1) The dating market for Asian men in San Francisco faces unique economic challenges due to an imbalance of supply and demand factors in the local population and industries. 2) The disproportionate number of male technology workers and high rates of homosexuality locally reduce the number of available Asian women, while Asian fetishism by non-Asian men artificially inflates demand. 3) As a result, Asian women in San Francisco feel they can command above market value and have unrealistic standards for dating, despite economic inefficiencies created by factors that skew the real supply and demand.
