As someone who is considering moving to San Francisco, this is terrifying. Please, can a local soothe me with a rebuttal?

Rebuttal: I am a social retard, typical geek, and it was only in San Francisco that I found some success meeting women. There are lots and lots of really interesting, amazing, beautiful women in San Francisco. I dated a bunch of them. A year ago, I returned to the Midwest, and haven't gotten a date since.

"lots of really interesting, amazing, beautiful women in San Francisco"

That was true when I was there. And they tended to like independent rockers with somewhat long hair, day-old beard, who were smart and literate but never let that get in the way of being physically active most of the time.

How many geeks does that describe? (That described many of the people who got Silicon Valley started .... then)

Relationships are a distant priority here, work definitely comes first. Life suffers etc...

Exactly! You got a huge population of men in the SF area who want to work 70-80 hours/week. This leaves the door wide open for the men who have time for a relationship. I have found that women in SF are desperate to find men that will make time for them.

I wish I could tell all you guys working 70-80 hours the stories I've heard from 45-year-old guys who did that when they were your age. Short version: cut that out.

I've had more time to think about this... This link is now the number 2 link on HN. A few days ago one of the top links was about how to survive on $36/month for food. You have to be kidding me, right? Sorry, but woman and marathon, multi-day coding sessions filled with noodles, beans, rice, oats and pb&j just don't mix.

Exactly. Think about the kind of guy who starts a blog dedicated to the fact that there "aren't girls in San Francisco". Now find me a group of girls flocking to be in his presence.

It's too bad, because he's clearly got a good sense of humor.
