I prefer SF to LA and NYC.
Choosing between those three is "what you call one of those good problems."
Really? SF girls, besides being uglier, are often the type to idolize Tina Fey, and shriek if you say anything un-PC. I couldn't open my mouth without getting shouted down. There's an awesome blog ragging on SF girls called Why There Are No Girls In San Francisco.
This is true, but the great thing about SF? The guys are so spineless that they imitate the girls, and they too are groupthinking wusses who idolize Tina Fey. Your competition in SF is graphic artists who don't lift and read about gender theory, your competition in LA is the cast of Prison Break.
I've been going out to different hipster and alternative bars now, with decent to good talent, and the male competition is pretty weak. Harvard and Stone, Villain's Tavern, La Descarga... Not saying these venues are the greatest for macking per se - that depends on the night I'd bet - but the competition was weak. The truth is the guys who are your competition, 90% of the time, would not be caught dead in certain hipster or alternative joints. Most guys are choosing where to go based on where their friends and social set go. Some joints draw lots of guys with good game, some with few. Douchier 'see and be seen' joints definitely have more potent male competition.
IMO, weak competition and 40% girls is manageable. But 30% girls even with weak competition gets to be challenging.
La Descarga is a solid venue. Girls freak out on dates when they haven't been there before.
I notice the competition is weak downtown as well. The only place I feel competition is on the Westside.
I started growing out some stash and goatee a couple years ago, going for the ethan hawke look a little. Very positive response. As far as the hardcore hipster bushy beard look you guys might be referring to, I never see those dudes with hot girls.
