Could you compare gay communities/life between NYC and SF?

I’m a single gay male in NYC contemplating a move.

In my experience, mid-size cities are best when it comes to dating. The bigger the city, the worse it gets.

But I’ve never lived in SF, so can’t speak to it with certainty.

like

Nyc, hotter crowd, more diverse career paths, very status oriented, very drug oriented culture, ppl always looking for next best thing, much bigger pool

I agree with this! Every time I go to SF and open the apps I’m like where are the good looking guys? On the flip side in NYC the 7s are looking for the 9s and the 9s are holding out for the 11s.

The best kept secret is that the gays in Austin, and Florida (Ft Laud in particular) are 50x better than SF or NYC. Nicer, hotter, more down to earth and more likely to form a lasting relationship.

Or Philadelphia, Boston, Seattle, Baltimore, etc.

Not Chicago?

Sf is better. I live in nyc and tried dating in SF for a few months and it was 100x better.

The guys are less mean in SF. More seem willing to actually date vs just hookup

I work in NYC now and used to live in SF many years ago. Times were different back then but SF was great. I visited last year and it didn't have thr same feeling. San Francisco has lost its charm.

NYC is properly queer, SF is gay dominant

Can you explain the difference?

Interviewing for a CSM role. Need to present a mock case study to customers. Gist of it is that the customer is advertising with us, doing well, but also doing well advertising with another company. Im assuming the presentation should consist of a performance review, why they should stay with us, and upsell potential. I’ve never done anything like this.

What usually goes into these presentations? What kinds of questions should I prep for?

I dated someone 15 years older than me and he always lectured me about what did I do wrong.

Almost everything I did or said he’d follow with some criticism. I ghosted him after another lunch date full of such lectures.
