How are the men in SJ? Are the stereotypes true?
I have heard the stereotypes of nerdy tech guys from SJ, but is this really true? With so many people, SJ has to have a certain percentage of single men that are not into gaming and stuff right? Or no?

I scored 800 on my SAT. I'm not a nerd and I live in SJ.
I can't tell the difference between a square and a circle.
Steven Jobs = my hero. I love him.

I wasted like a minute of my life reading that. Why even bother posting? Not helpful at all. |

Not really a true stereotype. If you go downtown at night you'll find normal guys for example

I see. What about the stereotype about SF guys being commitment-phobic? Is that true? I like living in SF, but don't wanna deal with flaky guys. |

You seem to be making a lot of generalizations about men in SF and SJ. Have you actually experienced this yourself or are you basing it on stereotypes (which, quite frankly, I hadn't really even heard before even though I've been in the area for quite a while)?
Look, you're going to find people of all sorts in each city. Both SJ and SF are big cities with a diverse populations. You're definitely going to like some men and not like others in each city. If you're going to pre-judge people based on where they live (which you seem to be doing), that's not going to help you to find the right guy. |

You need to read my post more carefully. I asked if the stereotype was true and if it were then I wouldn't want to live in a place that will lower my chances. I know they are generalizations, but sometimes those exist for a reason. If they are not true, then good. That's all you had to tell me. You do not need to accuse me of things. |

Spot on. Couldn't have said it better myself. The post sounds more like a troll than anything. |

Um it was an honest question. Just because you misinterpreted the question doesn't mean I am a troll.
I was just asking if the stereotypes are true or not. Some stereotypes do have some truth to them. |

Are stereotypes of entire populations of people ever true? Why don't you give us an example of one that is.
