The young guys who DO live here generally have roommates and very small places.

On the other hand, the young guys who make good money and can afford Manhattan work a lot so it can be hard to just sort of run into them. But David Barton gym is probably a good start. As to clubs, just pick up the HX or Next and look at the listings. There's a good cross-section of guys at all the big clubs.
