I'm going to be staying in downtown San Francisco for a week in July. Can anybody suggest some target-rich places to pick up DTF women?
That's quite a broad question. Are you looking for daygame or nightgame? Are you more into mid-to-late-20s white girls, or younger party-type girls? Are you more into clubbing or sipping a drink at a jazz bar? From my time in SF (lived in the Bay for 3 years), I've noticed that its a very social circle/niche type of city - if you just go to any bar looking to approach girls, it probably won't go well. SF gets a bad rep because of that, but there are ways to succeed; you just need to find a place that is congruent with your personality type. I'll give a quick breakdown.
If you want to experience the typical SF bar scene (ie: mid-20s working white girls, tons of 5-7s, 2:1 guy/girl ratio or worse), go to Polk Street or The Marina. Some bars I'm familiar with include McTeague's (Polk St), Wreck Room (near Polk St), and the "Triangle Bars" - 3 bars on one intersection in The Marina - just tell your cab/uber driver "Triangle Bars" and he will know where to go. On the surface, it looks like it'd be easy to pull at these places since there is always a big crowd of people, and everybody seems to be wasted and DTF. I've never had the best experience, though. The ratios range from bad to atrocious (this is where the entire tech workforce goes), and the rejections can be brutal. I think most of my worst rejections have come in these bars. There is a club scene in SF, but its tiny compared to LA/NYC/Mia/LV, so I've never bothered going to those places since I now live in LA. I'd definitely feel out Polk St or Marina one of the nights, but get ready to make a lot of approaches. My friends who run this scene regularly get laid very occasionally.
If you're younger (<26-27) and like to dance, I'd check the events calendar at Ruby Skye, 1015 Folsom, Bill Graham, etc. Just google "San Francisco edm" and other variants of that. Tickets are usually cheap and can be bought in advance. The EDM scene in SF might be the best in the US, and there are tons of hot 18-22 DTF girls there. Girls are also way friendlier than at typical bars, and you'll have less competition. No huge need for social circle either, I've rolled solo to events before and always had a great time. If you're more into hanging out at a lounge, there are a lot of piano/jazz bars scattered throughout the city. I have less experience there, but I don't doubt that you'll meet some cute girls.
For daygame, I'd suggest Market Street and the Union Square area. There's always hundreds of tourists there, so its much easier to start a conversation. USF, SF State, and SFCC are all not too far away, but its summer now so there will likely be way fewer girls. Fort Mason (aka Frat Mason) is a big park where people go day drinking and there are a lot of cute girls, but its very social circle heavy and can be tough to actually meet anybody. I've had a great time there, but I've always gone with a group.
You know your personality more than anybody. I'd highly suggest going to places congruent with your personality, since the typical SF bar scene is full of overconfident 5s. You'll have more success in a niche scene. Hopefully this helps.
