Bali is the most overrated place I've ever been. I actually got laid quite a bit there (particularly with a hot Norwegian girl), but actually being there day-in and day-out fucking sucked. Constantly hassled and scammed by locals, loud drunk Aussie kids walking around everywhere, same shitty nightlife every night, and yes, the food was fucking terrible. Also, the boat trip to Gili is possibly the biggest waste of money I've ever spent on a tourist trip.
Yes, the scenic parts of the island are nice, but you can cover them in a day or two. Yes, the surfing is great if you're experienced. Otherwise you're stuck on Kuta, which is overcrowded and the swells are pretty lame.
I did bang a local my first week there, and was convinced she was a pro for the first hour I hung out with her. Turned out she was just some girl visiting from Jakarta and really wanted to meet a white dude. Done and done. She was literally the only hot non-pro local I met the whole time I was there. No idea where one would look otherwise.
