Filters: I have a specific plan, and specific critera. Help me hook up and win big prizes! Once there, I plan on aggressively searching for love - hopefully, a wife I'm a straight, 44 year old man. I need your help in figuring out where to live in this area, to give me the best chances of this. However, I have a specific plan in mind, and specific criteria I hope to find in a woman. Please take a look at both before making your suggestions. I will be using online services Match. I just need to live close enough to get matched up with and date the ones I'm looking for.
So, given the plan I've described, I'm hoping you people can tell me: 1. Where do the women described above live, typically? Are they concentrated in the city itself, or nearby? Peninsula or South Bay? I'm talking about concentrations, places where I'll have the best chances, relative to the questions below.
For any of you who have used these types of services - when they help you find a match "in your area", how big an area do they encompass? Where do I have to live to be in the service area of the women I've described? Ladies - how close does a man need to live for you to date him? When you look at a Craigslist personal, how far out of your "area" do you look? I'm assuming we're talking driving time here, as opposed to actual distance.
If there is something I've left out, please ask or suggest. I will monitor the thread. I appreciate your help. If things work out over the next year, I'll come back to this thread, pick out one or more of the helpful answers, and reward you for your efforts. I'm notoriosly generous when I'm in love. You don't mention a budget for rent. In general, I'd say finding such a place in one of the pricier areas of town would increase your chances of surrounding yourself with those who are doing well in their careers.
Assuming a low budget, take some days to hang out in the different areas you can afford, pick one you like and find a place near a light rail line for maximum accessability. I've only ever lived in the Outer Sunset, so I know that is not what you are looking for not densely populated, lots of families, abundance of surfers although I'd argue that is a science when attempted at Ocean Beach.
