I think you get the feel of whether a city is masculine or feminine by looking at the women of the area, and how they carry themselves. Just an observation.

What an original response!
I live here so it's my prerogative. It fits because San Francisco doesn't straitjacket itself into dualistic gender roles.

Besides, stereotypes can be fun. (You seem like a fun person.)

Speaking of Paris as a Gigolo. . .

I mean if you add water to an ink brush you can get an infinite variety of gray from white to black, assuming that the paper itself is white.
The variety of forms one can create with that brush is also infinite. For fun, let's call it "individuality."

Los Angeles is?

Um, I disagree. What you described is not DC. DC is mostly full of political people, CEO's, bankers, etc. The architecture and vibe of the city feels masculine to me.
