The bay area is BRUTAL for dating; especially if you aren't' a white. conventionally attractive millionaire. I'm not saying this based onm tinder but from actually putting myself out there at bars and parties.

7 years working in startups -> long dry spells between a few one night stands. Eventually I gave up trying to form a connection with anyone. I had plenty of cash but life just felt empty and lonely.

One day I had enough and picked up a remote job and started traveling. The dating pool gets a lot better when you leave the united states. I had met a great girlfriend within a month of staying in Colombia.

Bay area -> make your money and get out as soon as you have the connections. its not worth staying.
