General Discussion

I live in the Bay Area and have straight friends, and I've heard this chatter from them for nearly a decade, both the women and the men. A lot of tech money is in the region, and women can be choosier about who they go on dates with (this is not a bad thing!). Mix in the absurd cost of living - housing prices included - and a lot of people feel they have to either be at a certain level or seek others who are at that level.

So, if you're a male not in tech or a similar industry and rolling in it, you're not having as easy a time. Particularly if you're young and starting out, because tech people make bank out of the gate where others are just trying to get started. I'm not saying they're having a hard time. I'm just saying not as easy. So there's resentment and things floating around due to that when men who are just doing ok are seeing asshole tech bros succeeding. The Bay Area is considered much better for women seeking dates than men. At least that's the popular impression of the situation. You hear it everywhere.

But hey, there are other regions where it's flipped around a bit. So it goes.

So glad I'm gay. Here's how I dated around in the Bay Area before settling down.

*opens app*
*goes on date*
The end.

Professor still sounds like kind of an asshole regardless. "How women behave." Lord.
