Buy or Sell: San Francisco Chicks

What's everyone's thoughts on the chicks in San Francisco? Have heard that it's a tad on the rough side, that is hot chicks out at bars are scarce. Fully aware that there likely isn't socal type dimes running all over, and they'll likely skew more towards the post-modern hippie type. However, would be a real negative data point for me if all you'll find at bars is a bunch of tech dorks and bankers.

Also have seen / read some this:

Dudes overly analytical / brooding take on girls probably wouldn't get him laid anywhere but points seem valid nonetheless.

Interested to hear y'alls thoughts.

SF girls are fine, but you aren't likely to impress them with what you do. They aren't as fake or hollywood obsessed as SoCal girls, yet still have that great CA attitude. It's the Berkeley chicks who will be repulsed by finance guys.

SF is no Houston/Dallas for women, but it is not bad overall. The competition (techies) isn't bad, but they'll be able to devote much more time to a chick than you can. Because finance lacks a major presence in SF, it will be hard to convince a girl why you have to work 3x as much as a guy at Google.

Typical Day: 7:00 - Enter small indie cafe to checkout selection/prices/baristas. Bearded hipster A subtly judges me followed by the love child of Tina Fey and Justin Bieber asking what she could get me; promptly served by bearded hipster B.

7:30 - Cursory glance around trolley reveals 3:2 guy to girl ratio. Of the female cohort, median falls around 6.5 while two StDevs on either side would be a 5 and 8 respectively. Maybe 2-3 hot chicks(HC) with HC being 8+. Serious homogeneity exists.

lunch break: FiDi restaurants and pubs fill up quickly. Generally a higher chance of coming into contact with HC. Waitresses/bartenders talent level decent.

remainder of workday: nothing worth iterating.

8:00 - Head out to bars. Now this is highly dependent on what neighborhood you venture to. Marina is where I had the most success. Shallow yuppies and raucous frat bros are the order contrary to the more typical hipster/avant-garde OWS sympathizer type atmosphere prevalent in SF.

Obviously better talent in socal and I'd rate portland or seattle far above SF. I typed this in a hurry so sorry for any typos and lack of depth. Perhaps someone else can fill in the holes?

Great insight all around gentlemen, much appreciated.

DS, so the Marina's the spot then for rando tail? Any rough estimates on ratios?

What ratios did you want?

Yes the marina is your friend. For all intents and purposes consider it an LA enclave. Mission has some hotties if you're in to the hipster thing and can convince them you work for a non profit.

As far as rando tail try the blue light or tipsy pig - plenty of debauchery unfolding there
