San Francisco Tech Workers Treat Dating Like Business Projects

San Francisco tech workers and AI founders are increasingly utilizing spreadsheets, data tracking, and ChatGPT to analyze dating apps, optimize matches, and manage romantic relationships like corporate projects. This trend highlights how intense tech startup culture and extreme work hours are reshaping modern romance, turning personal relationships into high-pressure efficiency evaluations. Dating coaches in San Francisco now charge up to $5,000 a month to help tech founders apply workplace metrics like 'funnel top' and 'conversion rate' to their love lives. Meanwhile, alternative social events like 'Date My Friend' slide presentations have emerged as a pushback against hyper-optimized dating.
