I'd say that SV is a sausage fest, but if these guys are rich, and mobile, than what prevents them to move to a place where they would have much better ods at finding good looking and smart women? If you have money, NYC is a blast. Maybe they can work a pet project from there.

I'd say, if you have more than 3-4 millions on your bank account, you are really well off, and the only thing that prevents from finding a woman, is your character, or lack of trying.

Bad looks, can be fixed with some good fashion, exercise, and maybe some litle surgery.

True, but the cash is largely irrelevant. You could have 3-4 cents but if you have character and willpower you can find someone.

In fact, I would hypothesize that the kind of women who care whether you have $3-4 million are not the kind who care so much about character in the first place.

>Silicon Valley is filled with thousands of ugly rich dudes who can't find a date.

i suspect it is relative -- SV is also filled with thousands of average looking, rich dudes get enough dates -- the point is the pool of rich people in SV is larger than in many other places in the country, hence there is a larger barrier to entry.
