As someone who made the move from the suburbs to sf proper, definitely. Way more people and it seems impossible to start a real relationship with the parents there. I would move here, get on the apps (preferably hinge) and show dates that you’re serious
Yes and no. You'll have a social life but it'll be all the same losers that just want to waste your time, which essentially means less down payment for your future place.
Save your time and money for a down payment.
A lot of it was just recognizing that I was doing it and committing to stop. But in practice, it meant not playing penpal with matches (just ask to meat them). After the date, don’t try to think of every reason to not see them again.
Yeah I used to live in San Jose and it was trash. Just thots and single moms (I’m in my 20s FWIW, not my scene)
Hinge has been working decently well for me in SF
Yes, and no. Depends on your preference. If making the move to SF, living closer to the downtown area (Russian Hill or Marina) will probably get you more bang for your buck in terms of social life and dating. Those areas come with a hefty price tag though compared to the avenues (sunset, outer Richmond, etc). To be transparent I already met my husband when we lived in SF but even before the pandemic, watching my single friends try to date in SF was somewhat painful. I don’t know what dating life is like out there now, but from the few encounters I’ve had sharing Uber rides with men out in SF, I would personally choose a down payment over that. Just my two cents. Good luck with whatever path you choose!
If you work remote, I’d recommend living in the city. 1/3 of marriages happen through the workplace. By living in the suburbs and not going into an office, you’re shooting yourself in the foot when it comes to dating. Same thing with the social scene. You’re handicapping yourself and your ability to grow a social network by staying at home.
Love personal finance and am targeting FIRE, but those are things I’m willing to delay my financial plans a bit for.
Yes, it is. Your odds of finding a partner drastically increase when you:
- don't live with your parents
- live in a walkable city
- go to the office
in that order.
I can relate to this post and I’m in the same dilemma as well. I’m not living in NorCal but in SoCal, working remotely, except not in my 30s yet! You could try subleasing or sharing an apt short term to try to reduce cost and at the same time save money for down payment to just not miss out on this opportunity and see if it’s worth it. Though I am also thinking if it’s a good idea to move to SF bc the ratio of men to women might be better haha!
