What city is the best for a single straight male, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara or San Francisco?

I've lived in both SF and LA, and I like LA better. Less difficult lifestyle if you ask me. I live in SF now.

I'd just like to add, I think people think the women are better down south based on the weather and dress styles. On warm days in SF you'll notice how much hotter the women look in downtown SF. Why? Because they are dressed like the girls do all the time in LA. Most of the time women are covered up in layers of pea coats and scarves.

Can't beat Santa Barbara as a young straight male looking to live the good life...The---I hate Santa Barbara thread is ridiculous...great coast--State Street--mountain back drop--fun nightlife--great restaurants--and a thriving University..laid back people...

Worthy of note: most SF women really have it together so make sure you do too to level the playing field!

You are 100% right on the clique part about meeting new people. Freindships can be real flighty out here. But I also think females in SF dont seem to be very outgoing in trying to meet different types of guys. Alot of these females put the money standards to high. My female co-workers all pretty much roll like that. They need to start being more realistic. Alot of guys dont even bother dating in SF anymore. They go to places like the South Bay, East Bay, and North Bay, because the females seem to be more cool, and just down to earth. I meet girls from all over the Bay, I must say I like the one's from outside of SF a lot better.

I would go with Santa Barbara or San Francisco.

Santa Monica is just for the superficial-shallow guy looking for the bimbo-no brains type of girl... Only these type of people or LA natives (they haven't seen anything else) like living in LA. All the ones who live in the surroundings hate going there unless is for a big concert or going to the airport...
