A condition affecting many heterosexual males living within major urban centers such as San Francisco, USA and Vancouver, Canada that have demographics of both a disproportionately high population of gay men and a disproportionately high ratio of single women over single straight men.
With such demographics ostensibly in their favor, a surprisingly small number of single straight men in such centers take pleasure in the availability of so many single women.
Rather, the single straight males afflicted with the San Francisco Syndrome become intimidated, resentful and reclusive, refusing to socialize in such demographics, preferring to remain at home playing with their remote controls.
This leads to the single women becoming more and more independent, more friendly with gay men, and generally (if not totally content) far more prepared to remain single.
Which in turn leads to a further schizm with the absent single males, often leading to their feelings of general insecurity, misogyny and homophobia.
The result is the three most prominent social groups found in such cities: gay men, their single women friends and the absentee, almost invisible single straight males.

It sure is great for us girls to get out of the city once in a while. Not only do we get to breathe in some healthy, clean country air, but we can also finally meet some self-confident, sexy straight single men who aren't suffering from the San Francisco Syndrome.

Get the francesca mckenna mug.Francisco also known as Frank is a typical, local, calm and weird Mexcian guy, he's random when you first meet him, probably introduced by his friends afterwards. He can agree or disagree on points a certain person will make by saying Yuh or No. He's not gay but his friends think he can be and that perfect match is with anyone by letter M, he's into a lot of things like DBZ and Beans, he also has a nickname, cut the cisco out his name and that's what you get. Always known for wearing white sweaters and owning a PlayStation 4, you two could become friends in a second but make that first impression. If you make him things, he'll appreciate you more and calls you by your Instagram username instead of your real name but when the time comes, he'll use it and probably get it right. He's an active dude and always supports his friends. (Now, I'm not sure if this is right but-) When in a relationship, he'll tell you all about the amazing things he likes or where he would like to go, what favourite DBZ he stans and probably will get to know you more closely and what you like. And he goes... YEEEEEEEEERD
Girl 1: Have you seen Francisco? He's really rocking his white sweater today!
Girl 2: He's pretty cool in it, basically can decorate it with paint or markers if he'd want.
Girl 1: Or beans, since he loves those.
Girl 2: That too, I guess.
