Actually girls in NYC are attracted to success and most women here are very impressed by "I started my own company in NYC". Although this is where your ability to "massage" the truth comes into play.

Pretend for a second that you realize that girls read HN too. If you massage the truth about your company, it's inconceivable that I would sleep with you, let alone take you seriously.

Honestly, I don't think it's very many. There was a poll a few days ago and I think the male to female ratio was was something like 9:1.

And I'm pretty sure I can sometimes (with very high confidence) identify women who don't read Hacker News.

why would people vote this comment down?

B/c the OP just finished writing several paragraphs about women. Getting laid with men obviously doesn't 'suit' him, so the comment was a bit misdirected. Generally it's correct, but sounds a bit snarky when directed at someone who is clearly hetero.

Commenter is pointing out something highly relevant about San Francisco, and more importantly the article says, "In short, New York City is more interesting and—I believe—better suited for the startup and a young guy’s lifestyle."

Young guy does not just mean heterosexual. If you're talking about best possible choices for founding a company, for gay men what he's complaining about would not be an issue.
