My guess, it's not as hard to find women in the office in tech companies in key roles outside of SF at least not as bad as it's made out to be in CA and the tech centric news sources that tend to focus solely on Silicon Valley as representative of tech as a whole. Some of us work in regular old Fortune 500 companies that aren't based in SF, and generally, but not always, they seem to do a better job on the gender mix and attracting female talent granted its not 50/50. Maybe companies in other areas provide better work life balance and stability than start up culture tech companies, I don't know. This is also purely anecdotal and based on my experience.

Might just mean in general, if the person's single maybe the odds are better of meeting someone, no idea.



I believe SF has a much better straight male to female ratio than the rest of SV. A lot of single women want to live in the city.
