Yes, there are girls. I dated a few. But the ratio is pretty bad and most of them are tired of ubiquitous tech guys. I sometimes felt embarrassed to even mention that I work in tech. Maybe that's my problem.
Yes, well... dating does not get much easier regardless of where you go. And the same dynamics apply to attractive girls as to talented developers -- more of them will be in bigger cities, and your chances of meeting them will be higher.
Accordingly, competition and selectivity will naturally go up -- you'll have to be creative!
