full of very beautiful women. After living here for many years, I'd respectfully disagree with this.

The neighborhoods with the highest density (scientifically studied over a lifetime) are The Lower Haight and The Mission.

I lived in SF for years and think you're nuts. Completely nuts! The Lower Haight!?!?! The only explanation I have is that you've contracted the dating version of Stockholm Syndrome. Where are the beautiful women hanging out in the Lower Haight? Noc Noc? Peacock Lounge? What's your idea of beautiful? Janene Garafalo?

The Lower Haight was the one neighborhood I could count on where I'd go into a bar and there would be literally no women. Even worse odds than the Castro or the tranny parts of the Tenderloin. Try it - go to Toronado any night of the week and count the number of women.

Anyway, the best place to meet women is Union Square during lunch hour during the week. The people there are generally employed, take reasonable care of themselves, and aren't trying to live out some lame grungy hipster fantasy life straight out of 1993...

I met my wife at the Noc Noc, and she doesn't look like Janene Garafalo (not that there's anything wrong with that), but your anecdotal mileage may, of course, vary.

The Toronado is for beer. You go there to partake of their positively astoundingly amazing on-tap selection, not pick up women.

I see -- you were just in the wrong city! If you wanted post-sorority "generally employed" women, you really shouldn't have moved to San Francisco. You certainly shouldn't have been surprised that this restricted your options to department store neighborhoods and office commuter destinations.

I'd suggest a location such as such as LA or Manhattan, which are probably more socially amenable to your cultural presumptions.

I agree. If your cultural presumptions lean toward beautiful, well-kempt women, LA or Manhattan (as well as any number of other cities) are infinitely better than SF.

You are right - I moved to Manhattan.

Anyone have a reference of a study on using secondary social indicators to estimate an individuals likely behavior, prejudices, socio-economic history and current status, etc?

I didn't get Stuff White People Like. It seems to be Stuff Yuppies and Hipsters Like.

[pavel_lishin]

The article didn't say there aren't any women. It just said they're not interested in us.

[kqr2]

I notice a lot of good looking women in shopping centers and malls, however, that isn't necessarily representative of the entire population.

Please specify which other cities you are comparing this to.

[jimboyoungblood]

I would guess he is comparing to Mountain View or Sunnyvale.
