I've been to SF a number of times during the day as a tourist, to shop, dine at restaurants, etc.

What's the nightlife like? I'm usually so tired from the day's activities that I don't go out late at night. I've done a bit of research and while the male female ratio is 1:1, there must be a substantial gay male population, meaning that there are significantly more straight females than straight males. In theory, this should make things favorable for straight men in SF.

On the other hand, I've heard some of my friends claim that women in SF don't dress up, don't wear makeup, are not friendly, yada yada yada.

One of these two positions must be false.

Or, perhaps there is a large lesbian population as well, meaning that the single straight men and single straight women is essentially equal?

It's all false, SF's gay population is only 15%, then again this has been discussed 20 thousand times on here. People who party in SF are not necessarily from SF, there are 7+ Million people in the area who come from all the surrounding cities to have a good time. SF is not cut off from the rest of the bay area or world. So to generalize makes no sense and is stupid as hell.

The gay guys are usually hanging out in the gay bars..it's pretty simple--you wanna meet hetero women, then don't hang out in gay bars.

Women are women..you cannot possibly think that hundreds of thousands of women are any different here. I think that if a man is having trouble meeting women, then it's probably "sour grapes" and will say stupid things in defense of his own shortcomings- like "Oh, the women aren't friendly...or the women are all lesbians and don't dress up". It's usually a problem with the complainer rather than the masses of single women that inhabit the San Francisco and the surrounding cities.

The OP never mentioned about difficulty meeting people. But it is true that women here in general dont dress-up or wear make-up compared to many places.

If you want more of that go to SJ downtown for nightlife. I love women who dress sexy.

Well here in the city they don't have to dress up to impress. They are just better than everyone else because they rent an apartment in SF (with 5 roommates! LOL). Living in SF automatically grants you superiority.

Yeah, I never had any problems either...but then again, I never turned people off with a morose, negative, whiny personality like some people on this board.

I'm just about to celebrate 15 incredible years with the love of my life that I met in San Francisco...wearing makeup (me) and a realistic attitude and plenty of experience behind me to learn from in the dating dept.
