What living in Marina means

Apartment hunting seems to be a big job, especially when you are looking for an apartment for yourself in San Francisco.

I am happy with my progress in the passed couple of days, I have managed to narrowed down my search into three areas: Russian Hills, Pacific heights, Marina. These are arguably most prestigious areas in San Francisco. My new office would be just a few blocks away from center of Pac heights and Russian hill, a big plus, although there are "hills" involved.

The next preference is Marina, gorgeous area, that is San Francisco is all about. According to property manager Sherman who showed me a gorgeous apartment, 90% residents around Fancy Marina area are women, pretty and young women in their 30s, 40s, some 20s. It's expansive area, you got be pretty smart to be able to afford an apartment here.

Sherman is interesting, he has a theory about why Women prefers Marina more than men do. He said, beautiful young women are here to stay and look for love. They care about the living quality more than men do. Men don't care about living quality, they care about sports, cars, that kind of stuff...

I was intrigued. I am a man who is into sports more than women do, but probably not as much comparing to other men, I am not into cars. I am actually into a good living quality, maybe it's because I am old, in my 30s now. A couple years ago, I would be more than happy just to crash anywhere. But now, although I have only worked full time for 5.5 years, I have a great sense of urgency to become an established man, an independent man, a successful man. I don't know if owning an apartment will qualify me that, or at least, put me in a situation where I can formally social with other people and claim: now I have my own place.
