[...] it’ll fare a little better. Plus, Mike Giant may or may not be involved, and we all know his musings on San Francisco (and it’s women) can be pretty astute. Here’s the official [...]

haha, Ok. this has gone a bit far? is anyone here familiar with ANY of Giant’s art? that aside, who here can’t see how light-hearted this is? more of a mildly funny way of detailing a few Mission cliches and Tattoo references. NO BIG DEAL. this is not some flawed technical diagram of an actual archetype/window into the shallow, sexist soul of a world-class LOCAL artist. the only thing he forgot to add was after fucks on a first date “takes offhand comments too seriously”

I know this girl, she served me coffee at Ritual once. All I could think while looking at her was, “Stop purposely looking like my fat, spandex-wearing, bespectacled, late-80′s self–the self that I was hopelessly mocked for for most of my childhood–on PURPOSE you ignorant idiot!”

i, personally, can identify pretty significantly with “the modern san franciscan” character, and if she did live in ohio til she was 22 i’ll betcha the only things she misses now about the midwest are 1. her family and 2. those midwestern boys.

You forgot the 18+ formative years spent growing up in a city that folks like you have to dream, save, and move to experience. On average, you’ll eventually move out to the east bay.

I’m afraid I just don’t see the point of this: it’s not clear whether it’s supposed to be a satire or celebration of current trends, and either way it’s not insightful nor pointed enough to be anything more than lame. Double F fail. Nice draftmanship though.

actually, you I rarely see cyclists in SF (especially the hipster type, as depicted in this drawing) wearing a helmet. Apparently it isn’t cool. Apparently, the possibility of being hit by a car or bus & suffering a brain injury is way more cool & edgy. The tattoos are perfect… the mark of a hipster who thinks he/she is advertising their nonconformity with outre tattoos, when in reality they wouldn’t be sporting tattoos unless they were indeed what they are: conformists! I would say the opposite of the previous poster… such women aren’t rare, they are as ubiquitous as squirrels

Someone forwarded me this a few months back, and I randomly came across it again. My take is and was very different than what has been said so far in this thread.

I took it as a tongue and cheek commentary on dating in the city, from a guy’s perspective. For a certain type of SF male, it’s the perfect woman. She exists, but is rare, and her mere existence makes it hard for mere mortal women to measure up.

I can also see the commentary on the city’s female population (they used to be so much cooler, artistic, etc.) but I view that as a lesser theme.

I realize this thread is killed, but I felt it worth commenting. Happy indian summer!

people born here who are still here have probably only lived in one place, right? even if that place is SF: lame. also, many who have moved here are refugees from a place that wouldn’t accept them (e.g. midwest). adversity builds character, yo. all the interesting natives of SF probably grew up in “the ghetto”.

Wow, haters. You’re on the Mission Mission blog bagging on the Mission? You have more time on your hands than I do, that’s for sure. How about writing your own blog and celebrating your place and/or lifestyle instead of being a scrotum about mine? It’ll make you happier, I promise.

p.s. Midwestern boys rock! Keep moving here! You’re delicious!

p.p.s. Bloggers on the site- Love love love it! KevMo got a bad rap. You’re all fabulous!
