I think the dating ritual depends on the city.  I probally shouldn&#x27;t say this, but I see many single women move to San Francisco, and while if they get housing, they enjoy big-city events, but dating is not one of them here.<p>San Francisco is not a good place for straight women to date.  No one talks about it, because it&#x27;s not politically correct, but in my observations they come here, and are lonely.<p>There&#x27;s just too many single women, and not enough men.  I have a very attractive ex-girlfriend, and we had so many conversations about social life, or lack there of.  It got to the point, where I took her out and watched what took place.  Guys--way below her league wouldn&#x27;t talk to her unless she aggressively talked to them first.<p>I know I get hammered because I&#x27;m not being politically correct, and yes--there&#x27;s always the exceptions, but at least in San Francisco it&#x27;s difficult for sigle women looking for a steady relationship.<p>I&#x27;ll point out the politically incorrect thoughts, and save you time:<p>I shouldn&#x27;t have stereotyped.  I shouldn&#x27;t have assumed some females are looking for a steady relationship.  I shouldn&#x27;t have mentioned looks&#x2F;personality when I said &quot;way below her league&quot;.  I probally left out something that hurt someone deeply--sorry.
