Yeah, it is a sausagefest, but honestly, it&#x27;s not terrible. Be outgoing. Don&#x27;t try and argue with non-techies about Node vs Rails. Leave tech at work. Don&#x27;t make it your entire life, and you&#x27;ll do fine. It&#x27;s not that dire.<p>I moved here single. I dated a lot. I&#x27;m now married. I&#x27;m by no means a player.<p>I live in a more popular area of SF where young people live and go out all nights of the week. Tech people are not at a disadvantage. Don&#x27;t believe the (bad) hype and play into stereotypes.<p>If you&#x27;re young, fabulous, doing well financially, but striking out with dates, don&#x27;t blame it on your job or location. Dating is a contact sport. The more contacts you make, the better off you are.
