Is SF really that bad for others as well in terms of dating, or even casual sex? I find myself much easier to connect to people the moment I’m out of SF. Anyone else having similar experience?

No me; my best hookups were in Frisco! [I know locals hate that term.]

Sex and dates seem easy to access for me.

One thing I noticed: I am less likely to be approached by strangers in bars/clubs, but as soon as I am part of any social or professional circle, then I get a lot of opportunities from that circle. That slight filtering really helps for some reason. If you're struggling to date or hook up, join some type of team/organization.

It’s bad in all major cities. You have an easier time when traveling because you’re fresh meat there.

Whats sf mean

San Francisco; airport code SFO. It's also known as north bay

I find SF super easy to break a headboard. I will initiate a conversation with anybody (though realistic about which gents I can realistically close the deal with). I am then upfront about not living there and just wanting to burn some calories while giving him a sore jaw (amongst other things). Then things usually fall into place.

Maybe I am oversimplifying the scenario, just my honest experience. Drag shows seem to put everybody at ease. Have you had good luck making some sort of a connection during one of those events?

Any reason why you are not attending and putting yourself out there?

I felt SF was easier than NYC. But I’m a gay Asian twink lol

Yikes. I mean I def got more attention in sf compared to nyc. Not sure what it is. Maybe they are more used to hanging out with Asians

I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.
