People ask me why I, a software developer, don't move to Silicon Valley where salaries are high and venture capital is easy to get. The skewed male/female ratio of Silicon Valley is the reason. As an Asian-American male, I have a hard enough time getting a date. Going to the valley seems like the odds would be double stacked against me.
That's what I did. And dating here is definately easier than (random medium sized American city). Of course, that might just come from being in a large metropolitan city. Silicon Valley might be the same - I've never lived there - but the male/female ratios indicate the odds aren't in my favor.
