I was there in October and it was the least favourite for me also of the three Caucasian capitals.
The city pretend to be rich even if it's dirtpoor. Just look a litte bit outside the city and the government have built walls on the both side of the road just in try to hide the poverty.
And the girls... I recall NN was bragging about Azeri girls but to me they look pretty much like Turkish girls. Can't even compare with Armenian girls.
I agree with Baku is simply not worth to go to unless it's for some job in the oil business.
Yes, Azeris and Turks are very similar linguistically and ethnically and agree with everything else in your post, especially the bolded. Though I will say that there is a lot of money in the city and they work very hard and spend a lot of money to keep the center clean, however, once you leave that bubble it falls off fast. I would guess very top heavy distribution of wealth.

Did you get any notches?
The best interaction I had with a local girl was asking for a decent coffee place (I was waiting for the Heydar Aliev museum to open), she was super friendly but looked much better from behind, probably a 5 on her best day. I was stone cold sober and couldn't bring myself to ask for her number.
