This concept keeps popping up lately. The first time I remember hearing about it was in this book called "Young Money" which follows a bunch of kids as they start working on Wall Street and focuses on their disillusionment. - source I've never spent more than a couple days in Seattle or San Fran so I can't comment on whether it's this bad or not. I've gone on a couple dates with some tech / startup guys and they're generally pretty cool. Maybe it's because LA still requires you to have a tan and abs to be a "10" so the entitlement and arrogance isn't blown out of proportion like up north. Maybe it's because they aren't in a city where startup life dominates the culture. Regardless, I find dating to be quite tedious, albeit fun, game. I've found that the second you stop yearning for a date is the second you accidentally trip over a guy you can genuinely care about.in another life, would go into finance.
