Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This posts attempts to make a point that San Francisco is special amongst daters in the eyes of OkCupid, Match and eHarmony. I fail to see the point, except that it creates an interesting readable article where they can also introduce new dating startups in this area in the name of DateBuzz and Skout. Also, the fact that Northern California is home to Apple and Android makes the article more plausible.
With regards to the statistics of online daters in the California region, Jumpdates.com has consistently shown the following trends in the table below. This clearly shows that Los Angeles has twice the activity of San Francisco… as it should be.
| Total (States) | Los Angeles | San Francisco | San Diego | Sacramento | |
| California | 10,787 | 3,127 | 1,486 | 321 | 224 |
| New York | Brooklyn | Bronx | Buffalo | ||
| New York | 8,185 | 5,171 | 317 | 187 | 102 |
| Dallas | Houston | San Antonio | Austin | ||
| Texas | 4,590 | 847 | 764 | 245 | 217 |
